Nickname poll


Posted at 11:01 am by Nick Patterson

I received several suggestions on nicknames for Everett's line containing 17-year-old rookies Kellan Tochkin, Byron Froese and Tyler Maxwell, so it's time to vote. A couple of things first:

- I changed the suggestion of the Line From All Over to the Frequent Flyer Line. That's a little less cumbersome for someone who will potentially have to type it on multiple occasions.

- I added another idea of my own: the NC-17 Line. Something to the effect of no containing the 17-year-olds. Should the line ever be reconstituted in future seasons tat nickname would have to go. But hey, they may be split up tomorrow for all we know.

- I left the default Kid Line suggestion at the top of the list so that those of you who object to this process don't have to wade through the other suggestions. The rest are in alphabetical order.

- And strictly for Jon Rosen's benefit (who feels I'm infringing on his turf), I turned off the function that limits people to one vote. I've got a feeling that was a really bad idea, but I am curious to see what happens. As they say in politics, "vote early and vote often."

So, without further ado:

Write-in suggestion
Unfortunately I didn't make an option for write-in candidates on the poll. Al Treacy e-mailed the following write-in suggestion:

"How about the "Tips Team Trio" or otherwise known as the "Triple T Threat" (TTT)?"

If you like this one leave a vote either under this message or in the comments section in the poll and I'll tabulate those numbers separately.
