John Erskine's New Nickname E-mail

In light of new developments with the Capitals' salary cap situation, many people are speculating that big moves could be on the horizon. The most obvious area of need, or at least the area that is discussed the most, is along the blueline. With yesterday's recall of Karl Alzner, the Caps sit with nine blueliners (eight of them healthy), and will be forced to make some sort of move soon.

Japers' Rink did a little research and talked about individual numbers among the defenders on the roster this afternoon. It was widely thought that John Erskine and Shaone Morrisonn are the biggest underachievers among the group so far this season, and there is a good possibility that one or both of them could be moved between now and the trade deadline.

Erskine is currently the team's worst penalty killing defender (excluding Tyler Sloan) with a 12.44 GAON per sixty minutes of 4-on-5 play. He's also at the bottom of the barrel in average giveaways and blocked shots among the regulars (excluding Sloan and Alzner). What does all of this mean? We might be running out of time with #4 in the lineup, so I cannot sit on his nickname any longer.

There was some discussion that Erskine looks like an ideal spokes model for Brawny Paper Towels, but I don't think that does the big guy justice. Besides, there's really only one man that Big Erskine looks like...

Considering this stunning new development, I hereby announce that John Erskine will only be referred to as 'Hot Pocket' from here until eternity. If you don't know what I'm talking about, click here. Just remember that it's out of love John. Please don't come punch me in the face. Doesn't this just look right?

From Mile High Hockey Post Game Wrapup of Avs/Caps 6-1 drubbing.

"The Avalanche laid a turd on the ice last night in the shape of a Hot Pocket."
