NHL players no longer have the imagination to give interesting nicknames. They add either an 's' 'er' or 'ie' to the first syllable of the last name, and call it a day.
Backs
Monie
Colby
Tangs
Grats
I don't know what Smid's nickname is, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess 'Smids' or 'Smidder'.
Whatever happened to nicknames that came out of a person's characteristics, or a funny incident?
Killer
Gump
Tiger
Mad Dog
Moose
The Hammer
Cujo
The Golden Jet
The Rocket
