A glimpse at naming brilliance.
The NHL season is fast approaching, and in fact, the beginning is only 8 days away. This, of course, means that teams have to start paring their rosters, which meant that some players had to be sent to Houston to start the year. The real story in this is that Houston is going to be stacked with some awesome names. Let's review in a list countdown type of format, the best names Houston will be seeing.
7. D Maxim Noreau: A little bit Russian in the first name, a lot bit French Canadian in the last.
6. D Frederic St. Denis: Wow. That really sounds like a good, athletic name doesn't it? Of course, there is a precedent for sanctified names in the NHL, with Martin St. Louis doing all right for himself.
5. F Morten Madsen: Who names their kid Mort? Seriously! That's so awesome that I can't even begin to talk about it.
4. G Barry Brust: See above. It was either patent attorney or computer programmer for Barry here. He took what was behind door number three. I just find the name Barry on anyone younger than about 45 to be absolutely hilarious.
3. D Clayton Stoner: People pointed to this name last year and said Ha! it's a marijuana joke! But because he's old news and the fact that there are two ethereal names joining the Aeros this year, Stoner drops like a rock. Ha!
2. F Moises Gutierrez: This just sounds like a name that any baseball sim would have come up with in season 34 in dynasty mode. There's no way this could possibly be a real name. Or so I would think, if it wasn't for the fact that he's playing in Houston this year.
1. F Cal Clutterbuck: Oh. Oh my. I...uh... Oh boy. This is definitely going to be a name that leads to Dan Terhaar's eventual suspension, I suspect. By the way, Cal looks rather upset by the fact that his name is Cal Clutterbuck. You've got to be proud to be Cal Clutterbuck, Cal Clutterbuck. The name doesn't get old.

I adore this post. Good to know the future of hockey is stocked with such great names! Of course, there's no one quite like Mikko Koivu!
