What hockey word did you decide to ban for 2015?

Last week, we were inspired by TIME Magazine’s annual poll that “bans” a trendy word or phrase in the next year. We asked you to determine which trite, overused or clichéd hockey word or phrase you wanted struck from the lexicon in 2015.

Nearly 13,300 readers voted on a collection of 16 choices. The results are in …

… and RIP, “Celly.”

Yes, that deplorable slang term for a goal-scoring celebration is hereby banned for 2015. Apologies to John Buccigross and others that, for years, have cellied the existence of “celly.”

Here’s the full vote, as we officially cut off the voting at midnight on Monday:

As you can see, the margin was razor-thin between “celly” and “puck bunny,” a term even more deplorable because at least “celly” isn’t used to disparage a group of die-hard fans for having the audacity to be women.

Third place went to “Intent To Blow,” because aren’t we all tired of referees ending plays in their minds before we actually hear a whistle?

Congrats to “filthy,” which is apparently a completely acceptable term.

“Celly” is not. No more sick cellys. No more greasy cellys. We’re not even sure if cellophane can be used anywhere near an NHL dressing room anymore.

Go ahead, read Hockey Wilderness’s defense of the “celly” as the relic it now is. The term is officially banned from the hockey lexicon. Celly will no longer sully the game.

We’ll never use it on Puck Daddy. We’ll never utter it again. And if you hear anyone else using it, please inform your local authorities so that perpetrator can immediately be thrown into the nearest celly. Er, cell.
