Fourth Line-

The fourth line includes the world’s greatest tweeter in Michael Grabner, a newbie, and Jesper Fast.

Michael Grabner- Late for Work

David Desharnais- Dunkin’

Jesper Fast- Quickie

If you’re wondering about Michael Grabner’s nickname, please consult this article. It should provide the context that I am not able to provide here.

David Desharnais has a ‘D’ to start both his first and last name, and so does Dunkin’ Donuts. Listen, they can’t all be great nicknames. Brett Gardner’s nickname for the Yankees is literally “Gardner.”

Jesper Fast has been nicknamed “Quickie” for years now, so there’s no reason for us to stray from it. I also enjoy there being a Quickie on Michael Grabner’s line, without it being Grabner himself. I certainly think Grabner wins that race.
