Sebastian Aho Scores 2 Goals 34 Seconds, and 500 Miles, Apart

[Miri]

Sebastian Aho controls the horizontal and the vertical. He can deluge you with a thousand channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond. He will make you experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to the outer limits.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Saw title had to come see what the heck happened Aho meaning "of course" in Punjabi my mother tongue.

I can see you watching Olympic hockey and 1 of your non english speaking relatives leans over and says hey that blue and white team is really polite, every time they pass they are like of course lol
completely different take if you were Japanese lol this idiot passes to that idiot lol

 

[sr edler]

It really that strange to have 2 players with the same name?

Danish Olympic team had Nicklas Jensen and Nicholas Jensen, plus Jesper Jensen and Jesper Jensen Aabo.

 

[D1az]

I think the Canes should make a trade for Aho.

 

[boredmale]

I always wonder what would happen if these 2 guys happen to play for the same team how do you distinguish them on the Jerseys? You can't use S. Aho

Granlund brothers use Mi. Granlund and Ma. Granlund when ever they play together for team Finland.

Problem is both are named Sebastian. I guess they can do middle name initial.

I know, but i just wanted to give an example. It is a pickle indeed.

 

[SenzZen]

No you're not.


I am.

 

[Beerfish]

You'd' think these players would be nice and polite but they are a couple of ahos.

One of them could just have Aho on the back, the other could have S. Aho. Or they could wear different numbers I guess.

IIRC that's what they did a couple of years ago when Rick and Riley Nash played on the same Bruins team for a short while.

It really that strange to have 2 players with the same name? I am guessing soon we're also going to have 2 Jack Hughes in NHL.

Yeah, maybe it would be possible to have two guys with common names like Steve Smith in the league, but it's almost impossible to have rarer names like Stephane Richer or even more obscure European names like Petr Svoboda.

Some things just need to happen.

I mean, Miroslav Satan was never traded to New Jersey Devils, which is close to blasphemy.

Wonder how many Cal Clutterbucks there are

Different numbers
This has happened before with guys with the same last name (e.g. Rick and Riley Nash just went by "Nash 61" and "Nash 20") or even the same first initial (e.g. when the Staals played together they went as "J. Staal 11", "E. Staal 12", "J. Staal 13")
It's definitely a confusing situation though

Just use their full names.

 

[sr edler]

or even more obscure European names like Petr Svoboda.

Svoboda is like the 4th most common Czech surname, and Petr is really common too, so obscure it is very much not.

If you want an obscure Euro name try like Eddie Läck or Johan Witehall.

 

[sr edler]

The younger Petr Svoboda only played in 18 NHL games, one of those games against the older Petr Svoboda.

I am surrounded by Aho's! I will let myself out.

One of them could change their name to "Opinion".

Like the old saying goes, Opinions are like Ahos - everybody has one.

 

[tuozzi]

i can tell u there arent many sebastian aho's in north america. even more amusing is that one is from sweden and one is from finland.

In North America perhaps, but there are a lot of Swedish and Finnish players in the NHL.

We've already had Niklas Bäckström from Finland and Nicklas Bäckström from Sweden.

People within the same generation and cultural sphere often have similar type of first names because of strong name trends. Regarding the two Ahos, I guess Sebastian was just a fairly popular name to give to your kids in the Nordic countries in the late 90s? (and I don't think only because of the famous crab in The Little Mermaid).

Without trying to sound too much like an amateur psychologist or Sigmund Freud here, I think some of it is partly subconscious, and some of it is just fitting in. You'll often hear parents say "oh, we thought we were super original with our name choice, but then everyone else named their kid the exact same name!" For instance, former teammates Scott Niedermayer and Joe Nieuwendyk both have hockey playing sons named Jackson.

I remember looking the Isles game score after the Canes game score at some time during the first period and went f***ing crazy for a while because I thought it was still showing the Canes game score. Felt stupid after I realized...

 

[Royale With Cheese]

As they say, Aho in the hand is worth two in the bush.
