Taylor Hall = TayTay Ryan Nugent-Hopkins = The Nuge Steven Stamkos = Stammer Nail Yakupov = Yak City, Bitch. Yak, Yak City. Most of the others are just adding something to a last name.

Pornographic Memory posted:Reading the Donald Sterling thread in SAS got me wondering, since he's having such a big impact on his sports team, are there any NHL team owners who, for good or bad, are particularly noteworthy? Jeremy Jacobs (Boston Bruins): Scrooge McDuck. Rich as hell, hates concession employees and all other poors, has a long-standing feud with the community he lives in in Florida over land and the development of a show-horse track or something which he has made a long-standing family affair. His sons are as bad as he is. But he looks like a lich. Eugene Melnyk (Ottawa Senators): Previously sanctioned by the SEC or something, he is a billionaire with a getaway in Barbados who claims the Sens (a Canadian franchise aka money printing machine) costs him millions of dollars a year. Thus he will not shell out to maintain players, such as long-time fan-favourite captain Daniel Alfredsson who left over salary disputes, nor does anyone expect him to spend any money on free-agents. Also widely believed to interfere in GM and coaching decisions in the org. He also allegedly hired forensic investigators to investigate the incident where Matt Cooke severed Sens franchise defenseman Erik Karlsson's achilles tendon on what basically everyone considers to be a routine-hockey-play-gone-wrong. Crackpot rear end in a top hat. Charles Wang (New York Islanders): Dumbass who told Jay Z and his development team to get bent when they asked him about building the Brooklyn Barclay's Centre for a hockey team, then decided to move the Islanders to Brooklyn anyways now that the Barclay's Centre has poo poo sight-lines for hockey. Overall dumbass. Francesco Aquilini (Vancouver Canucks): Believed to have interfered in GM/coaching decisions leading to the Cody Hodgson trade, as well as the hilarious debacle that saw Vancouver go from a Luongo/Schneider goalie tandem to a Lack/Markstrom tandem. It was believed Schneider was set to take the #1 starter duties, but they hosed around in the media and then traded Schneider to the Devils (where the Devils hosed with his expected starter position by giving aging Brodeur a large amount of starts). They traded Luongo at the deadline this year, to Florida (his old team before Vancouver), and now have a rookie and an unproven goalie as their #1 and #2. Also, 2nd line centre Ryan Kesler has startes speaking out and is rumoured to want out of the org.
