The Cannon reference goes back to 2007 when an HF member entitled a thread "Mike Richards is Cannon." The bewilderment subsided when slang attached to the word was complimentary and it took on a life of its own.

and i want to be able to do that with my grandkid
"Once upon a time there was a Cannon, A Carbomb, A Caveman, A Cookie Monster, A Fang, A Beaver & A Noodle. And they were lead to lord stanleys cup by "lavi the rage". And to help them get there they had Zed, Reamer & Roo."

It's a good thing I like Briere and think he works hard (scoring a lot helps), because otherwise his defensive play would make me want to Randy Jones him.
