Oiler Player Nicknames

[Cawz]

I heard Russel refer to Bomber and Drats in his post game interview. Drats is obviously Draisaitl and Bomber is Klefbom (took me a few minutes to figure that one out but seems pretty obvious afert the fact). Are there any other nicknames that the players call eachother? I’m pretty sure they don’t call McDavid McJesus (at least I hope not).

I like Drats. Reminds me of Slats.

I feel like I've heard Pouliot and Benning called Benny.

 

[Spawn]

I've heard Davo for McDavid, and McLellan has definitely called Pouliot Poo.

 

[McMatty]

Russell = Rusty ... I think

 

[Cawz]

Reggie = Sekera
Big Rig

Does anyone know where these ones come from?

Is Big Rig just becasue he's big and plays in Alberta, or did he have that name in Anaheim (where Rig may be in reference to a truck)?

Reggie is from the "Rej" in Andrej I believe. No clue about where Big Rig comes from.

Ah, makes sense. Is Andrej pronounced And"reg"?

Fitting.

Spike.

Who is Big Earl? I saw the hockey sticks with that name on it during one game where they panned over the bench... maybe it was Big Rig?

Gryba is Big Earl.

 

[duul]

McDavid's nickname is Davo.

I vote we nickname Larsson whatever is Swedish for 'Gator'.

 

[The Nuge]

I vote we nickname Larsson whatever is Swedish for 'Gator'.

It's appears the Swedish term for Gator is... Gator

 

[Jet Walters]

We should start calling Larrson Ragnarök because he signals the end of the rush for opposing forwards. Plus he's been a rock back there.

 

[McDNicks17]

Adam Ironside.

 

[Oilmageddon]

Do they call RNH Nuge?

Ryan Jones called him Nugget, but I don't think he like that one!

That's an insult to Larsson. He is a far superior player to Jason Smith.

 

[Grey Poupon*]

I have a feeling the next Oiler's nickname will be "Jordy" or Stall-sie". Something super-unoriginal like that.

I'm flabbergasted that Coach Koala managed to bastardize Andrej Sekera to Reji. That takes some nerve to start that. Good on him.

A coach in Buffalo gave him that nickname years and years ago if I'm remembering correctly.

Because hockey players and coaches are painful dullards when it comes to nicknames.

Maybe 80% of player nicknames = player last name plus y or sy? Really?

see what I did there

I'm pretty sure they call Larsson Lars.
