Winnipeg Jets Look-A-Like Contest: Celebrity Doppelgangers
Cole Perfetti and Jeremy Renner
Look-a-like rating (out of 10): About a 7.
Summary: I am limited by copyright infringement, so a true likeliness of Perfetti that will fortify the comparison can be found here. Hopefully Perfetti can carve himself out a larger role than “Hawkeye” did, as he takes aim at his rookie season.
Other Similarities: One of them fought Vision in Marvel movies, and the other has great vision (low-hanging fruit, I know). Cole Perfetti is an elite playmaker and sees the game in a way that is rare in the NHL.
On Cole Perfetti: He has to work on his skating, but otherwise has fit in nicely with Dubois and Wheeler. I would love to see him paired with Scheifele and Ehlers (when Ehlers returns) to maximize his playmaking, as he and Wheeler have duplicative skill sets at this stage of their careers.
Rutger McGroarty and Shane Doan
Look-a-like rating: This has to be a 10.
Summary: I came across this likeness some time ago, and spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to find some type of genetic lineage between these two. Alas, I found none. A true father and son look-a-like, it almost seems like a shame they are not related.
Other Similarities: This is where things get eerie. Both profile as prototypic power forwards with a scoring touch, and both are heavy on the puck. The Jets would do well to get a career from McGroarty that mirrors that of Doan.
On Rutger McGroarty: Want to know how Rutger is doing thus far this year? We got you covered. Besides having an epic name, Rutger has blossomed in Michigan and can be seen on Twitter pancaking opponents in the neutral zone. The future is bright with this young man.
