Sports writers and announcers alike love to use sports teams' names when reporting scores. Taking hockey as an example, you see headlines like:

"Canucks torch Flames"
"Canucks spear Sharks"
"Canucks fall prey to Predators"
"Canucks smothered by Avalanche"
... and so on.

But then you have some team names that aren't so "reporting-friendly", like the "Canucks". Really... how can you use that cleverly?

The only one I can think of is "Boston Bruins kicked in the 'Nucks".
