He's made the club. Let's stop calling him Johnny.

Didn't he just tell the media in camp Johnny was his preferred name?

I still can’t get over the Hamilton’s legally naming their kid “Dougie.”

I met a guy in college who was legally named Lenny P. Enos. You can imagiune the stuff tossed his way.

Can we still call Mr. Bucyk Johnny then or does that annoy you as well ?

Doesn’t he prefer Johnny?

Doesn’t matter. GORDON HOWE doesn’t like it.

I remember a guy whose first letter of his first name was a P. I don't remember if he was a "Paul" or "Peter" and last name was also Enos IIRC. He had a PhD and government security clearances. "What doesn't kill you....."

 

[Gordoff]

With all due respect GH, Bobby Orr, and Gordie Howe never seemed to mind so.

No. Mr. Bucyk has always been Johnny.

You can also call him Chief. Or, alternately, Buhdda. Ask an old timer about that one.

 

[CDJ]

Fairly certain he prefers Johnny?

Point is that Beecher can still be called Johnny if he's made it to the NHL. It worked for other John's or Johnathan's in the past.

He and Lauko will be fun to watch on the forecheck, with Lucic there as well. They're bound to piss some teams off with their moxy, speed, tenacity and then Lucic steps in with the mop when things get messy.

There might be some issues on the other end with two rookies and Looch, but we'll see. Excited to see this trio go to work.

Not enough love being given to Beecher. 95% defensive zone starts so far this season and as a rookie is winning 53% of his faceoffs (57% vs the Kings), including some pretty big ones late in the game in his own zone. Awesome to have a rookie doing so well at 4C in the role he has been asked to fill by Monty. Fingers crossed he keeps improving as he gets more NHL games under his belt.

Yep, he's been good.

Would like to see the offense come, but he's done everything asked of him in his role.

Watched Behind The B & it showed them talking about him when picking team.
