He's clearly wasted, so the nicknames don't make much sense. But in hockey, there is a system so simple that even a drunken former star of Saturday Night Live could master it. Consult the official AHF template provided below as a guide, and make hockey nicknames for you and all your friends:
Martin St. Louis = Marty
Rod Brind'Amour = Roddy
Patrick Marleau = Patty
Or, you can switch it up and use last names:
Brendan Shanahan = Shanny
Colin White = Whitey
Daniel Alfredsson = Alfie
The only known exception is Scott. No matter what your last name is, you're Scotty. End of discussion.
Anyway, this system is damn near foolproof, and has stood the test of time since the days of Gordon Howe (you probably know him as "Gordie"). There's just one problem...the Kings' new goalie.
Not a lot of great options there.

Buffalo Sabres Defenseman Brian Campbell = Soupie.
Check and mate, Duncan.
Also in the grocery category:
San Joes Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic = Pickles
If you want to go all cute and Japanese, you can call him Taka-Chan.
Just sayin'.
yeah Taka-chan may be a wee bit too cute though.
well, Fukufuji...maybe "the Mountain", since he's a goalie and mountains are difficult to get by...and Fuji is a big mountain.
ok lame maybe....I was just thinking along the lines of the "Bhulin Wall"
I thought "Pickles" is fairly erudite for dudes who've had their heads punded into glass for so long.
And my only thought for Fukufuji (non-vulgar) was Mount Fuji. Or Fuji-la, as in Lauryn Hill and the gang. Maybe Fuji Apple if we wanna keep up the produce names.
