PrintI've seen these popping up in more and more comments sections, so I thought I would help everyone out here on the front page. We're gaining more and more new readers every day, which really is a sad statement about society, and seeing as how I'm the one who keeps coming up with new nicknames, I'll spell them all out here:
Toews-Captain Marvel
Kane & Toews on the same line: Daydream Nation (19 and 88)
Sharp-The Sharp-Shooter, or Shooter if you're into the whole brevity thing
Bolland-Fabulous Weapon (it's an Eagles of Death Metal reference)
Havlat-JHC, for Jesus Havlat Christ, or sometimes Martylark, but not so much these days.
Ladd-Used to be Nails, have changed it to Mountain in The Indian, but feel free to use either.
Byfuglien-It was fuckwad during the season, we've reverted to Buff now
Versteeg-VERSTEEG!, or VerStud, or Steeger
Brouwer-ohymgod ohmygod ohmygod ohshit! (Okay, we haven't used that one yet, but that's his thought process during any scoring chance)
Campbell-51 Phantom, but you can go with Soupy if you want
Seabrook-Biscuit, or Seabs
Hjalmarsson-used to be Hammer, now we've added Super Nintendo Jalmers.
Walker-Big Country, or the worst expletive you can think of.
that's all of them now, I think

a lot of us also refer to Walker as "Ralph"
and some people refer to Eager as “Sunshine”
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
I'm jumping onboard the Hawks bandwagon
B’s are out now and I need a team to stay interested. I’m going with the Blackhawks. The B’s and Hawks are eerily similar and our fan bases have suffered through similar hardships.

Traitor.
I loved Cheli. Key word, loved

"What a farce." - Dale Tallon
To add...
You know when the older generation of Hawk fans refer to the trade of Bobby Hull as a dark day/time/period. Mine was the trading of Denis Savard for Chelios.
Now, I completely understand that it was good trade in the hockey sense. But that was a dark day for me. It took a while for me to warm up to Chelios, simply because he replaced one of my idols. I would compare it to how some 6,7,8 year old kids are probably looking at Kaner nowadays. And eventually, I did grow to love what Cheli did for the early/mid 90s Hawk teams.
But when he because a member of the freakin’ Scum. That was it. Period. Dead to me.

Okay, major triple post foul, my apologies...
“because” should be “became”…sorry guys.

Hull wasn't traded
He got a metric buttload of money to go to the WHA. A dark day nonetheless.
I stopped playing my Bobby Hull Slap Shot Hockey game after that.

I’m reading a great book about the WHA right now called “The Rebel League”. If you liked the movie Slapshot, you’ll love this book. Lots of great stories that the movie was based on.

I read that a few years ago. It’s a good read.

you forgot
Badger for Burish….I know Seabrook is called Biscuit but I’m not sure I ever saw why or how he came about that moniker.
I figured
that was probably it but thought it may have something to do with the puck often being referred to as a ‘biscuit"…put the biscuit in the basket which wouldn’t make much sense for someone who scores fewer than 10 goals a year.

Super Nintendo?
How did Hammer get that one? “Fabulous Weapon” is a great one for Bolland. Remember that post where that guy said that he and his friends call him Dave “Party” Bolland? I thought that was a great one too. It so great because it makes zero sense.
The Super Nintendo
Is from an episode of the Simpsons, Ralph calls superintendent Chalmers Super Nintendo Chalmers, which sounds close enough to Hjalmarsson
wait what?
On a related note, that same Ralph
Was the inspiration for Walker’s name, and there is a good photoshop to go with it
wait what?
-1 for lack of Simpsons knowledge
As I’m writing, Pepe explained it
My goal? World domination.

Buff
During the season, we called him Baby Huey in my circle – all bulk and no mean streak. We may have to drop it, but the jury is still out.
As a side note
When did metal make a comeback and why was I not informed?
It appears I have to get some CDs, especially Mastodon.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Bolland has become “Patrick,” since John Buccigross, who claims to be a huge hockey fan, referred to him as “Patrick Bolland” on Sportscenter earlier this month.
Metal didn’t make a comeback – it never left.
It went underground
when the likes of Pearl Jam and Nirvana came along. I’m so out of touch.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just be a horrible warning
Hjalphabet?
I’ve heard Hammer called that a few times.
Huet as Lindsey Lohan?
Can’t we come up with something for Eager? That guy’s such a badass, he deserves something.
I still like
’Frenchy Five-Hole" for Huet.

haha
my brother and I have called him the French Five Hole most of the season

my own nicknames
i personally call ben eager ‘teddy bear eager.’ Brian Campbell on blackhawkstv has also made that reference, because of how ridiculous he looks with that big blond beard.
the boys over at fifth feather named Hjalmarsson ‘ham sandwich’. I like that a lot.
I feel like any line Brouwer is on should be called the fail train.
Eager
went to a Catholic high school in Ottawa whose school mascot was a St. Bernard named…wait for it…Bernie Mac. So you could go simple with some variation there.
or Eager sounds like it might be a German surname so you could go with something involving DAS…like Das Druck which would equal “the hit and run” I believe.
or something involving
Strafe = penalty
Strafbank = penalty box
faustkampf = fistfight
probably too confusing with those though.

Brouwer?
Can we call him “Almost Famous”? Or something along those lines?
BROUWER POWER
Is what we use over at Hockeenight when Troy lays the lumber on somebody or (god forbid) scores a goal. Also started as part of a Simpson’s reference, as in the classic Mr. Burns line:
“Your Flower Power is no match for my BROUWER POWER”.
HOCKEENIGHT.COM
Given the trend of Hawks nicknames...
With Kaner, Tazer, etc., I’ve spent much of the season calling Brouwer “Brouwerer.”
Not that it should need explaining at this point...
but there is also “Glamorous” Kris Versteeg. I’m calling it now, Versteeg is going to wreck Detroit’s shit all series long.
Not happy about the Blackhawks focus right now.
Not sure how many of you are on twitter, but I just saw reports that the guys are out at another concert tonight. Reports from all their practices make it sound like the team is really laid back and little too cocky. Way too much talk about how “fun” this series is going to be.
that's what she said
The springsteen concert isn't the problem
The fact that they were all boozing on a rooftop Thursday during the Cubs game, then out again last night at another concert boozing, is the issue. I’m all for them celebrating how far they’ve come, but I think going on a three day bender right before the biggest series of their careers (excluding the guys who’ve won Cups) doesn’t scream “we’re focused on winning.”
This series is David vs Goliath and right now David’s acting like Goliath is only 6’2, 185lbs.
that's what she said
They're doing their work
I’ve read in the paper that they’ve had practices and meetings and stuff. Besides, they can’t spend ALL their time worrying about the Red Wings. That’s not any better than if they weren’t preparing at all. They just spent three weeks eating, sleeping, and breathing hockey. They need to be allowed to relax and think about something else for a bit.

may we forever know “VERSTEEG!!!” as “J.R.-2: Electric Boogaloo”? Or a shortened version there of?
I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that the kind gent from Saskatchewan that shares a number with “Stumpy” is getting Biblical with our favorite Mouth Piece Sports reporter.
I digress out of jealousy and being stuck in the hockey gulag that is the (816).
MPS, if im our of line on this assumption, come th Big XII country and we’ll have a proper duel.
Your terms.
Pistols or Sabres(pre1996, preferably)
I demand satisfaction!!!
fuck it all, no regrets!!!
Grienke is our new Shogun!!!
Here is a list of some positive and not so positive nicknames.
(All of the derogatory names are usually preceeded by the adjective *F**king")
Patrick Kane Kaner, or Patty Cake
Jonathan Toews Tazer or Toes. Playoff beard version, Wolverine or Elvis
Pat Versteeg Steeger or Verstink
Martin Havlat Havi or Havnot
Christobal Huet Suet (Pig call with a french accent)
Dustin Byfuglien During most of the regular season something similar to the previous mentioned f***wad. Right now it’s Big Buff or just plain Buff.
Brian Campbell Soups or Dumbell
Ben Eager Big Ben or Ben Meager
Also, I’d like to add No Check Olczyk for our color commentator.

Don't shoot ...
Treading on enemy ground here; been reading for a while and figure this (hopefully) epic matchup makes for a good time to drop in. Hawks fans or not, you’ve got a good thing here. “Jesus Havlat Christ” is hilarious by the way.

Gentle Ben
My friend and I like the Ben Hogan nickname for eager but sunshine is damn good. On another note the party dave for bolland is to good. I can’t take credit for it but whover tried to get that as his nickname on this website earlier in the year I thank you. After the big goal against the canucks in game 5 we joked that Toews told party dave thre was strippers and a keg hiding in the canucks net.
