  • The nickname

    The question posted to some of the Habs was "If you could pick your own nickname what would it be?"

    I thought their answers were pretty funny...but it would be so out of character for me to not give my own names for them.  (I've embedded the video at the end of the post).

    Player Self-Proclaimed Nickname Cokeaddict Dubbed Nickname
    Alex Auld Nothing, because "self-proclaimed nicknames are always bad" Baldy Auldy
    Jaroslav Spacek Spacho Man

    Thanks, Cammy. I liked it so much, I stole it.
    Alexander Picard Pic 

    Captain Picard, Make it so! 

    But seeing as how you're not very good at making it so, how about just setting a course out of Montreal at Warp 6? Engage.

    And you have to yell it like that too!  Otherwise it doesn't count. 
    Josh Gorges  Jorge (pronounced Hor-hey) 

    You know what...since none of the guys will call him Jorge, I will.
    Benoit Pouliot 

    Le Poulet 

    Pretty accurate considering the way he chickened out of talking to the media after the Habs were eliminated from the playoffs.

    Chickenboy 

    Which is also pretty accurate...cuz he's playing chicken with the media, and he's acting like a child.

     Oh...and if we need to discuss *my* nickname, you can always read about how I got it.
