Really good nicknames are the ones everyone knows and uses, like Shaq. Everyone knows Foppa for Forsberg if you live in the philly area. I always liked Gator for Jason Smith.

I forgot about Gator. Apparently, he got that because he's a Florida Gators College football fan.

Russian newspaper Sport Express has reported that Ilya Bryzgalov and Pavel Datsyuk have officially agreed to contracts with CSKA Moscow. Anton Volchenkov close but not finalized.

Little ball of hate is my favorite. The Grim Reeper is solid too.

"Kramer" for Mike Richards was a lot better than "Richie".

Those are sweet names.

The team I play on

Everyone calls me Hate Tank LOL

im 6'5'' and 330 -- Not the best skater but I play good D Fence and keep the space in front of the tender open. Usally lead the team in block shoots and Pen Min. Not a good player but I try my best and its damn fun

on the latter. If this was baseball, Grim Reeper not as good. But for hockey (IMO) you can't beat it.

This is good. I want Bryz sharp for the opening of the season, whenever that is. Real games are good.

Comon! Whats wrong with Hartsy, G, Schenner, Simmer, Checkie, Coots, Danny, Reader, Talbs, Shells....besides the fact they lack any imagination or originality.

Perhaps we should invent nicknames:

Rinaldo can be RINO!

Saw this too... Good news to stay sharp, but for the love of God don't anyone get hurt here. If he blows groin, people will lose their mind with Leighton. I personally think it'd be great.. LOL

The lockout sucks and all that, but if Leighton loses his entire 1 year contract with the Flyers and we never see him suit up.... I think it'll add a bit of humor to a lousy situation at least.

My 2 year old knows all the Flyers by their nicknames. Family doesn't understand when she's talking about the Flyers and names "coots", "Simmer" and "Danny B.".
