Why do Wild teammates call Mikael Granlund, "Bruuuuuuce"
At the end of the postgame Game 3 celebration video, when Granlund walked into the room, teammates started calling him, “Bruuuuuuce.”
Players call Parise, “Brinks,” as in “Brinks” trucks. Mike Rupp brought it to the Wild from New Jersey, where Parise and Rupp were teammates.
“One day we’re sitting at breakfast and I was walking away and Granny called me, ‘Springs,’” Parise said, laughing. “I’m like, ‘What did you call me?’ He goes, ‘Springs.’ I go, ‘What is that?’ He goes, ‘Isn’t that what everyone calls you?’ I go, ‘No, no, they call me Brinks.’ He goes, ‘Oh, I thought it was Springs, like Bruce Springsteen’ [because I played in New Jersey,” Parise said, hysterically laughing.
“That’s how nicknames get started. We started calling him Bruce. He does not look like a Bruce at all, so that’s what makes it better.”
