S75 draft has worst player names ever?

[Victor 9,737]

The art of picking a player name is a difficult one. You want it to be something you won't get bored by, which sounds good and looks good. The traditionalist in me always prefers good hockey names but that's not essential – I did after all also bring in Greg Clegane and Podrick Cast. What you really want is something you look at which does not give you a brain tumour. A couple funky names are always welcome, although ideally not a whole draft of them.
 

Which brings us to the S75 draft....

 

…
 

…
 

What the actual fuck?
 

What the fuck?
 

This is the single worst collection of letters I have ever seen. This looks like AIDS. This sounds like someone slowly scratching a chalk board. This is actually vomit-inducing. I am ashamed that more than 10 fellow members of this league have sat down to think of their recreate's name and this is the best they could think of.
 

I hope none of you ever have a point per game season. I hope that the venereal disease that hedgehog named his goalie after never posts a shutout. I'm glad gorlab never wins awards because that would be one massive L for the HOF to take.
 

Good fucking lord. I need to lie down. Fuck you all, honestly.

[Mr_Hatter 1,600]

I'm a big fan of L and R tbh

 

[ThePerfectNut 495]

Gotta admit. These names jesus

@Victor if you would have just voted for Nick Thicc instead of adding a no option to the poll Muffbeav could have been avoided ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Devise 4,456]

Tate, Gustav, and Brown get passes their names are okay and could work in a hockey sense. I probably can even live with the likes of a Ove Drydahl, RJ Thatcher and Tsujimoto. 

 

But the REST of that list. Wow. Just wow. Not only do we got an L we got an R. Somehow I thought this article would be you getting mad at Muff for Muffbeav but that at least has a meme connotation to be associated with the league. The rest of the names are garbage fires. 

 

BUT! The worst name on this list is New Player. I will not hear any debate on it L and R work better that New Player ever could.

I only liked Essence of Evgeni tbh

Also, don't hate on Dolant Fertitta. It's the guy's username + the last name of the owner of the Houston Rockets.

 

Lastly, when did we become the no fun league?

[Beaviss 4,937]

I hate 90% of these names. Worst is "MuffBeav"

 

 

[Shaka 227]

It's like if random people were responsible for a Key & Peele skit.

 

It's exactly how I'd expect that to go.

No better place for a fictional hockey player than a sim league!

I mean clearly with the sheer number of "fun" names already in 75 it's probably the opposite. Old timers yelling from their lawn at silly user names doesn't unfun the masses. I've similarly ralied the likes of HHH and Hogan as well.

HHH and Hogan are actual names though..

Fictional ones, of famous pro wrestlers one of whom is confirmed toxic and was cancelled for it temporarily.

 

For me personally naming a hockey player after a fictional major wrester is just like what next skating on the ice The Rock? It's gimmicky. Now if you were Paul Levesque and Terry Bollea I'd probably of had a laugh at the bit.

I was thinking Paul Levesque but I thought not enough people would recognize the name so I went with HHH instead.

Thanks 2020

Frankly, I see it more like the audience heckling bad comedians.

 

Writing a shit name and writing a fun name are 2 different things lol.

[Berocka 1,756]

I'm scared of making my player now

[Blazzer 645]

Imagine during the draft stream, gm's pronouncing their names

[NotAVHLM-GM 1,858]

Shall I make my next player 'Ego The Living Planet'  or not @Victor ? It's Peter Quill's father after all....

I might need to do this just to be able to top this class

It was a real missed opportunity making both L and R defence, when you could have had L RW and R LW smh
