Grapes-N-Canucks Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I got to thinking about nicknames at work. I'm a big believer in them; not just for hockey players, but for everyone, because it adds a little color and character to your story. Juice, Captain Canuck, Lou, Big Bert, Kes, Captain Kirk McLean, you get the idea. I personally like Grapes, Ronnie Franchise and The Little Ball of Hate. Some of the guys that haven't been with the big club very long or this year's draftees need a nickname. Guys like Bo Horvat, Hunter Shinkaruk, and Jordan Subban may have 'em and I'm not aware. Cole Cassels could be Hi-C? I mean Ronalds Kenins is dying for a nickname. I did some searching @ http://en.wikipedia....ockey_nicknames I saw on this website that Kesler's nickname is Guzzler. I hadn't heard that one, nor saw it here and it is Wikipedia. Thoughts? Favorites? Late- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goalie13 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Not every player needs a nickname. Personally, I find the obsession of coming up with nicknames for players or lines to be a little strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapes-N-Canucks Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm not suggesting every player, but for some it makes sense I think. And it can be fun and memorable. Late- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyllenhaal Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Didn't Kesler get his nickname from that one interview Bieksa did when the host mistook him for Kes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swflyers28 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Crybaby is suitable from Crosby of course. Finnish Flash, the Swedish Olympic team (Detroit's whole team), Smurfs (Habs), Cosmonaut (Bryz), Flower?, Jumbo Joe, Phil "The Thrill" Kessel (or lack there of) and the great 8.
