The Hockey Chronicle-isms
Middle Aged Man Twins (MAMTs): There are a few scary similarities of the dynamics between Joe B and Locker and the Chronicle Writers; therefore, they are our twins
Sod Farm Trolls: What we like to call the Staal brothers to annoy our Penguins-loving , Staal-obsessed friend
Bourque’d: When you get traded to another team and then traded back to the original team (i.e. Chris Bourque, Milan Jurcina)
Neuvy Face: When someone is always making pained or awkward faces in photos. Named after the constantly “sorry about my face”-ed goalie, Michal Neuvirth. It is similiar to Bouchard face, but less ridiculous
Any suggestions? Feel free to leave a comment!
ohhh these are good. What about another one for our newest Cap? Kit n Knuble. 😀
That’s a good one! I’ve been calling him knoodling knuble so far but I like that much more -Meghan
Ha! I love your nicknames for Jose Stinkadore! Another one you could also use for Eric Fehr is Fehric. I think I heard someone use that once at a Bears game and I loved it so it became part of my vernacular.
That is beyond adorable! Definatly going to use Fehric too
I love the Satan’s city ones. Laich should be be called Ladies Man. Have you seen the caps video where they interview the team about who’s the biggest ladies man? I bet you have…… its hilarious!
