“The Edmonton Oilers put their faith in their lord and second coming, Connor McJesus.” We’ve heard the nickname since June, when the Oilers drafted Connor McDavid the first round. This kid has been being watched since he turned 13, and now, he was ready to become the next greatest player since Wayne Gretzky.
Though fans mean well with the nickname “McJesus,” implying that he is the Oilers second coming and that he is going to lead the Oilers to heights they have not seen in the past nine years, it is getting a bit absurd, to the point where we need to come up with a new nickname for Connor McDavid.
