Two kids and a goat [Pavel Datsyuk in his first year, Boyd Devereaux in his 2nd, and Brett Hull near the end of his career]

Martin Biron is "Gaston".

Guy Lafleur was also "Le démon blond"

Even coaches have nicknames like "Grapes" and George "Punch" Imlach.

LaFleur was also "The Flower".

I think we should pass on that nickname to Semin.

Eric Nesterenko... "Swoop "

Beauty.

Alexander "Slappy" Semin...?

...ok, I made that one up just now.

Can we make it official?

Frankie 'Zero' Brimsek

Walter 'Turk' Broda

Georges 'Cucumber' Vezina

Nels 'Poison' Stewart

Lester 'The Silver Fox' Patrick

Hector 'Toe' Blake

Jason 'Tits' Spezza

Then there are hockey names that go the other way... I have it on good authority that there are still large parts of eastern North America where a Brazilian is called a 'Bobby Orr,' and not just because of the way he taped his stick.
