from the 2 anaheim busts Stan Chistov and Alexei Smirnov.

I remember faintly that Barry Melrose mentioned on ESPN that Chistov was the next heir to Kariya and Smirnov was supposed to be a bruising power forward.

Although not my birth name, I am known as Buzz in real life. When someone asks if it’s my real name, I usually try to convince them that it is and that I was born the year they landed on the moon and named after Buzz Aldrin. I was born that year, but before the landing :)

When asked how I got the name, I have a bogus story I tell people! I always say, “It’s a long story, all about a bunch of Mormons and a vibrator!” and that almost always results in ears pricking up. I then tell a story that is half truth and half fiction…

When I was younger, I was at a friend’s flat, when we got a visit from three preaching Mormons. We invited them in and we managed to convert one of them :) (Up to this point, it’s 100% true, but from here, I am full of…)

About a year later, we were at the flat of the girl we converted. She had become a dirty cow TBH and while there, one of my friends noticed a vibrator sticking out from under the TV stand. There followed a conversation about it, where a friend said that it couldn’t do anything a man couldn’t and she said that she was turned on by the buzzing. I grabbed her hand, led her to the bed room and… Well, you can imagine! All the way through, I kept making loud buzzing noises. My friends were in the next room, laughing about it and from then, I have been known as Buzz.

Usually, after telling that story, the person I told it to will say, “Really?” and I smile and say, “No! But it’s more interesting than the truth! :D

The truth is that I support a team in the UK called the Bracknell Bees. When young, I was the noisy one in the crowd, who used to lead most of the chanting. After a game in 1988, a fan of the Cardiff Devils, who we had just played, said I was the man who put the Buzz into the Bees and it came from there… This time, it’s the truth :)

And this is the one that stuck? Congratulations.
I figured I might get "heat" for posting in this thread, but whatever, I am bored.

That is the name that a bunch of golf friends have called me since University days(2 friends since grade 3 and 7). But yeah, I have had others that were not as "incognito" as this one. At least this one I can say it's from a hockey player keeping his stick on the ice.

My first username had 420 in it and HF hated that so I had to change it

I was WhiteMandingo for like 6 years then HF realized what that meant and made me change it

Then I was GayAndVegan for a while but HF must not like gay people or vegans so I had to change it again

Now I am just Mantis


Mine is my initials + my favourite team - but I also have a funny story to add.
From 2004 to maybe 2014 or 2015, I was Cjbhab.
Then I had several troll accounts: David Donaldson (desharnais), Fabricland Suits (tim thomas), Rick Nashville (rick nash), etc - I made up several fake trades and claimed that Jordan Eberle was dating my sister.
Those accounts got permabanned - no surprise.
Eventually, cjbhab got banned because they somehow guessed I was associated with those other troll accounts.

I then took over my buddies account that he gave me, and i changed the name back to cjbhab and have been an upstanding member ever since.
