Doohickie Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) When posting about "Mike" Grigorenko, think about abbreviating his name "Grigo" instead of "Grigs" so that it's easier to distinguish his name from "Girgs" (Girgensons). Also, if you fat-finger the "ri" and type "ir" by mistake, it'll be easier to determine that the true intent was Grigo. Does that make sense?

Until and unless a player's "official" nickname is known (what he's called in the lockerroom), how bout we stop trying to use cute fansie nicknames for these guys and just use, ya know, their name?

Some of these guys have hard to spell names. Especially the French guys. We need to give Deslsuriersesa a nickname like yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak for everyone but my motivation for abbreviation is 100% laziness. Not trying to be fansie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say screw nicknames all together, that and initials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'd say go the Paul Hamilton route and refer to the guys by their numbers, but the days are long gone when I could do that with any proficiency. I'd say screw nicknames all together, that and initials. I've eschewed the nickname technique for all but GM TM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally like using Zemgus for Girgensons because it really stands out I'd say screw nicknames all together, that and initials. While I don't disagree I think because of the nature of the internet people will always abbreviate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
