The origins of nicknames (if known) are noted below. Several of the above are simply shortened names or plays on the current team name or jersey.
- "Bay Street Bullies" - Toronto Maple Leafs: a play on Philadelphia Flyers' Broad Street Bullies. Originally used by the line composed of Gary Roberts, Shayne Corson and Darcy Tucker due to their gritty style of play and because the team arena is located on Bay Street.
- "Big Bad Bruins" - Boston Bruins: During the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Bruins were known for their physical style of play as well as their success. During recent years, similarities have revived the name.[462]
- "Broad Street Bullies" – Philadelphia Flyers: during the team's Stanley Cup runs during the 1970s, their home ice was the Spectrum on Broad Street in South Philadelphia and the team was noted for its physical play. The team currently plays in the Wells Fargo Center (which is also on Broad Street).
- "Buds" – Toronto Maple Leafs: probably based on the team's use of a leaf as a logo, particularly the secondary logo which includes more tiny lobes than is common in most actual maple leaves - bearing a resemblance to other plants which are known for their buds.
- Bunch of Jerks - Carolina Huricanes: During the success of the unusual post game celebration called the "Storm Surge", many Canadian outlets called the practice "unhockey like" which led to Don Cherry on Hockey Night in Canada to call the 'Canes "a Bunch of Jerks" which Carolina took in stride.
- "Cats" - Florida Panthers: the Panther is a cat.
- "Golden Misfits" - Vegas Golden Knights: In reference to the expansion team status of the Golden Knights, the term was coined by one of its players Ryan Reaves.
- "Les Glorieux" (French, "The Glorious Ones") – Montreal Canadiens
- "Hogs" - Toronto Maple Leafs: based on Toronto's nickname Hogtown.
- "The Katanas" - Buffalo Sabres: based on the team (Tokyo Katanas) the imaginary player Taro Tsujimoto was drafted from in 1974 by then Sabres' GM Punch Imlach, Katanas being an approximation for "Sabres" in the Japanese language.
- "The ManBearPigs" - Minnesota Wild: in reference to the ambiguity of the team's logo as to what animal it depicts. It is a reference to the South Park episode of the same name.
- "The 'Notes" - St. Louis Blues: abbreviation of "Bluenotes".
- "'Nucks" – Vancouver Canucks: abbreviation of "Canucks". (local press and fans)
- "Les Rouges" – Montreal Canadiens: after the red colour of their jerseys.
- "Slugs" - Buffalo Sabres: a disparaging nickname derived from their logo, which resembles a cross between a buffalo and a slug.
- "Swords" - Buffalo Sabres: a nickname derived from their title, the "sabres", which is a sword.
- "Sabs", Sabes - Buffalo Sabres: abbreviation of the name "Sabres".
- "Le Tricolore" (French, "The Tricolour") – Montreal Canadiens: after the flag of France, which has the same colour scheme (blue-white-red).
- "Southern Stars" - Dallas Stars: as opposed to the North Stars, who they replaced.
- "Tomales" – Toronto Maple Leafs: taken from the first two letters of the team's full name ('TO'ronto 'MA'aple 'LE'afS).
- "Dead Wings" - Detroit Red Wings: nickname given by the rivaled Hawks fans.
- "La sainte flanelle" (French, "The Holy Flannel") - Montreal Canadiens : Maurice Richard came back on the ice after being cut to the head to score the Stanley Cup winning goal against Boston Bruins in 1953. His jersey was full of blood.
