Official Jets Nickname thread

[Gump Hasek]

"Burmistop" because he is where plays go to die

Alexander the Terrible

 

[Puckatron 3000]

It's gotta be Hatrick. Sorry guys, no other choice.

Morrissey has to be MoJo because that's just the coolest nic evar4realz!!1!

Don't like Lurch because it seems kinda mean spirited instead of funny. Don't like names that caricature a person's appearance.

Love Byuck****. Thorburn immortalized that one.

4th line Jesus or the Rabbi are both epic.

The Condor is also fantastic.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

I remember calling Scheif "Shuffles" once or twice, but that may have just been me.

 

[FishWhiskey]

Bryan Little - Biggie

Burmistrov - WTF - because that's what I yell at least once every time he is on the ice.

Nik Ehlers - Cinnamon Danish - cuz he play hockey "Soooooo Sweet"

Brandon Tanev - Pacino - Because he looked just like Tony Montana after that scrap with Gemel Smith night before last...... https://youtu.be/brPg1c3Qxzg

Marko Dano - Book 'em....... and if you put him on a line with Copp you could call it the "Five-O" line

Jacob Trouba - Trouble - "Here comes Trouble, wait don't run, this kinda Trouble is lots of fun!"

And last but not least, Patrik Laine. I am a Big Lebowski fan and when he had his long hair last year we started calling him Karl Hungus at my favourite sports bar and it stuck.

As the Dude said "How ya gonna keep em down on the farm after they seen Karl Hungus?"

 

[FishWhiskey]

Ohhhh, and if Karl Hungus keeps on pumpin in goals three a night they will soon be referring to Jets fans as "Men Without Hats". They should just play this song every time he nails a hatty at home games....https://youtu.be/AjPau5QYtYs

 

[CaptainChef]

If i remember correctly Wheeler was calling Ehlers "Fly" last year when he tweeted about him.

Really like "Finnisher" for Laine

Edit: I forgot about Buckf**k. Best name ever!!

Nah, it was Hellybuyck = Buck-buck (as in the chicken clucking)

 

[Hobble]

Master Schef, dishing out tasty dishes to Electric Ehl and Hatrick Blimey (-he's good!).

[Festinator]

Tiny Toby for Enstrom, cute nickname for cute little toby c:

 

[DharmaBum]

Not a nickname but I got a kick out of a thread title, I believe on the Rangers board entitled "Big Trouba in Little Winnipeg"

Jeez, if he played in Regina that could almost be a porn title!

 

[Jet]

Where does that one come from?

It just happened organically on the forum. In his first season, we were talking about how excited Schiefele always looked and someone called him Brighteyes.

I actually called him that at his golf tournament and he laughed... pretty sure he peruses this board.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Don't like Lurch because it seems kinda mean spirited instead of funny. Don't like names that caricature a person's appearance.

Awww, I mean, you DO have to admit that the physical resemblance IS uncanny:

But seriously, it's more a "lovable king-sized lug" kinda thing. Gentle giant, ya know? IDK. I sure never mean anything but fun with it.

 

[Georgetown Al*]

Magic Maurice just heard Lawless more or less say it.

 

[DharmaBum]

He's always reminded me a bit of Pacey from Dawsons Creek

 

[Trilliann]

Sorry y'all: the NSFW rules apply to GIFs and images too.

Ahh Of course!

Another try , Tanev - Pacino

 

[Trilliann]

 

[WinnipegWinter*]

Ahh Of course!

Another try , Tanev - Pacino

Shocking resemblance..

 

[Evil Little]

Who's got a link to the Buyck**** interview?

I think it should be in this thread, for posterity's sake.

Edit--Here we are (NSFW, saucy language): https://streamable.com/as11

 

[Gurilla]

The Policeman/Officer Andy for Copp please.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Buck****

Buyckfuyck apparently.

 

[FishWhiskey]

The Policeman/Officer Andy for Copp please.

If you have Copp and Burmi on the same line could you call them "Good Copp and Bad Cop?"

I just heard one from Patti Swanson. She calls Laine "Puck Finn"

 

[FishWhiskey]

Ahh Of course!

Another try , Tanev - Pacino

Say hello to my little friend!

Patrik Laine new nickname 'TOP GUN'

According to whom I know associated with the Winnipeg Jets was at the Heritage Gala and most Winnipeg Jet players were in attendance past and present.

During the event they brought up the Jets brand and how excited many players were of seeing the vintage WHA/NHL Jets logo and they were talking about the whiteout, Danger Zone intro song, Jump,etc (Jets players thought it was great to hear the song again at Jets games. Few players even said every time they hear Jump the Winnipeg Jets come to mind)

So I believe it was Selanne during a video montage referred to his Bossy record goal post celebration move with a nickname coming from his days in Finland. I did not know this but he mentioned he has done that shooting gun in the past.

And when nicknames came up with Kurri/Selanne. Teemu Selanne said Patrik Laine should not be known as 'Finnish Flash' but in the theme of Jets nostalgia he should be called 'TOP GUN'

And current Jets players have apparently been picking up on it. So I would expect you to hear that as Patrik Laine's nickname and not Finnish Flash.
