I think he did that in Buffalo too

But its a name we know!

And its a signing........

Lindy referred to him as "Patches", right? And if I recall, coach asked if he ever skated at forward and he replied "yes" despite not having done so to dress for a game.

Wasn't Patches Nathan Paetsch?

I’m fairly certain Pysyk’s nickname was pisser.

What's that stand for?

team relative plus/minus

==============================================================
DAL even strength goal differential through 56 games = 5
DAL even strength minutes played through 56 games = 2898.88
exp+/- is a function of %min played at ES and team ES goal diff
TRpm(team relative +/-) is the diff btwn actual+/- and exp+/-
%min is % of ES minutes played
==============================================================
Team  Player                   TRpm    GP    +/-  exp+/-  %min
DAL Mark Pysyk                 5.33    36     6    0.67   13.4

So, you're telling me that his actual + / - was better than his TRpm.

Very interesting.

It was named on an Opposite Day and just stuck, maybe?

Just a bit, since the team had a positive ES goal differential.

The rest of the team...

No, named just right.

Pysyk, 29, enjoyed playing forward. He recorded his first NHL hat trick and scored a career-high nine goals. His teammates nicknamed him “Prius” for his hybrid role. After signing with the Dallas Stars last season, he kept moving up front.

Nice article, he sounds really upbeat and positive

I assume that you're not referring to acorn ... but the other, unfortunate one.

[nfreeman]

Oh goody.  The Prius of NHL defensemen.

Eichel = Eikel 

German to dutch, both same meanings apply 😄

[Huckleberry]

back in the day I would have signed up for a long term 3HD in Pysyk, and I still do.
