  1. he used to be bigger nd pudgy


  2. When he was a rookie with the Rangers, the other players thought he looked like a Pug when he removed his mask. Instead of calling him "pug" they went with "pudge".

  3. he has been called this his whole career is started when he played in texas and it refers to his pudgy body

  4. It is because he is kind of overweight and is therefore pudgy. So they call him pudge, great player though.
