*Buzzsaw* Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Since there is nothing better to do I thought I'd throw out a random question for all us EP40 fans. What's a good nickname? Add your suggestion. I think they call him 'Petter' or 'Peter' in the locker room... but what do we call him when we want to emphasize his skills... Like "The Great Gretzky" or "Alexander the Great", or "Rocket Richard", or "The Golden Jet", etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Wellwood Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Pretty sure Sutter has called him 'Petey' in BTS videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I like Swedish Gretzky (obvious reasons) EP40 also (he's helping the team shine and helps shed the proverbial rust so the machine can work, shout out to WD40) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Probably Petey by his teammates or something along with the "alien" terms that have been thrown around with him, but with most fans, I'm pretty sure EP40 will be the one to stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 "The Great One" That Gretzky guy can just change his nickname to "The Canadian Pettersson" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Pistol Pete is dope, but it's been used for an athlete before. Going with EP40 for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I liked hearing Sutter call him Petey. I don't think I have the clout to call him that to his face though. I assume this is something we refer to him on CDC? That's up to each individual person. I like EP40. Simple, easy. Off topic, I would have preferred he went with 14 even though I get with Burr just recently retiring he did it outta respect but I dunno. I like 14 on him. EP14 doesn't quite have the same ring though, maybe 40 was the good choice. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustNazzy Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 In Sweden they called him Alien. I like it because when they play against Tom Wilson, it would be Alien vs. Predator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whaleroad Train Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Not a serious suggestion but he should be called beartrap - because if you are not careful near him he will break your ankles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putgolzin Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I think it's already settled that his nickname is Alien. Sometimes nicknames are just correct whether we like them or not. PENTICTON — An Alien has landed deep in the smoke-induced haze which has made the Okanagan look like an intergalactic-themed movie set this summer. The good kind of alien. The kind who could help save millions of tortured souls who have spent the better part of nearly 50 years wishing upon a star the Vancouver Canucks will one day win it all. The kind with the Earth name Elias Pettersson, a player whose teammates started calling Alien because it was the only way to explain the otherworldly skills they saw pour from him night after night last year. “I’d be lying if I told you I hadn’t heard that one,” Pettersson says, smiling. “It puts some pressure on me, but I'm used to pressure. I like challenges. I think I'm a guy there should be a lot of pressure on. I think I'm the guy who can do it, who can produce many points."

yes we can nucks Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 How about ET, in keeping with the alien theme? Or simply EP as a variation of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
