As much as I hate them as a team, calling the Flyers "Broad St. Bullies" back in the day was pretty cool.

 

And I dug it when they called the Bruins line of Oates, Juneau and Ruzicka "The Bonanza Line" (Adam Oates, Little Joe Juneau, and "Hoss" Ruzicka)

No, I think the greatest of all time is the Purple People Eaters.

Ahhh yes, the same team that the Steelers beat in Super Bowl IX........

One vote for the worst nickname: Denver's "Orange Crush" defense. Because nothing is as scary as an articifial colored and flavored soda.
