haha i like this
This is pretty cool. I love all the nicknames for the players. My favorites have to be Hudler, Hossa and Holmstrom, with Conklin’s up there as well.

I like knowing them too!!
My favorites are Helm (Helmer) and Maltby (Malts).
Most unoriginal – Lidstrom (Swede).

Are you sure about all of these nicknames?
I thought Pavel Datsyuk’s nickname was “Pasha” or “The Wizard.” I also though Henrik Zetterberg’s nickname was “Zorro,” or “Z” for short. And I’ve never heard Jiri Hudler called anything other than “Happy Hudler.”
Good video from Detroit Free Press
I will post it in Fanshots as they don’t provide a URL but do allow you to embed the video.
And Zetterberg apparently goes by Z or Hank.

Filppula = Fill-a-pool
During the Game 3, post game press conference, I thought I heard Babcock refer to Filppula as “Fill-a-pool.” I listened to it a couple of times and I am 100% certain thats what he said.
