Hockey players and coaches like to use nick names.  Simple things like adding “ie” or “sie”  or “s” or “y” to a part of their name.  It a hockey cultural thing starting in youth hockey   

Tuch - Tuchie

Cozens - Cuzzy 

Dahlin - Dahls

Per Granato's presser today post-practice: Samuelsson skated today, could join practice tomorrow and is a possibility to return to the lineup soon.
