It may have come to your attention that Jamie Oleksiak is almost freakishly tall. When I say almost freakishly tall, I mean he is slightly shorter than Zdeno Chara, but still taller than every single other player on the Stars. The official roster lists him at 6’7″ (and we know the roster is never wrong).
The Bearded Ladies love us some Big Rig (how could you not, that is literally the best nickname), so enjoy some pictures of Jamie O. standing next to other people. Think not of the last terrible game, worry not about the next game. Drink some eggnog, hug a loved one, pet a dog, open a present or two, eat some delicious food, and look at these hilarious pics.
It all started with a boy and his draft photo.
No word on how tall or short these gentleman may be, but Oleksiak could comfortably tuck either one of them under his chin.
Actually, before that it all started with a boy and the combine. This lady comes up to his arm pit. That’s it. Just his arm pit.
We’re going to ignore the hat and the lack of eyebrows and instead look at his enormous mitt on this lady’s shoulder.

This woman says she’s 5′ and I don’t disbelieve her.
But this woman says she’s 5’2″ so someone might have done some math wrong.

According to legend, Oleksiak’s pretty shy. It might be that no one can hear him from way up there.

No idea how tall these ladies are, but they’re clearly very excited.
This is a still taken from a video where Jamie shops at Whole Foods. I mean, he does other things as well. If you are so inclined, here’s a link. Either way, that lady behind him probably reaches his navel.
This guy couldn’t find a box to stand on or what.
Or this guy, what the hell.
He even makes other hockey players look short.
That’s Cody McLeod of the Colorado Avalanche. The roster says he’s 6’2″ but he sure doesn’t look it.
Head and shoulders above the hockey hug.
Every hockey hug. All of them.

I hope you’ve had almost as much fun looking at these pics as I did finding them on google. Enjoy your three day respite from this heart wrenching game. (On the one hand, there’s no NHL hockey so you’ll probably end up with Hallmark Christmas specials. On the other, at least the Stars can’t break your heart on Christmas! If they’re airing it in your area, try to check out the World Juniors tournament.) From both the Bearded Ladies to you and yours, a safe and happy holiday season!
