Nicknames are fun... We need to start assigning nicknames for our boys.Those whom we don't have solid nicknames for. Here is a partial list of the names that have stuck. There may be some already in use, that I am not privy to.

Miller = Miller time
Campbell = Soupy
Kalinin= Tree (Tri)
Connolly= Timmah
Gaustad= Goose
Dumont= JP ( decent, even tho it is his name)
Peters= Scratch
Numminen= Kramer

The worst has to been Daniel "Pailliesie" Paille. That's a Cunneyworth Special, as is Millsy.

I'd like to come up with a nasty nickname for the OLN network play-by-play crew but I'm not witty enough. Reading their comments from the game at other Sabre fansite forums pisses me off royally.

Soupcan? Ugh. I'd rather see them try to get Jillson's game in order (or deal him) than see more of the Soup 'n' Sandwich act.

Ditto. He's a follower and it seems Gaustad brings it out more than anyone else he's been paired with. Now to only get Mair (or Thorbs --shameless plug for the rest of the thread) out there with 'em to really start rattling the boards.

Not really a nickname, but I can see after scoring the game winner in OT Headline on TBN sports page "HELLO NUMMINEN!" ala Seinfeld

Insert a healthy Mair, and package Pyatt up with Biron (we can give this package the nickname "Boy Band") to see if we can get another defenseman in here. Why not? Thorburn and/or Paille will be ready shortly.

Thorburn and Goose together would be nice.

You'll need some lumber. ;)

I think he stays around, I just don't see him getting much icetime until after the Sabres get pushed around by someone.

I think he stays around, I just don't see him getting much icetime until after the Sabres get pushed around by someone.Yeah, but then it's too late. His skating is actually an asset, and I keep remembering his play in camp with Mancari and Hunter. I was actually thinking it was passable. Even though he makes mistakes every now and then, I say you dress him for those division games (and maybe more if he looks good), roll him out once a period, and maybe even plop him in front of the cage on the PP and let the 4 perimeter guys set it up. It was nice to see Gaustad get rewarded with some PP time tonight, maybe employ Andro the same way from time to time. It's not like he's McMorrow out there. :)

I can't take "Sexiest Men" lists very seriously.

Ever since Mike Ricci was voted the Sexiest man in Denver.

Thomas will have to earn this one eventually, but I given his NCAA history, Thomas "Big Goal" Vanek has a nice ring to it...
