Official Jets Nickname thread

After the article in the Globe and Mail searching for a nickname for Patrick Laine, I thought we should create a main thread for ongoing nicknames for the current Jets players. I will populate the list as the suggestions come in.. this is a democracy so most popular wins!

Call Laine Ragnar. Dudes a Viking.

 

[wpgsilver]

Anthony "God's gift to all humanity" Peluso.


I can't be the only one who calls him that.

 

[csk]

Jo Mo is MoJo

 

[bumblebeeman]

I always liked Nik "electric eel" Ehlers

 

[Dayofthedogs]

Ehlers = Dashing dane, probably best looking guy on the team + speed
Scheifele = Chef or Snipely, He's busy in the kitchen cooking up some points
Buff = Buff,
Myers = Octopus
Wheeler = Wheels
Lowry = Lousy
Armia = Army of one
MP = Frenchy


Laine has always reminded me more of a James Bond Villain then Bond. I mean put him in an 80's Mercedes 560 SEL with those sweet driving gloves he wore in that YouTube video of him driving that moped car.... seriously he looks and sounds like every 80''s movie bad guy a la, die hard, lethal weapon, beverly hills cop....

 

[ItchyScratchy77]

The Danish Dash?

 

[randomhockeyfan]

When will you guys learn that it's Patrik, not Patrick. :/

 

[TheDeuce]

If Laine grows his mane like he did last season I'm thinking Rhaegar or some play thereon.

I was trying to push 'Scheif the Knife' but that hasn't captured the public imagination.


Electric Ehlers works for me though.

[AlphaLackey]

I'll get "Lurch" over as a nickname for Adam Lowry if it kills me.

As a big Rollerball fan, and with Tyler Myers being a gigantic sonofagun from Houston, I use "Moonpie" for the guy, but I understand "The Condor" stuck with him from Buffalo.

But one thing that's an iron lock? Chris Thorburn is "4th Line Jesus". There was even a poll and a very brief holy war against the "Christ Horburn" infidels to iron that out.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Joel Armia: Lol Armia
Patrik Laine: Hatrik SeLaine / Patrik (super)Star /
Drew Stafford: Tats

Defense
Ben Chiarot: Chiapet
Toby Enstrom: monstEr
Josh Morrisey: Rissey
Tyler Myers: Mylers
Paul Postma: Papo
Mark Stuart: Bench

Goalies
Connor Hellebuyck: HelleCopter

 

[bogostick]

Burmislam

 

[alchemyindex]

Armia + Laine = Super Suomi Bros.

 

[Sabadecade]

Here are some of my suggestions based on my brothers' photoshop work...


Nikolaj Ehlers: "The Dashing Dane"

Patrik Laine: "The Finnisher"

Mathieu Perreault: I also like "Fenchie" but with an "ie" (it looks more Frenchie that way)

Mark Scheifele: "Féfé" (based on that namebar misspelling a couple years ago)

Chris Thorburn: "Thor"

Mark Stuart: "StuHeart" (because, you know, he's got heart and grit)

Jacob Trouba: "Troubanator" (He's BACK!)

He's done more but they don't promote nicknames...

 

[irunthepeg]

Fefe or Bambi are the best Scheifele nicknames I feel like Fefe will stand the test of time.

 

[Evil Little]

There's nothing official about any of this.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Matty P

I always type it as Scheif and Wheels.

Mark St_art

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

I believe "he who cannot be named" is playing for the moose.

One of our D (can't remember who) was named the Baker once as they were really good at turnovers.

 

[wpgsilver]

There's nothing official about any of this.

The title says "Official" though..

 

[RageQuit77]

There's nothing official about any of this.

Haha. Add Official to a what-ever title it just mysteriously elevate the topic.

Anyhow. Nice idea. Fans are after all those ones who make and use nick names.

 

[WinnipegWinter*]

There's nothing official about any of this.

Shhhhhh

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Postma = Postman Paul (he delivers)
Thorburn = Scoreburn, obvs.
Stafford = Staph infection
Myers = Giraffe
Laine = Hatrik Laine

 

[WinnipegWinter*]

Postma = Postman Paul (he delivers)
Thorburn = Scoreburn, obvs.
Stafford = Staph infection
Myers = Giraffe
Laine = Hatrik Laine

I thought it was because he always hit the post in his first couple years!

 

[Evil Little]

Shhhhhh

I just mean that I could understand a thread compiling the teammate-used nicknames (Lits, Scheif, Wheels, Bucky/Buyck****, Frenchie, Pate, Thorbs, Lowsy, etc--I swear I heard Chiarot referred to on the ice as "Baby" once.)

 

[tacogeoff]

Joel Armia: Armyofone
Brian Little: B.Lit


Tyler Myers: Condor or any enormous bird. as above
Paul Postma: Postman as above

Connor Hellebuyck: Helly/HellnBack
