What Will Be Kirill Kaprizov's Nickname on the Wild?

[Wild11MN]

How about Kaptain?

Kaptain Kirill Kaprizov.

Uh oh.

 

[Saga of the Elk]

Kapper

or, The Mongolian Messiah

 

[Uberdachen]

Until he's here, asking Fiala via bear translator where he gets his nut cup fireworks-proofed, I'll go with Y2K.

Don't tell Gozer I still have some secret hope he is actually KKrussian Baby Jesus.

 

[zxc55555]

Kapri Son

 

[TaLoN]

His nickname will be....

Fiala's linemate

 

[Arturia Pendragon]

Salad

because his last name always reminded me of Caprese

 

[Mookie Blaylock]

So there, you had to just let him know that he had it flipped around. After dinner, my kids, who started off shy, then just wanted to rip around and play with Kappy

I liked Hemi myself

Yet another player's name whose potential was ruined by a lack of imagination.

I'll keep calling him Hemi thank you very much

 

[Prior]

Hemi is still significantly worse than the uninspired Kappy.

The best nicknames are never forced. They just appear one day out of the blue and stick.

Some of my my favorites The Black Mamba, Sweetness, The Snake and of course Mr Hockey. None of these were a play on their names, but more a description of how they play or who they are.

I don't really get "Hemi"....does it have something to do with the Dodge Hemi engine?

 

[GuerinUp]

his teammates are already calling him kappy in russos latest article

 

[57special]

"Kappy " seems like the winner till they get something better like the equivalent of " Bruce", or "Haula-Fama".

Man, @W75 was on fire earlier in this thread.

I think it's about how his ceiling is so high it's in the Northern Hemisphere.

I'm particularly fond of his "Kandalf the Red" one.

Yeah the 426 Hemi from back in the 60s. Kaprizov's birthday is April 26th, 4/26. So DANOZ28 started calling him Hemi.

I think we should call him Datsun, because he's a smallish player from the Asian continent, kind of like the 280z.... very sporty in his play style.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

That's my birthday too, I can be Hemi instead

Black Mamba was forced by Kobe himself.

 

[MuckOG]

Black Mamba was forced by Kobe himself.

Even better

 

[AKL]

Maybe he should brand himself as Red Mongoose

 

[Kshahdoo]

Caprice. Because it's what his last name means...

 

[TaLoN]

That's it, I'm calling him Chevy

 

[AKL]

We could also call him Polaris because he's the brightest star (prospect) we've ever had and we're all counting on him to lead us home (to a Stanley Cup)

 

[GordieGallant]

Suter will call him Vladamir and it will stick.
