His teammates call him Hamper, can't we just call him that? This Magnus thing is just so lame.

Oh, come on. "Hamper" is so, so much lamer than Magnus. "Hey, man, his name is Hampus, which is like totally foreign and weird, so we're going to go totally wild with it and start like saying his real name and then end it on -er... that ****'s crazy! Hamper! Oh, man!" Seriously. At least Magnus developed naturally and we went with it for the time being. And I understand not liking it, but saying any nickname is "lamer" than an "-er" or "-y" version of a name is just so wrong.

Are you saying that Rick Nasher is NOT a lame nickname? :laugh:

That might be the exception to the rule, because it actually sounds like he's literally just escaped from a trashy college-stoner-movie. Well, that and anyone close to Stiffler, based on misplaced melancholy. :laugh:

Hamper is better than Magnus? Uhmmmmmmm no. A bin that you put dirty underwear, among other clothing, is not cooler sounding than Magnus which sounds close to Magnum. Lawyered.

All -er, -s and -y nicknames are dumb and uncreative.

You can take it further if you like. Mange is a typical nickname for Swedes named Magnus, at least then you'd be using a nickname.

Anyways, interesting that 7 defensemen are dressed. I wonder if that means Brandon will be a healthy scratch.

To hamper is also to impede or delay. Magnus does a good job of that with opposing forwards. Reversed lawyered.

We should just call him "The Lawyer" (or the nickname of a lawyer, if such a thing exists... does Shatner have one on Boston Legal?) based on all this, and end up telling a way too long completely random and boring story to everyone who asks why we call him that. It's perfect!

Finnish fan night? And honoring Teemu? Classy move by the Panther organization.

I was hoping to see more of a Mariano Rivera like Fairwell tour, where every city Teemu goes to, they honor him.

Magnus Johansson has been among the best defensemen in Europe for a decade. He played for Chicago and Florida in 2007/2008 (as a 34 year old rookie), and played for Sweden in the 2010 Olympics. Remember him? Obviously, he must be the guy you are all paying tribute to.

Just found out that Magnus = big in latin. So there's obviously a connection to Magnum there. Maybe Boudreau will dress him as a forward on a line with Boner tonight.
