Done.
I know everyone is busy, so I thought I’d post something until someone can get around to it. :)

OH. MY. GOD. How in the hell did you miss “Beachie’s Boyfriend” for my boyfriend? Wow. Simply wow.
Stastny-Stazzers (or is that just me? lol)
Anderson – Neo (though there’s a big contingent who hate that, there’s another who dig it), Mr. Anderson
Hendricks – Hendy, Jimmy
Hannah Hannan (tho I kinda like Hannah….)
Budaj/Duchene/Stastny – SUXXORS
The 2009-2010 Colorado Avalanche: People can stop waiting for these kids to hit the wall. They won’t.
Not that I know of, does anyone else want me to add that Nickname to the list?

Clark – Cave Man?
If Porter sucks we can call him Potty! Haha just kidding. my little brother’s middle name is Porter so I call him Jacob Porter-Potty.
And everybody can call Stastny what they want but I like Stats and am a huge proponent of THE STASTINATOR. That’s what I yell at games.
Oh also, I like spelling Dutchie as Dutchy. Get’s most of the douche sound out of there, hahaha.
Sorry, I’m French… I write it with an “ie” but again majority rules so what does everyone want?

ever have those names where you read the name but your brain sees something else? whenever I read Durno my mind reads Draino….. whenever I read Galiardi, my mind reads Giardia….. weird huh?
I wouldn’t mind calling Durno “Liquid”. Or perhaps Professional Strength, but that’s just too much to type.

He’s gotta stop taking dumb penalties for either of those

Whatever happened to the Surgeon nickname for Duchene, that was awesome the short time we used it.
I call it... The Avaslug!
I am the 1st and probably only official member of the David "Dr." Jones fanclub. Until I get the newsletter out, anyway.

If he happens to be on a line with Dr. Jones...
I know I’ll be begging to get booted for this, but I wanna be the one who came up with calling Yip “Short Round” if that were to ever happen.

and maybe something beer-related in regards to Porter. He desperately needs something. The other guys without nicknames… “Shit Cubed” maybe?

Though it’s been awhile since he’s played in the unipron, so understandable you don’t see it used often.
Also, this nickname may stick around next year, and not because of Clark staying here.

I have no idea what you are talking about, I guess I need to make a pit stop to Timmie’s before my next class…

The title disappeared too
Man, I’m failing all over the place with comments.
Supposed to have the title:
Clark => Mouthpiece.
Also on the Mouthpiece thing, that was my nickname in high school, but for totally different reasons.
My gym teacher lived near me, and heard me uh… getting angry(understatement of the year) during a road hockey game. A 16 yr old nerdy guy cursing like I was, it’s bound to get attention.

All kinds of awesome
I had a few nicknames in high school.
My teachers called me butterfly. I hung out with every group, they found it weird that I would go from art class, to hanging out with the jocks, to fitting in with the nerd and running off the “bad kids”.
One of the other nicknames was ladybug, and I want to get a tiny ladybug tattoo. Only one person called me that and he has since passed away and so it has a ton of meaning to me.
I was also called Collete (from Tales) because I’m super Klutzy.

For the record, and in case anyone asks
I cannot stand ORLY, most especially the lame ass owl pics (like the one(s) I’m sure will be posted below) that always accompany it

I vote for ‘Jolly Green Giant’, he’s even green with envy for good fighters.

Dater tried to start this about a month ago, and the MHH crew unanimously agreed on a ‘NO GO’. The name itself is not political, but it may bring about a political conversation.
Welcome to MHH by the way!
A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her.
actually, it’s the team’s nickname for him. Dater was just the relay-guy

I just hate it
Because it brings to mind Jersey Shore, and that kind of torture is banned by the Geneva Convention.

“There can only be one”
There can be only one! *fixed
We will fight in the mountains. We will fight in the valleys. We will fight on the ice and in the stands. We will never surrender.
Fixed.

We (me and mine) can't be the only ones...
…who, with great affection, call #9 DOUCHE, or the DOUCHER.
Or perhaps we are. But we’re… okay with that.
bumping this up in the middle of the playoffs is probably not the brightest thing I’ve ever done…but I wanted to make sure I didn’t lose it

I was so confused as I started to read the list/comments… like ‘wow, this is crazy deja vu.’
Thanks Joe...
I was confused too :)

me three…and when I figured it out, I sat back and enjoyed the ride
This is our team: underrated, filled with amazingly talented kids and veteran leaders, both young and old, who are buying into the vision of a hard working, fast moving, never-say-die game. They are the 2009-2010 Colorado Avalanche.
Can someone explain
Wilson’s name of Mack or Mack Truck? I must have missed the ship on this one. The first few times I saw it I thought it was for Cody. I am obviously very confused on this one.
"Here's your dream: Matt Duchene, can he do it?... HE CAN! HE DID IT! MATT DUCHENE AND THE AVS ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS!" - Mike Haynes
Have you ever been hit, or ran into a Mack truck? Getting hit by Wilson is supposed to be just like that. In other words he runs people over (or he used to).

Patrick Elias just started seeing spots.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

Elias basically called him that
So I picked it up and ran with it….in an interview, he said, “It felt like I was getting hit by a truck” when describing that big Wilson layed down that sent Elias out on the stretcher. (Elias also said it was absolutely 100% clean)

Two things
The Galiardicus thing has come up.
Someone suggested the CGDS-SoS-Galiardicus line be dubbed the GODDAMN SON of SPARTACUS line. Wasn’t me, and for some reason I still like it.
FWIW
Sandwich puncher since 4/16/2010
Just throwing some out there
I like ‘Bloodbeard’ for Galiardi, personally. As for Sharks players, I’ve taken to calling Doug Murray ‘Swedish Meatball’, Rob Blake ‘Benedict’, and Ryane Clowe ‘Clownfish’. Maybe Foote should be ‘Captain Slow’. (Top Gear reference, anyone?)
Top Gear!
Who doesn’t love the beach ball? Best racecar ever imo

Love Top Gear!
And I like the Captain Slow reference =)
Also, we’ve started calling Porter Brewski thanks to Beachie since this was originally posted.
Proud Soldier in the Burgandy Brigade.
