Speculation: Zohorna’s nick name.

[Pens x]

Also, it's gonna be super funny to come back to this if he goes like 15 games without a point and never really does anything at the NHL level again.

Then he could be just like Sceviour, Lafferty and Jank and still play every game.

It’s Zohorny. What are we doing?

Why would we care that he's from the mountains?

Ruby, RUBY, ruby, RUBY ZOHO!

Hope I'm not the only one to get this reference.

This absolutely should play over the loud speaker whenever he scores. It won't, but it should. It does in my head, so there is that.

(also note the modest size of the red phone in the video. Damn "3" never works)

Big Guy - or The Big Guy - is good.

It’s what Zohorny means in Late Common Slavic. Just language nerd stuff.

Guys..... small sample size is small. I love what I'm seeing from him in this limited time, too. But don't fall in love with him until he lights it up in the playoffs ala 2017 Guentzel.

Big Z and Zohorny make the most sense. It's what I've been calling him for his 4 games, thus I am set it my ways and will actively fight against other nicknames. #unity.

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

Big Sid's Winger

 

[Gallatin]

Got to be Radio-Z right? Although I do like Zoho.

 

[Extra Texture]

Sullivan called him Z in the postgame, but I didn't hear any other nicknames or references from the players.

I kind of like Radim the Dream, which came up a few times in the thread.

Zorro is damn good. So too is ZoHo.

But "Radim the Dream" is the f***ing best. Can't remember who originally dropped that one in a PGT. Given last night's goal, I think he also has his own kind of special Dream Shake, slashing inside on a dmen who mistake him for some plodding AHL lurch.

I loved the "lets get Horny, me so Horny" etc stuff for PH, but honestly thinking about him in Florida gets me all misty, so I kind of want to hang those ones up for good and open a new chapter in Pens lore.

Example:

Or if that's not doing it for you:

Well, now I'm calling him the Matterhorn.

 

[KIRK]

In hindsight, I regret the Zohorny name. Comparing the guy to someone so pedestrian as Hornqvist is a blasphemy.

My two votes:

Z

(a guy that good needs no more than an initial to be identified)

or

ZOD

(a reference to his godhood, not an homage to Superman 2)

 

[SomeDude]

Oula Palve, but better.

Also, if he ever gets a little time at C, I pray we get to see the big Z line

Zucker--ZoHo--ZAR

it's too good not to work.

 

[TooManyHumans]

I kind of like what my friend called him when he scored: Who the f*** is that?

Now I know where to go for all of my Late Common Slavic translating.

Now I know where to go for all of my Late Common Slavic translating.

Just don't ask me for Balto-Slavic stuff or Proto-Indo-European. Way above my paygrade, even when I had delusions of being a linguist.

 

[gopens66]

Alright. Big Z is obviously the one that has stuck, but some have pointed out that it’s unimaginative.

Are we going with ZoHorny?

EROD called him big guy during the celebration?

How about taxi squad?
