I also recall Dale HATING that name too.
The players and some sportswriters called Randy Carlyle "Kitty".
Bobby Hull was of course, The Golden Jet.
Teemu "The Finnish Flash" Selanne
Keith "Tckaptain Tcrunch" Tkachuk (before we found out he was a concieted jerk...)
Cronin The Barbarian (Shawn Cronin)
Ed "Saturday Night" Stanowski
Joe "The Holy Goalie" Daley
We also had 3 lines with nicknames as well:
The Luxury Line (Hull, Borderleau, Beaudin)
The Hot Line (Hull Hedberg, Nilson)
Tre Kronor aka The Sweedish Triple Crown Line (Steen Lundholm and Lindstrom)

You forgot the "Rookie Line" of 1992-1993

If they had a name but "Jet Line" of the 1980's
Brian Mullen, Dale Hawerchuk and Paul Maclean

Does anyone recall Teppo Numminen being nicknamed called Tempo?
I guess the reference to the name would of been he brought some Tempo to the game.

There was a banner on the North end that read, "Teppo set the Tempo" if memory serves.

How about Jimmy Kite's nickname ---
"Radio Shack"
(I believe he was given that name by Dave Babich)
Kinda cruel, since it referred to his hearing aid -- but if taken in a light hearted way it was kind of funny
