I was browsing through some of my select favorite websites on my television and checked in the Globe blog. There was an update about Andrew Ference posted by Fluto and I was trying to cherry-pick a quote to post here. I'm lucky Ference mentioned this website's favorite, Chuck Kobasew.

Ference has worked out with Chuck Kobasew and Milan Lucic this summer. He said Kobasew has recovered from his broken tibia and is ready to go.

"He's Chuck," said Ference. "He's keeping himself wound up and getting excited for the season. He's raring to go. It was tough on him to miss the playoffs. He's chomping at the bit to get that going."

Should I even confess that a week ago I had forgotten Kobasew was injured at the end of last season? That was until I got all caught up the other day.

I thought that was all I needed to read, but I scrolled down and saw a picture of Brad Boyes. He was another of the site's favorite and the personally autographed picture that was given to me confirms that. (Maybe I'll post that story someday.)

Anyway, my eyes skimmed past Boyes's career-high 43 goals with the Blues, and instead went to the letters BMW under Fluto's comment.

That's a lot of offense for the Bruins to have given up, but given the way Dennis Wideman played last year, it's a deal that isn't as lopsided as it once appeared. That is, if BMW (Big Money Wides) continues to develop in 2008-09.

That has got to be the best Bruins nickname I have heard in a long time.

What have been some of your favorite Bruins players' nicknames in the past?
