Create A Nickname For Jordan Leopold

The nicknames for Colorado Avalanche players are many and varied.  First, there are the simple ones: Bruno, Smytty, Boots, Lappy, Skratch.

Then, there are the cooler ones: Super Joe, Son Of Stastny, The Duke, Stylin' Liles, Domo Arigato Mr. Svatos.

Unfortunately left out of all of the nickname fun has been oft-injured but never-missed Avalanche defenseman Jordan Leopold.  After some prompting by MHH member Dario in the comments section of this post, I've decided it's time for us to create a nickname befitting such an important member of the Avalanche scratch list.

I'm not sure I have any really great suggestions, but what immediately comes to mind any time I read or write the name "Jordan Leopold" is the old Bugs Bunny episode "Long-Haired Hare," in which Bugs impersonates famous conductor Leopold Stokowski.

At the 4:50 mark, Bugs enters the orchestra pit at an opera and instantly the musicians whisper his "name" in awe and amazement: "Leopold.  Leopold.  Leopold!"

Though that doesn't exactly help with creating a nickname for Jordan Leopold, it's still fun to watch.  I digress.

So what do we know about Jordan Leopold?

  1. He's injured all the time.
  1. He's fair skinned.
  1. He wears number 44.
  1. He's not as sexy as John-Michael Liles (who is?)
  1. He's injured ALL THE TIME.

Hopefully that's enough to inspire some good ideas.  Please submit your brilliant nickname suggestions and after a couple of days I'll create a poll---we'll vote and determine the best one.  The rest of the season, I'll dutifully refer to Leopold by that nickname, and we'll see if it sticks.

Suggest some good ones, you clever geniuses.

Re: Create A Nickname For Jordan Leopold
My first. Joritol, like Geritol because he's brittle.  Not my best effort but that's my first jab.  I'll think of more.

Leopold the Lame!  (reference to the Austrian kings)

Re: hmmm

I think Err Jordan is pretty solid.  I'll include that one in the poll.

more:

keeping in that vein, maybe Repair Jordan or Tear Jordan...I dunno.  I'm no good at this stuff.

Excellent

I think "Tear Jordan" is the best one yet.  Definitely going in the poll.

Austrian kings?

That's WAY to obscure for this team.

Re: Austrian kings?

i said i wasn't good at this  :p

oh

I like it, just obscure...

Since Joe has the bugs bunny video up, while talking about Leo, considering his history I suggest...

Jordan "What's Up Doc?" Leo

Re: Create A Nickname For Jordan Leopold
Leoprone
Malopold (er Spanish?)
(DL)eopold
Curse of Tangauy
Curse of Calgary
(dl)opeol
GotMilkepold?

On a roll

"Leoprone" is very good, and so is "(DL)eopold", even though it's really tough to say.

I think they'll both end up in the poll.

by Joe Dunman on Nov 1, 2007 11:39 AM MDT up reply actions  

I second

the (DL)eopold nomination!  Good stuff.

How about Mr. Glass (the villian from Unbreakable)?
Jordan "Injured Reserve" Leopold?
Lacerated Leopold?

Nothing's better

Nothing is better than "Leoprone", I can't compete with that. Well done

Re: Oh no he didn't

How about another Looney Tunes reference?  Jordan LePewepold.
