Cheesy Rebound: Borrowed from this video, refers to a shot set up for the purpose of providing a rebound.
The shot from the blue line didn’t make it past the goalie, but it provided the cheesy rebound that they scored on.

Baby T: The nickname of Marty Turco’s backup goalie, Tobias Stephan, which he earned by showing some very Turco-like qualities. These include his genuine appreciation of fans, willingness to play the puck, and more agile goaltending style.

Bunny: Nickname of Swedish rookie Fabian Brunnstrom. Despite coming out of a clumsy incident, the term quickly became one of affection.

Flop-isode: An incident derived from a player’s inability to skate, leading to continual clumsiness and flopping around on the ice.
He tried to stand up, fell, and fell again! What a flop-isode that was.

IV-Carrier: A term coined after watching Fabian Brunnstrom’s poor performance in the preseason, refers to a player who is having so little positive impact that the others on his line would be better off doing all the work, with said player following behind with IVs.
If he has one more giveaway, I’m declaring him the night’s IV-Carrier.

Louibot: Nickname of Loui Eriksson, after he revealed himself to be an evil robot in pictures of their practice

Playoof: A year for a team when making it to the playoffs is not even considered a realistic goal.
After a three-month losing streak, the team looks to finish up another playoof year.

Puckyhug: Constant and consistent covering of the puck by a goaltender. Stems from the tendency that Detroit goaltender Chris Osgood has of treating the puck like his own personal teddy bear.
Their goalie has covered every time they take a shot! Talk about overdoing it with the puckyhugs.

Really Richards: Nickname of Brad Richards, because just about everything he does when he gets the puck makes us go “Really?” – and not always in a good way. 

Skate-By: When a player goes to collect the puck and skates right by it, typically allowing the other team to gain possession.
Instead of taking possession, he had a major skate-by, and the other team benefitted from his mistake.

Superhero Defense: Referring to some super defensive pairings by their superhero names. Robidas-Daley = Iron Man-Flash. Grossman-Fistric = Hulk-Juggernaut. Niskanen-Sydor = Underdog-Banshee

Turco Takey: When Marty Turco leaves the net to steal the puck from the opposing team, who are attempting to chase it into the defensive zone.
They thought they’d dump the puck, but they weren’t expecting a Turco Takey to send it back at them!

Ziplining: Refers to a defenseman’s ability to appear anywhere on the blue line to stop the puck and hold it in the offensive zone – pertaining particularly to Stephane Robidas.
He’s so good at ziplining, you’d think he was teleporting along the blue line.
