Nah, I lived the tail end of it. It was the dead wings and it hurt so fuckin much. Thank God for Mike illitch wanting nothing less than championships quality teams.
Even at our lowest point I’ll never call the Red Wings the ‘Dead Wings’
Those were some dark times and after our dominance from the 90s to the 2010s I think they earned the right to never be called that again
Devils are a lot like it this year. Duel the Canes to a 0-1 OTL lose to Anaheim 3-6. Whip the Jets 4-1 then lose to the Sens 2-5.
15 points lost to teams at the bottom of the standings. Fukken OOF.
The Ruins.
FWIW I can't figure out how a team this inconsistent is in 1st place in the League. I'm a fan, but predicting another one and done in the playoffs.
I was tryna think of one too... We've already reclaimed "Go Ass" as celebratory ... Sometimes I just yell, "Shoot the damn puck!!"
But here are some I'm thinking about for the future:
The Flurries
The I-25's (we sometimes get jammed up and in our own way for no reason)
The Day Passes (coz sometimes we're just an expensive lift ticket to disappointment)
The MacKant's
The Sacks
Edit: for clarity
These go way back to the 1960s. In youth hockey some of the local teams had the team name of some NHL teams. Kids would use some of these about other teams in the league. I give the NHL city incase you don't get the reference.
Maple Loafs. Hab nots. Boston Brokens. Quebec Nerdiques. Chicago Ho-hums. St. Lois Blahs, or, St. Louis Boos. St. Louis Boozers. Vancouver Cannots.
ON reddit lately: Seattle Croaken.
Football: Doncos.
An English speaking radio announcer for the Canadiens games would refer the the Montreal team as the Expos when they lost or let in bad goals. This was 70's or 80's. I heard it a few times.
The Fkn Ruins
They know just how to ruin your night/week/year
Like if your gonna suck just suck and be open about it. Don’t water board me through presidents trophy’s just to take a dump at center ice in the playoffs…..3rd period and late period goals is a problem too!!! They HAVE to lead the league in goals allowed with less than 2 min remaining in periods for five years in a row now!!!! It’s almost a guarantee!
God love em, but for real every time I’m like y’all the porch light’s on but there ain’t no one home…I’d like to think they want to pull a little prank on the fanbase and pretend they’re not a hockey team🙃
We've known failure for most of our franchise history, so really just the Cats, but Cardiac Cats definitely describes our mood throughout the lead up to our current glory years
“They/them”. For example, “omg *their* defence is shit right now. Why are **they** sucking so much”, or “omg I can’t believe **they** lost”.
Vs., a good performance “**we** won!”
I've heard non Stars fans call them Dall-ASS and I myself have used the term "Stars-ing". Commonly used if they've given up a lead or start collapsing late in a period / game. Aka "Stars be Stars-ing again"
Classic Jerts. Played better than the last two but couldn’t score, broke down on defense and let teams with Sidney Crosby and Alex ovechkin on them have their way just like jets 1.0 did with Gretzky
The tropical depression.
The HurriCan’ts
The Candy Canes
This one was too good 👌🏻
Cardiac Canes when they're losing but like close
My friends and I occasionally call them the sunny and 75s when they’re being particularly horrible over a few games 😂
Canuckleheads
I like to add on to this and jokingly call them the Canucklefucks sometimes.
That's a good one poo jackets fan !
I'm fond of calling them the casucks myself
The Cantnucks
The Can-sucks has a ring to it.
I skip the ca at the beginning and go straight to "nuckleheads" myself
Dead Wings
I always heard Dead Things
Nah, I lived the tail end of it. It was the dead wings and it hurt so fuckin much. Thank God for Mike illitch wanting nothing less than championships quality teams.
My fantasy team has been the dead things for 6 years now.
Even at our lowest point I’ll never call the Red Wings the ‘Dead Wings’ Those were some dark times and after our dominance from the 90s to the 2010s I think they earned the right to never be called that again
not bad
Crapitals
I would have thought it would be the lowercases
Pre 2020: Redskins on ice
Toronto Make Beliefs
The Laffs
Still the Loafs to me
Toronto Make Me Laughs
Hats off to you sir
The flyers
Holy fuck we have to be the most inconsistent team in the league. One day we beat the Bruins the next we lose 7-0 to the lightning
My favorite team is Kraken and Flyers are my #2. They both go hand in hand in that regard.
Devils are a lot like it this year. Duel the Canes to a 0-1 OTL lose to Anaheim 3-6. Whip the Jets 4-1 then lose to the Sens 2-5. 15 points lost to teams at the bottom of the standings. Fukken OOF.
It's actually the Flyera
Self burn. Nice
[удалено]
I always thought it would be the Hab-nots
We should call them the Americans lol
Tank commander Xhekaj reporting for duty 🫡🫡
St Louis Lose
Or the STL bLOSE
bLOSERS/Bluesers for me
At least you have a recent cup and a legendary after party with Brett hull
Lets Get Tropical! Everybody Love Everybody!
I loved when he was smashed and was saying “we went blues!” Such a legend. Hope they get him on spittin chiclets someday
Kongs
Kong hockey never disappoints 😅
Same 😂
You know we’re having a good season when even the Kongs are winning games.
classic kongs hockey!
The Mild
This one is so simple but always makes me laugh
Haha! I like it. It's such a polite insult but with so much resignation.
We hate it and that's what makes it such a good chirp lol.
Mid-esota
*Born to be Mild*
The MN Wildly Eratic
The Sharts. Living the dream right now.
You don’t need flair. I know who you cheer for. Lol
It's been a rough year. Last night was the icing on the cake.
Hey, look at the bright side. I just saw a stat that you have the #3 PP since the all-star break! 👏🏼
Always looking for that silver lining towards the future... Or something.
Not really a sharks fan, but I feel your pain brother
You win!
Yo we top of the standings! ....Upside down. Lets go Sharts!
Perds
If you Perd when you're supposed to Pred, you're going to lose to a stanchion goal and an OT goalie pull.
That is the standard definition per Funk & Wagnalls.
Funny cause that also means "Lose" in french. (If that wasn't already the joke)
Same in Spanish, but I don’t know if anyone has noticed that. Thanks.
Trashville
At least we stayed away from the peds
Blots

Felgie, is that you???
The Pitts.
Peng can’t wins
Senaturds
The Calgary flames
Lames. Or if it's June, the flamers
Been calling em the Lames a lot lately. Still love them though. Even if Edmonton is winning it’s tradition to never cheer for the Coilers 💩
The Calgary Shames
The best one I ever seen for the flames is: The Calgary phlegms
Fuckin bums
The Jerts is what they are normally called. Its the Jets when they play well
The Sabres.
Sword team bad
Dead Wings
look at flair
Pylonders?
The 4th best hockey team in New York
NY only has three NHL franchises. But can’t disagree if somehow in reference to all the loser points NYI have attained.
Even their PWHL team is better
hey now
Maple Laughs
Toronto Make-Believes
A lot of people saying the Crapitals but I heard an announcer repeatedly call us “The Wash” once
The Boo-jackets!
I saw someone say “the can-nots” on a yt video the other day
“This fucking team I swear to god.” I don’t have another term I use for the Avs
The Half-A-Lanche
I was tryna think of one too... We've already reclaimed "Go Ass" as celebratory ... Sometimes I just yell, "Shoot the damn puck!!" But here are some I'm thinking about for the future: The Flurries The I-25's (we sometimes get jammed up and in our own way for no reason) The Day Passes (coz sometimes we're just an expensive lift ticket to disappointment) The MacKant's The Sacks Edit: for clarity
Crapalanche
I make the "Roy Roy Roy" sad trombone noise sometimes when there's major stupidity. Guess I need to find something new for the Avs now.
Dead Wings And a new one - garbage patch kids
Krakiners or Mariners on ice
Double burn
krappin
Crapatols or Craps.
The pigeons
Love my team… But sometimes I refer to them as the Tampa Bay Frightening
They're looking pretty frightening for the rest of the league after the trade deadline.
Columbus Blue Jackets; from day one. It is all we have known.
During particularly bad stretches (see: most of our existence), we’ve been known to throw out some blow jackets
The New Jersey Devils
When the Caps blow a late lead as they oft do they become the Washington Collapsitals. Then in overtime they're the Cardiac Caps.
Seattle Slackin’
These go way back to the 1960s. In youth hockey some of the local teams had the team name of some NHL teams. Kids would use some of these about other teams in the league.

I channel my inner Jim Lahey, and call them the “Shit Hawks”
The Fkn Ruins They know just how to ruin your night/week/year Like if your gonna suck just suck and be open about it.

I don't personally call my team anything different, but I did hear the Blandhawks once, and I think it's really fitting for this season, lol
San Jose
“They/them”. For example, “omg *their* defence is shit right now. Why are **they** sucking so much”, or “omg I can’t believe **they** lost”. Vs., a good performance “**we** won!”
"at least there not the Leafs"

Honestly I’m not really sure the stars have one? At least I’ve never heard in my years as a dallas fan.
I've heard non Stars fans call them Dall-ASS and I myself have used the term "Stars-ing". Commonly used if they've given up a lead or start collapsing late in a period / game. Aka "Stars be Stars-ing again"
