Default Best of strange names of NHL players.

Couple of conditions, they must have a strange or interesting name and they must have played at least 1 game in the NHL.

I'll get it started.

Morris TITANIC. Selected in the first round, 12 overall by the Buffalo Sabres. Played 19 games for the Sabres in 74/75 season. No goals, no assists, no points and no penalty minutes in those 19 games.

Not an NHLer, but I always liked the Brandon-born, Wheaton King, who played for the Brandon Wheat Kings about a decade ago.

I used to enjoy Victor Fasth and Jonathan Quick battle each other, when Kings and Ducks would play.

I also do like the name Backlund. Lund in Punjabi/Hindi/Urdu translated to English is Penis (I thought this would be a censored word, guess not). Combining it with Back is worth a giggle.

it's like German soccer club Wolfsburg which once had a head coach named Wolfgang Wolf. Some things are just meant to be.
