Helpful Hints

Hey there, I’m Frostee, a.k.a. Emily, the writer of this little blog.  I’ve compiled a list of a few things you might need or want to know while reading.

Nicknames

I have a terrible habit of coming up with nicknames for players.  Some are good, some are bad, and if I’m really feeling uncreative I’ll just copy what everyone else calls them.  These are a few of the more frequently used ones:

Crunchy, Ryan, Boiiifrannn (although this one’s only at games) = Ryan Miller

Alex, Alexander, Ovie = Alex Ovechkin

Michael = Mike Green

Caveman = Jaroslav Spacek

Sasha, Semie = Alexander Semin

J.Po, Pommer, Pommerdoodle, Jason = Jason Pominville

Simeon Toast Crunch (TM Anne) = Simeon Varlamov

Sir Christopher = (TM Anne) = Chris Butler

Princess D = Derek Roy

Sidbits = Sidney Crosby

Nickie B., Nicklas, Lars = Nick Backstrom

Feds = Sergei Fedorov

Pkane, Patty K, Kaner = Patrick Kane

Pkaleta, Patty K = Patrick Kaleta

Geno = Evgeni Malkin

Zachity Zach = Zach Bogosian

Pie, Man Child = Dan Paille

Goose, Paulie = Paul Gaustad

 

I don’t like Sidney Crosby.  I’m sorry.  I do know that I tend to make lists of players I do like:  Favorite Sabres, Favorite Caps, Favorite Non-Sabres, Favorite Russians, and so on and so forth.

I do like Alexander Ovechkin.  A lot.  Please, just don’t send me an email in which you INSIST you are his ABSOLUTE BIGGEST FAN.  Hey, you know what?  I know what shoe size his mother wears.  I’m pathetic, but I also win.

It may seem like I care about the Capitals or Thrashers more than the Sabres, but it’s really just that I’ve loved the Sabres for so long that I don’t really have to show my love every single day.  Also, when they’re sucking I don’t like talking about them.  Just know that I’d rather see them win the Cup.  Not that that’s ever happening.

If you have a question or anything like that, shoot me an email at thefanaticalfan@gmail.com

I also tweet, and if you’re misguided enough to be reading this blog, you might as well follow me on Twitter.  I try to keep my complaining to a minimum.
