Arnageddon is the most-used nickname for Arnason, followed by Sanjaya (which I added to the list). “Random Comment” has been infrequently used and has not stuck like the others. When and if it does, I’ll add it.

Arnason responds to his nicknames
Me: Tyler, what do you think of your nickname, ‘Arnageddon’?
Arny:
Me: Uh… thank you? What about ‘Vortex of Sucktitude’?
Arny:
Me: Well… There you go.
A 2nd round rookie in the race for Calder? ORLY? Ya RLY!
Lappy seemed extremely obvious to me. I didn’t include blatantly obvious ones, like “Footer” or “Dr. Jones.”
St. Patrick might be worth adding. Someone needs to second this.

I'll second this.
The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind - Humphrey Bogart
Meathead – Scott Hannan. (at least for my undying hate of the overpaid teabagger)
Mile High Mayhem just another ho-hum Avs blog.
I should explain further… Hannan still has the propensity to take retard penalties at the most inopportune times.

Meathead has not gained widespread acknowledgment as a nickname for Hannan. Hobbit is far more commonly used by members. When Meathead is used more frequently by others, I’ll add it. Inclusion of the nicknames is based on general consensus via widespread use.
And that picture is really creepy.

Oh...and Kyle Quincey
BMF…Cause he is one Bad Motherfucker.

was there not also an AMP line?
the duke…foppa…i forgot who else was on it..
'I googled what the white stuff in a Ho-Ho was, i found out it has NINE cups of sugar..that will KILL YOU, it would turn your blood into fruit punch!'
And then there was the JAM line with [J]oe Sakic, [A]lex Tanguay, [M]ilan Hejduk.

Are these old lines currently referenced enough to warrant inclusion in the list? I’m asking honestly because I’m not sure. What do you guys think?
I’m not sure the list should be a definitive guide to the entire history of the Avalanche.

no, they’re not.

A couple of suggestions:
It makes me smile that my undying lust for my boyfriend is noted in the glossary and recorded for all time. You should include, tho, that many often refer to him as “Beachie’s Boyfriend” in case some folks around here aren’t able to make the analytical leap from lust to love.
Donut Line: any line Arnason centers

Noted. Will add “Beachie’s Boyfriend” to the entry.
I didn’t add the Donut Line to the list because it was coined over at Dater’s blog, but since it’s seen some use here, I’ll toss it in there.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
I had no idea that was coined elsewhere.

It was the DP
I (and probably others) referenced it right after it was coined by the guy at the DP. No linky for when we started doing it. It was probably only a day or two after the DP post if you want to search by date though.
Get rid of the loser point
09-10 Avs- Nowhere to go but up!
The List itself has a link. And yes, it came from Dater’s blog.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
Serious question
When these posts slide off the front page, where does the Glossary/Nickname List reside? I looked in the Sections list and didn’t see it there. Am I just missing something?
I thought you knew that algebra was all razzamatazz. A Globetrotter always saves the good algebra for the final minutes.
I’ll be adding permanent front page links in the very near future. Trying to decide the best place to put them.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
Oh, okay.
I just wasn’t sure how to get to those pages quickly if someone needed something during a game thread and I could quick link it to them.

Left sidebar, in the “About This Blog” widget. I’ll investigate a more visible location, but that should do for now.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
Hmmm
What about up top along the bar with “Home” ’FanPosts" “FanShots” and all that noise or is that something in the site design that would have to be changed by the web design homies?

I don’t have access to the top bar, unfortunately. That’s where I’d prefer to put them, in an FAQ tab or something similar.
Alas, I cannot.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
Could create a FAQ category
similar to the GDT/GPT ones. So it’ll appear right under the big logo.

Well, those are based on “Section” tags, and the “Pages” I used to build the Glossary and the Nickname List don’t include Section tags. So I may have to relocate them. Not sure what I’m going to do yet, but I’m not quite satisfied with their current linkage on the About widget.

Ooohhhh
Now that I’ve actually l’ve actually looked at it, I dig it.

Oh, wow.
You know what it was? I typed in “I’ve” and it gave me the Red Line of Grammar Fail so I typed it out again to see if I did it wrong the first time and I didn’t get the aforementioned line and just forgot to erase the first one.
I mean, debauchery.

Not a chance.
I have so many daily rounds to visit that I keep bookmarked that I don’t have the space to burn on some Glossary stuffs. That’s just insanity.

I just read through it. The only one that I never got until I read it was Highlander. I knew that it was McLeod’s nickname. Just didn’t put together the origins thing correctly. In my mind, I thought that it was because when he joined the team, Cody McCormick was also on the team…Two Cody Mac’s. And you know, there can be only one!

Personally, I’ve taken to calling Marek Svatos “Lost Edge”. That’s just me, though. “Toe Kick” is another one I’ve used, due to that really annoying thing that he does with his right foot every time he has the puck when he lifts his toes in the air.
"I intend to kick your ass today." - Denver Broncos legend Tom Jackson
I thought about including “Svats Machine” but I never thought it really fit him. He had two good seasons but otherwise his most enduring trait is that he DOESN’T produce many stats of value. Even “Cy Young” doesn’t fit anymore because he actually assists on goals occasionally.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
Actually Svats Machine fits perfectly. It gives you returns just often enough to make you think, “This next one is gonna be the biggee!!” Alas, all you do is keep sinking money into the damn thing. That has Svatos written all over it.

I call Svats “Chaos” myself, because that seems to be the only situation where he scores nowadays, when there is chaos going on!
We saw yesterday that when he actually has a clear shot (god forbid) he can’t put it in to save his life.

Hehe, I remember Pimp Cane Theodore. I was shocked to see that photo in the paper, it was on the front page of the Denver Post! It wasn’t the major photo, but a smaller one, but still. Damn, Theodore was so good back then in that series, it looked like we might have finally gotten what we wanted, but then he sucked sooooo bad after that. What an amazing and drastic turnaround. It’s not like he got any better after that Wings series either. Has been very mediocre for Washington.

because Dutchyshen from TSN has that same nickname.

In all seriousness
I hate “Dutchie” because I heard fans at the Pepsi center calling him “Duchey” without any apparent awareness at what they were saying, and that mistake will continue if we call him Dutchy

It’s what his teammates call him, so unless somebody can come up with something better than that (that is also free of controversy, unlike Boy Wonder and Doogie), I’m sticking with Dutchy/Dutchie.
Mile High Hockey: Hoping for the best, expecting the worst, hating the Wings.
How about “Doobie”?
I know there were too many stoners on the team last year, but this year they are sorely underrepresented. And you, of all people, should want representation.
