Andy, I meant to mention that to you -- I didn't know until after the post-games all game out that you and Kris had an arrangement. You, sir, saved his season. Well done.

Baroque, Eaves is due. Not that what he's doing isn't appreciated, because he's a stud. But, he's buzzing. Anybody who calls the goal-scorer gets full credit from me.

Tiberius works – glad to see someone else using it.

I call Eaves with a goal, because he's been working so hard – and I think it's time Helm scored another and made Turco look stupid, too. 🙂

I've written James Tiberius Howard several times during the last months without thinking, then noticed it and deleted it, but if it's free for us all to use I will use it.

I'll call a Bertuzzi goal and share the blame with JJ. After all you all kinda owe me for Nick's goal

I'm going with Cleary for a goal. And Tiberius (or Tibby for short) will henceforth be his nickname. Which I mentioned in my WIM post

Ok, I'll still call him JIMMAH when he makes a great save, but Tiberius when talking about him between games or when referring to him in his sense of his growing leadership as a goalie for this team.

I'd like to call anybody else, but I don't think any of the Wings need a goal as badly as Bert does. I don't want him losing his confidence and bringing his linemates down agaain. It hasn't happened yet, but the post he hit last game got me worried.

How about Eaves? He's been working hard and could certainly use one.

I certainly don't want to REPLACE Jimmah. That's way too awesome a nickname to give up.

I have an ideological problem with calling Bertuzzi goal, but any other claim and you'd have a partner in crime in me.

I'll try to start calling him Tiberius, but I'm still used to calling him JIMMAH from his early games this season when he flopped around like a spaz. That one's carried him from derision to pride.

Anybody willing to share some blame with me today for calling Bertuzzi with a goal?

I hope Tiberius sticks. It just sort of happened one day here at TPL, and it took off. Feel free to help me spread the word. HA
