Oilers Training Camp Update
After watching much of the Oilers' training camp, including rookie games and Joey Moss Cup, I thought it would be appropriate to think about some fun ways to refer to our players. Thus, I have some Oilers' jokes and nicknames.Newest Oiler jokes:
1. What did the coach say when he wanted the rookie to be a better team player?
Answer: Make like the Cogs in the machine!
2. What did the coach say to the player heading to the press box?
Answer: Don't make me Paukovich!!!
3. Who in the Oilers' organization has the least funny name?
Answer: Phillipe Cornet
I have come up with some nicknames for some of the Oilers and Oilers' hopefuls:
David Rohlfs - Rohlfcopter (or ROFLcopter, for those of you familiar with Internet Lingo)
Erik Cole - The Slaw (as in Cole Slaw)
Geoff Paukovich - The Headhunter, or Highlander
Marc-Andre Bernier - A.L.I.A.B (At Least I Aint Bergeron!)
Toby LaFrance - The Revolution, or Viva Toby, or Wine and Cheese, or Cup of T, or French Fry
Phillipe Cornet - The Comedian (see Oilers' joke #3)
Glenn Fisher - The Apostle (refer to the gospel)
Ales Hemsky - Hemmertime
Shawn Horcoff - Tuberculosis (I don't want to explain this one... but jesting and jokes aside, I believe Horcoff is the future captain after Ethan Moreau)
Sheldon Souray - S-squared
Lubomir Visnovsky - V-Nov
...
I'm out of ideas.
Just a thought: If Gilbert Brule were female, and he married Tom Gilbert, wouldn't his name be Gilbert Gilbert?

i'm a firm believer that Dustin Penner should just be called D.P. It's perfect.

I fancy the nickname Locomotive for D.P., but I think he has to steamroll some guys before I give it to him. For now, I will agree that D.P. is perfect.

shouldn't Steve Staios be s-squared as well?
I have an Oilers joke, albeit incredibly lame...well it's more like a random thought than it is a joke...
If Mellon Arena is called the Igloo and is home to the Penguins, shouldn't Rexall Place be called Fort McMurray then?
Get it? Fort McMurray. oil sands. Oilers...haha

"i'm a firm believer that Dustin Penner should just be called D.P. It's perfect."
I was at the game last night and I heard some guy yell "Go D.P!" and it reminded me of this blog.
