William Nylander drops nickname for new Leaf and it's a pretty significant nickname theft
Acquired for Dryden Hunt at the trade deadline, Radim Zohorna made his Leaf debut last night against Ottawa. In just over 6 minutes of ice time, the hulking forward scored a goal and led the Leafs in shots with 4.
Zohorna is an intimidating presence in the Leafs' bottom six at 6'6 and 220 pounds. He is the tallest Leaf forward by a few inches. Following his debut, the Leafs awarded Zohorna with the player of the game belt, and William Nylander pulled the highway robbery of nicknames saying that he is now calling Zohorna "Big Z".
It's a good thing Zdeno Chara retired, otherwise there may have been a few issues the next time the Leafs faced off against him. Knowing Bruins fans though, they will still come up with some way to get butt-hurt over Zohorna's new nickname.
