Good question. Always enjoyed his contributions on the Sunshine, JV, and SPT boards

I humbly submit a few for the general board lexicon from recent times:

So good. Thanks.

I humbly submit a few for the general board lexicon from recent times:

Matt Barzal's Game Star - For when Barzal played a completely invisible and inconsequential playoff game, yet was rewarded by the media over Lightning players who had dominated the game. (See Eddie Olczyk's Impartiality)

Eddie Olczyk's Impartiality - his sucking off of Matt Barzal in the Islanders series (and related ignorance of a wildly superior Brayden Point) was an epically embarrassing example of impartiality

Tyler Johnson's wrist - the breaking of which in 2015 apparently robbed TJ of not only his shot, but also his wheels, defensive and playmaking ability

Stamkos' Legendary 2:47 - Nuff said

#KillornDown - Gravity is a harsh mistress for Alex Killorn

Dead Money Trio - meant to describe players who aren't living up to their contract terms. Rotating membership has included: Ryan Callahan (injured), Alex Killorn, Tyler Johnson (injured), Brayden Coburn, Matt Carle(?), Ondrej Palat (injured)

Killorn's 20 Goals - once hit, ushered in an apocalyptic global pandemic and economic collapse

These are always fun.

Callahan's Intangibles
Bionic Leg of Stamkos
Vasilevskiy's Name Change

Revenge for Downie - justification used for any sort of late hit / cheap shot / stick foul / punch against the Lightning's Steve Downie, a.k.a. as retaliation for his suspendable actions as a member of the Flyers. Revenge for Downie is not limited to players who were teammates of the injured parties during said incidents, and does not warrant a penalty. Usually followed by a gesture like this:

Maxim Lapierre.

Yes... I forgot Matt Cooke too, but you get the idea

Ref muscles - Kind of like beer muscles. The increase in perceived toughness, cheap gestures directed at the crowd and/or apparent willingness to fight when the presence of officials makes the likelihood of an altercation impossible. Players with ref muscles will often turtle when a fair fight presents itself. Prominent examples: Alexander Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, Chris Neil, Sean Avery, Jarko Ruutu.

5mith - the post concussion version of the goaltender who stood on his head for the Lightning before 2009.

This is too perfect (sadly enough)

Drunken Crawl - Mike Smith's post-to-post movement on a penalty shot or breakaway.

Oh[lund] Face - The look and accompanying crowd noise when Mattias Ohlund decides to wreck someone's life (see Kessel, Phil)

Dunno if you want to include this one but I came up with it when he clocked Zetterberg
