Nicknames of the Winnipeg Jets
Kyle Connor --- "KC"
Kyle Connor is lovingly called KC by his teammates. It's short for Casey, the lovable puppet on Mr. Dressup, which Kyle is the spitting image of. Kyle is also known for bringing his velour dog "Finnegan" to most practices. Finnegan provides most of the frozen "pucks" the team uses to practice with.
Mark Scheifele --- "Scheif the Knife"
Little known fact... Mark Scheifele is never caught without his switch blade. Whether he's using it to pick meat out of his teeth or just having a friendly game of "Chicken" with his buddy Connor Hellebuyck, he's always bringing a laugh to the locker room. Bonus points if you also knew his second nickname is "Flea".
Patrik Laine --- "Patty"
Patrik's nickname comes from his love of hamburgers. He eats one every chance he gets. 'Nuff said.
Nikolaj Ehlers --- "Fly"
Little Nikki Ehlers goes by the name of "Fly" because of his deep love of all things sugar. He's seen constantly licking his fingers after filling his face with chocolate bars, lollipops and pure table sugar. Nik is also called "Goat Boy" by some fans.
Blake Wheeler --- "Wheels"
After exhaustive research, I couldn't find out why Blake's nickname is "Wheels".
Jack Roslovic --- "Rosie"
The story with Jack Roslovic is that he was named after his favourite town in Manitoba, Rosenort. I think the real reason he got his nickname is actually from his penchant for bringing roses to Connor Hellebuyck before every game. (Connor loves it!)
Connor Hellebuyck --- "Jellybuck"
The hottest goalie in the league (number one for saves, goals against and twitchy eyes) is nicknamed "Jellybuck" simply because it rhymes. Paul Maurice sometimes calls him "Casey" when he mixes him up with Kyle Connor.

Finally! Somebody who sees Hellebuyck for who he is! John Zaplitny of Carman, Manitoba makes some great points - including one I hadn't thought of - Paul Maurice must go too. Paul Maurice has become the epitome of stubbornness when it comes to Connie Hellebuyck. Paul, just because you made a mistake in backing him for so long doesn't mean you can't change your mind and get rid of Hellebuyck now. In fact, why don't you put Bryan Little in goal? He seems to like taking pucks to the head. Maybe while we're at it we should get rid of all the Hellebuyck cheerleaders - Maurice, Cheveldayoff, Beyak and Sawyer.
I had a disturbing email from a new fan of crang.com. He asks:
"What's with the lag time between Hellebuyck bashing? Seems like you're taking a break. Have you been threatened, are you in fear for your life?? Has Big Bad Buff and his boyfriend paid you a visit? 😉 I’m here for ya buddy, hang in there don’t let the man stop you from bashing Hellebuyck!"
RR
Thanks for the words of encouragement RR. I thought I was preaching in the darkness. I'll try to come up with more ways to bash Hellebuyck. But speaking of Big Bad Buff, what's the deal? Are the Jets just going to pretend he doesn't exist? Tell us what's happening! After all, we pay his salary...
"I liked a lot of my game"
Are you kidding me?
He liked a lot of his game? A comment like this is proof positive this guy needs to be dumped. Letting in 5 goals out of 31 shots is more than unacceptable Connor... it's bush league. At least you've made it easy for Laurent Brossoit to get top spot. It's just too damn bad that Chevy isn't such a genius after all and signed such a ridiculous contract with such a flash in the pan.
