A modest proposal

[Doohicksie]

When posting about "Mike" Grigorenko, think about abbreviating his name "Grigo" instead of "Grigs" so that it's easier to distinguish his name from "Girgs" (Girgensons).  Also, if you fat-finger the "ri" and type "ir" by mistake, it'll be easier to determine that the true intent was Grigo.

 

Does that make sense?

Until and unless a player's "official" nickname is known (what he's called in the lockerroom), how bout we stop trying to use cute fansie nicknames for these guys and just use, ya know, their name?

Some of these guys have hard to spell names. Especially the French guys. We need to give Deslsuriersesa a nickname like yesterday.

Can't speak for everyone but my motivation for abbreviation is 100% laziness. Not trying to be fansie.

I'd say screw nicknames all together, that and initials.

I'd say go the Paul Hamilton route and refer to the guys by their numbers, but the days are long gone when I could do that with any proficiency.

I've eschewed the nickname technique for all but GM TM.

Right. Remember that 59-84-20 line from this season.

I personally like using Zemgus for Girgensons because it really stands out

While I don't disagree I think because of the nature of the internet people will always abbreviate.

I do like Gus, and I think that's what they call him

[shrader]

At least that suggested nickname of oreo never took off with Grigorenko.

Yep.

For SEO purposes, please spell the first and last names, correctly and in full, with a little supporting text like "Buffalo Sabres Center Zemgus Girgensons"... Do this every time.

 

Thanks. :thumbsup:  ;)

He needs to watch far more than his hand.  That's not the heimlich maneuver he's giving there.

My hugs are legendary.  

[Doohicksie]

Maybe we need to just initialize a committee to standardize and publish the official SabreSpace style guide. ;)

[inkman]

My mouth hugs are legendary.

Fixed :)

[ubkev]

Fixed :)

No one touched this all day, seriously? Nice work ink. I laughed.

[JJFIVEOH]

How about we just spell everything out so we all know where everybody is coming from? Does it take that much more time? I literally SWMT reading posts where somebody uses ATN can figure out. INBATRWIA!! LOL

I miss the pominstein filter.  We need a modern version of that.

I thought it would be gratuitous to touch it... again
