I've always called Selanne Salami, sometimes when I'm talking about him I say it without even noticing
what do Calgary and a tea bag have in common- they're both only good for one cup |

I'm starting to call Fleury "Marc-Andre-Ronald Fleury." Anyone seen The Kingdom? The main character's name is Ronald Fleury. Whenever I hear someone in the movie say "Agent Fleury" I think of the Penguins' goalie, LOL!

Two of my all-time favorite players:
Terry "Bloody" O'Reilly
and
John "The Greasy Jet" Tonelli
I was not an Islander fan but I absolutely loved Tonelli. I don't know where it came from but for some reason I also remember him being referred to as the "Porcupine". Also, for O'Reilly I seem to recall the "Tazmanian Devil". Anyone else recall those names? Or maybe those were just the nicknames my buddies and I came up with for them, I don't remember. |

Okay, checked it. O'Reilly was the Tazmanian Devil. See below.
http://www.nshl.com/teams/oreilly.html
Not sure about Tonelli being the Porcupine though. Maybe he just reminded me of a porcupine for some reason. He was like a needle in everyone's face. Anyway, older guys out there, was Tonelli a tremendous workhorse of a guy or what? Had some talent too. Made the nice pass to Nystrom for the overtime goal that started the Isles Dynasty. And what a battler in the corners! Ahhh, I miss those old-time guys a bit.
Oh, and the 1984 Canada Cup MVP? None other than the Porcupine (a.k.a. "The Greasy Jet") |

Is it just me or would "the greasy jet" be considered not p.c. these days?
