At Orland Kurtenblog, a Vancuver Canucks blog, Jason Brough and Mike Halford do a mock draft of the funniest names in NHL history. Included in the list is former Ranger Reijo "Alphabet Soup" Ruotsalainen...Reijo Ruotsalainen (New York Rangers 1981-86)
For the last pick in the draft, I'm happy to see this long-time favourite of the KB still available. Reijo Ruotsalainen was 17 letters of smooth-skating defensive goodness with the New York Rangers and Edmonton Oilers. Herb Brooks once called him the best skater in the NHL. Barbara Walters once called him her biggest nightmare.

...Ruitsalainen's name isn't as good as their #1 funniest name the Blackhawks Harry Dick, but its nice to see a former Ranger on the list.
