Facing Jimmy Snuggerud's shot? 'It's like a 90 mile an hour curveball'

[seattleblue]

Snuggerud himself even refers to himself as Snuggy. The Gophers would announce his goals as “Snuggy snipes”. The nickname is a little silly but that’s like…his name. Those that hate it can either get on board with it or I guess complain about it for the next 10-15 years…

I hate it. I’ll never like it, but it is what it is. As long as he sticks up for himself… he can call himself snuggalicious

you are missing a glorious opportunity to go the other direction and enjoy it deliciously while others get flustered about it IMO. it's pure fun. playfulness. sports should have that.

I’ll try my best … and I’m not too flustered about it. Just think it’s silly. I’d have so much fun chirping him in the playoffs.

it's more likely to go the other way. Blues trail by one and he rifles a sexy one to tie it. Then the silly fun is there for you, right where you want to meet it

Nope my goal is a place of acceptance. If I start to partake then I will feel incongruent and vulnerable. I’ll bring this up with my psychologist. Exposure therapy would be best in this situation…so you’ve already helped

That was genuinely funny, well played

Hahaha. I do love this interaction. It took me a while to accept a snuggle-based nickname, but the idea of other fanbases hating the name appeals to me.

Oh man they are going to hate it. Other players will too. I hate it and I’m on his side.

Don’t want to put too much pressure on the kid but he probably has the best shot on the team. Or at least has the potential to. It’s a heck of a shot. He just needs to prove it in the NHL now. And if he sticks on a line with Thomas, he’s going to get plenty of opportunities this season.

What's sad is I fear Bolduc's was better. Gotta give to get, I guess, but Boldy looked to have it all.

I hope Jimmy's not put under any pressure of the comparison if he struggles and Bolduc shines early on.

What's funny is I've heard an atomic wedgie called a "snuggy" before.

What Bolduc showed/did better was get to the slot/find soft areas. It reminded me of how Hull did that…he’s not Hull, but some guys are just able to do that better than others. Getting positions for the shot and increasing percentages/danger is half the battle. We will see if that continues.

Snuggerud will/should get more atoi though. Monty seems to like hm a lot. His ice time in the playoffs shocked me

[Section315]

If he is able to but on some muscle this summer, he is going to breakout IMO.

Blues are missing on a big cross-branding opportunity.
Less than six months to Christmas!!

Snuggerud’s shot is better. Bolduc’s was good for sure though. Dvorsky and Carbonneau’s are about on par with Bolduc’s. We’ve drafted a lot of players lately where their shot is really really high end.

We need some sort of chant WHILE doing the PP dance

Snuggy, wuggy, buggy tuggy

Snuggy, wuggy, buggy tuggy

Snuggy, wuggy, buggy tuggy

Snuggy, wuggy, buggy tuggy

It will be epic …

If that is supposed to be funny, it isn't. It is just another of your famous, humorless, ignorant, world-class faceplants.

One adjective I left out.....trolling. There is a far greater chance we will her a
"Beedy Boi sucks" chant.

Personally I prefer Nugs. Honorable mention to Rudy.

[onetimedit]

Snugs seems a safe, hockey fit, won't get made fun of with that.
I can see it - Schenner: "fortunately Snugs was there to put in the rebound..."
