Nickname for Lars Eller: At first I was leaning towards the Great Dane..now I'm thinking The Viking - it seems to fit his playing style.

Yeah, we're getting ahead of ourselves giving the guy a nickname already, but it's all in good fun.

Great Dane. Although I think it's okay to use both every once in awhile. Mix it up a bit.

Viking makes me think too much of The Techno Viking(Berglund)....The Great Dane gets my vote.

Selanne is the Finnish Flash.

Eller is the Danish Dash.

Don't really like any nickname in hockey with the word Great in it. The Great One should be left alone to one person, just like the #99.

The Viking!

Heh - for some reason that doesn't sound manly enough. Good play on words though.

The Viking.

I hear ya - Great Eight is Ovechkin's nickname, but he wears number 8. Great Dane could be Eller's nickname, but he's Danish. The Great One doesn't single out a particular number, ethnicity, or team and that's what makes it truly unique; therefore, I think that's an important distinction. Interesting debate though.

I like "The Viking", but the "Great Dane" is nice too. Not sure about the "great" part just yet but he's definitely playing like he wants a permanent spot on this team.

Another factor is that he's like the only Danish player in the NHL so it would be a little more special I think.

Danish Dash.
(Other than Perron, Kariya, and McDonald, he looks like he's the fastest player on the team).

or

Danish Destroyer.
(He looks like a mixture of Perron and Backes to me with all of those hits and quick moves.)

Mikkel Boedker for Phoenix is from Denmark as well.
