If Cyclone Taylor was playing today he'd be called "Fred Taylor" and his nickname would be "Tays". Newsy Lalonde would be called "Ed Lalonde" and his nickname would be either "Lalsy" or "Edsy".
Has anyone had a good nickname since Ken Linseman?

Ya, it's a sign of the times. At one time you had "Babe" Pratt and "Babe" Seibert.
If, say, Aeneas were to address Andre Roy as "Babe", he is going to get pummeled within an inch of his life...or at least that's what happened last time he tried that.
