I have to go out to San Jose, CA for work in a couple of weeks, which made me think of the Shark Tank, which in turn made me think of arena nicknames.
Do all the NHL Arena's have a non-corporate nickname, lets get a list going.
1. HP Pavilion - aka "The Shark Tank"

With NJ's new arena in Newark, The Prudential Center's nickname is "The Rock" because of Prudential's logo being a huge rock or something.

In the old days, the Pens arena was called "The Igloo". Buffalo had "The Aud", New Jersey was "The Swamp", Montreal had "The Forum", Calgary "The Saddledome",

I call the Pepsi Center "The Center Where Pepsi Costs $4.00 Per Bottle" I'm talking about the little bottle here.
