Also isn't that Mark Messier's nickname? Jus my opinion, but having/using the nickname of one of the greatest players of all time, is pretty lame. I'll probably get a lot of hate about that opinion but I couldn't imagine another player calligraphy themselves "The great one" or "Mr Hockey" etc etc

This post is terrible...
