Dumb Nuck Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 CDC should create an official nickname Committee where any and all future nicknames of any Canucks players are suggested, voted upon and assigned to avoid any future embarrassment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 John Garrett's lotto 649 nickname has to be one of the worst. Hard to live that one down, I still hear guys call him that occasionally after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBackup Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Huggy Bear is an awesome nickname. Its leagues better than just taking a syllable from a player's name and altering it somewhat like 99% of hockey nicknames. (Millsy, Mysey, Petey, Hogs, Demmer, etc). The nicknames that sound like some ferocious animal or badass warriors are really, really cringy in real life. They're something you'd call your toddler. They're absolutely patronizing to refer to an adult man. They may work for your D&D campaign or whatever, but I sure wouldn't want to be known as something like 'Falcon' or 'Viking' or 'XxNightpainxX'. I assume guys that legitimately want to be referred to by something like that are the same ones that won't shut up about their katana collection.

I’d rather he not have a nick name then, Huggy bear sends the wrong message, last thing you want is your opponents thinking you’re cute but hey, we got Huggy bear, others have Stanley Cups. Sad thing, our coach is a Huggy Bear enabler. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like a grown adult isn't going to be intimidated by another player solely because the fans call him "The Venomous Snake" or something cringy and nonsensical. That's the kind of mindset that gives you dumb team names like the "Wild" or uniforms like the flying V. Do you think a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins is shaking in their skates from fright when playing the Sharks because sharks eat penguins? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s this thing called image, it’s why some guys get lucky more than others, in sports you want to cast a tough image, it makes a difference, ever hear “ keep your head on a swivel when so and so is on the ice”? That’s image and it alters the oppositions play. Why do you think players chirp, same reason. I’m sorry but huggy bear just doesn’t cut it in the NHL.
