Poll Question:
Taking my inspiration from a featured article on NHL.com, I want to know, who had the best ever NHL nickname? Moderators are invited to edit the poll if I missed a big one.

EDIT: Can all the members who look at this join the PickUpHockey Cyber Cup? It only will take two minutes, I am trying to get participation from all the active members. All you need to do for now is read the intro and tell me you will join. Time is of the essence. Thanks guys, I know I can count on you
This is the link:

Choices:
The Great One - Gretzky
Mr. Hockey - Howe
The Flower - Lafleur
The Rocket - Richard
Super Mario - Lemieux
The Golden Jet - Hull
Big Bird - Robinson
Other (who?)

I always thought Lorne "Gump" Worsley was a good one.

From Wikipedia:
he was given his nickname due to friends deciding he looked like comic-strip character Andy Gump.

You just gotta love the Gumper! I have that card too.

Another great one from the past - Johnny "PIEFACE" McKenzie!

I always like Rod "the secretary of defence" Langway.

I'll try and remember some others.

"Terrible Ted" I liked too.
