The Blackhawks come up with terrible nicknames, unless Trevor van Riemsdyk is involved

The Chicago Blackhawks love their nicknames, but you’d be hard pressed to find any that could be considered great.

The longtimers, Kaner, Tazer, Seabs, Hammer, Krugs, Hoss, they’re all basically just each dude’s name, but just changed very slightly. There’s Bread Man, which is because Panarin kinda sorta sounds like Panera, and they sell bread, and, well, sure, bread is delicious if you can handle the carbs. Campbell is Soupy because Campbell’s sells soup, which is basically the same origin story as Bread Man but done with Tobey McGuire instead of Andrew Garfield.

But then Mark Lazerus got some quotes from Trevor van Riemsdyk that uncovered the Blackhawks’ new nickname king.
