Nickname Update
I've disappointed myself for three full months now with my inability to come up with any kind of nickname for Dion Phaneuf (I have no idea if 'Neufy' caught on in the Flames dressing room, nor do I really want to know). However, I was blinded by a flash of inspiration in the aftermath of the Blackhawks game on Monday regarding a different player.
Hockey fans, I give you Kristian "Tommy" Huselius. You're welcome. How do you think he does it? (I don't know...)
- December 27th: Kristian Huselius deliberately banks a shot off of Tomas Vokoun's back, from behind the goal line, to give the Flames a 3-2 lead late in the 2nd period
- January 2nd: Huselius deliberately banks a shot off of the back of Craig Anderson's leg, from behind the goal line, to give the Flames a 2-1 lead in the 2nd period
- December 31st: Huselius fires a shot from the outside top of the circle that banks off of Bergeron's leg, then off of Pronger's leg, and into the net for a 6-5 lead over the Oil with 75 seconds left--it holds up as the game-winner
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

I've been calling the kid by his onomastically correct name--Farnsworth. I think it somehow suits his size and lunkish physiognomy.
I thought for sure you were leaning towards "Banky." And not just because his parents work in a bank.
