(edited to add: Aubrey came up with some and linked to this piece and Wrap Around Curl's.) after all the negativity in the last post, I wanted to have a little fun. I thought of scanning some more old books, but then a #nhlanagrams tag popped up on Twitter, and I immediately googled "anagram generator," found some sites, and posted a bunch. not too many (since no one else I know was playing along, though some people enjoyed reading them and retweeted) but apparently enough to lose a follower (could have been spam anyway). so here goes (some make much more sense than others):
Eastern Conference:
Alex Ovechkin = Hack Live Oxen or Nail, Choke, Vex.
Sidney Crosby = Ed Sins, Cry, Boy
Zdeno Chara = Daze Anchor
Milan Lucic = Lilac Cumin
Sean Avery = Arena Yves
Matt Cooke = Cake Motto
some Central Division fun:
Rick Nash = Rink Cash
David Backes = Bad Save, Dick
Shea Weber = He Saw Beer
Vancouver Canucks (sadly, "Ryan Kesler" didn't turn into anything)
Roberto Luongo = Rube Go Loot Ron
Kyle Wellwood = We Yolk Do Well
Alex Burrows = Our Sex Brawl
Chicago Blackhawks (& prospect):
Kyle Beach = Heal Becky
Jonathan Toews = Want Josh, Atone. or A Hot Jeans Town (someone beat me to it on Twitter)
Patrick Kane = I Kept a Crank
Duncan Keith = A Dunce Think (his name turned up a lot of unprintable ones. yes, even by the standards of my previous post--unprintable)
Brent Seabrook = Beast Broke Ron
Kris Versteeg = Resist Keg, Rev
Tomas Kopecky = Stop, OK? My Cake
Antti Niemi = Aim, net. In it.
these are my favorite (and often, most apt) ones I found searching what people had posted on Twitter:
Zach Parise = A Cash Prize
Tie Domi = Me Idiot
Luke Schenn = Heckle Nuns
Sidney Crosby = Bossy Ice Nerd
Vesa Toskala = AKA Lost Save
...some names were too short to produce anything good, some had too many unusual letters to work (Zenon Konopka *sigh*). Martin Brodeur has "rotund" in it but I didn't work out the rest of the phrase. be warned, I might do this again.

Bossy Ice Nerd? Hahaha! That is hilarious and sort of fitting! So is Rick Nash/Rink Cash. Weird how so many of them seem appropriate.
I edited to link to your post and Wrap's. I'm definitely going to do an all-Hawks edition, I tried Marian Hossa, Dustin Byfuglien & Cristobal Huet after my post and there's a lot to work with there (much of it kinda NSFW)!
Ryan Kelser = Sleek R Yarn
The middle initial is cheating.... just a touch.
