Name That Line

Here's a bit of fun on Friday. It's time to play Name that Line.

Let's start with the most interesting potential line: Hall - Nugent-Hopkins - Eberle

The Halls Balls Line - I just think it sounds funny. And it contains the word "Balls".

The Futility Line - Hall and Nugent-Hopkins are Oilers thanks to two consecutive last-place finishes. So, yeah for futility.

The HEH Line - As in, "heh, the Oilers have scored on you again".

The Retro Rockets - Hall is Messier-like, Nuge is Gretzky-like, and Eberle is very Kurri

The Black Gold Line - I am adding this in because I like it. The Golden Nugget line was a suggested name, but Black Gold sounds more Oiler-like.


Here's another line to discuss: Smyth - Horcoff - Hemsky

The Geezer Pleasers - Because compared to the rest of the team, they're really, really old.

House of Glass Line - If history can indicate anything, all three could be injured for the season by the 40 game mark

20 Odd 6 Line - Isn't that a gun? Anyway, they were here for the cup run in 2006


Next line to give a name to: Paajarvi - Belanger - Omark

Flash and Crash - Omark is all flash and Paajarvi drives the net hard. Where Belanger fits into this, I'm not sure.

The Pine Line - Isn't everything at Ikea made in pine? Or pine could be what Paajarvi and Omark sit on if they're having a bad night. Ummm, pass on this name.

Two Men and a Half Men - Self explanatory name, I believe. Omark is about 5' 0".


Final line to discuss: Hordichuk - Brule - Jones

Chaos and Disorder Line - If Brule ever gets his game back, he'll skate around hitting everything. Hordichuk is chaos on skates. Jones plays a desperate style, and constantly surprises me at his willingness to do whatever is needed in all situations.

C4 U2 Line - Hordichuk is the hockey equivalent of C4 explosive. Didn't Brule date Bono or something during the summer?


So what lines and names do you suggest? Have some fun with it!
