I don't ever remember Cechmanek being called "The Bipolar Goaler"...

Must be a Philly thing

I just noticed that Luke Schenn is number 55 in NHL13. I know he is marked as 22 on the team but so many blow through that number (Tocchet, Richardson, Knuble). Markov left such an impact on me, I would love to see Schenn in 55.

wasn't miroslav dvorak called "cookie"?

i also have this idea that tim kerr was referred to as a tree, but i could be making that up.

and speaking of a tree, mark laforest was called "trees", for obvious reasons.

i called kjell samuelsson "tri-pod".

i called non-flyer dave manson "the charles". my personal favorite. an official nickname of another non-flyer, reijo routsalainen was "plexi rexi" because he always hit the glass with his shot. love that.

just a few off the top of my head.

Why "Free Candy"? It probably very obvious and I am just missing it.

Those sound like nicknames for high school cheerleaders.
