WJC: 2021 Canada Roster Talk Part 2

[CallMeShaft]

I'm actually with CallMeShaft in this one. There L is walk is not silent, has an alk sound, where in Doc it's a ock sound.

Thank you for making me not think I'm crazy.

Yeah, Dach (pronounced Doc or Dock), in my mind, rhymes with rock, sock, jock, mock, stock, etc.

Very similar, but not quite the same.

Edit: going to elaborate a touch more here.

Stalk rhymes with walk. Stock rhymes with dock. But 'stalk' and 'stock' are two different words pronounced differently (although very close to one another).

The L in walk isn't silent?

I've never heard it pronounced any other way in my entire life.


When is the first game again?

This is a new one to me also.

You can become experts at anything on HFboards. First it was epidemiology, then it was aircraft logistics. Now it's linguistics

This made me LIRL.

 

[Statsy]

The L is 100% silent in walk. This reminds me of the Family Guy episode where they are talking about pronouncing the H in Cool Whip.

Maybe we need to do a poll on this.

Maybe the coaching feels that Dach can dominate more offensively on the wing without the pressure to play a two way center man's game.

While I think Dach would have no issue at center I feel like he can flourish more on the wing than Cozens could. Cozens is still a great choice for the #1 center.

Realistically they’ll both end up taking draws at various points in the tournament.

That’s the nature of playing for Team Canada, sometimes you need to play a different position for the good of the team.

Yes but does Cozens rhyme with dozens, or is it pronounced like Cousins?

Exactly!

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

The 'oc' and the 'alk' sounds aren't quite the same (at least to me they aren't), but it's close enough that I'd imagine most wouldn't argue with it. It's all really just f***ing semantics and doesn't matter at all.

Its not semantics. Semantics is concerned with meaning not (rhyming) sounds the same or not.

More pertinent is the proper linguistic pronunciation of Drysdale. Does it rhyme with Clydesdale? Show your work.

Both are work horses.

Beat that.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Do you guys pronounce Talk and tock the same way?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

walk
dock

So even with the 8 germans out the tournament is still a go

Come hell or high water baby this is going down.

Touche.

The 8 Germans aren't out of the tournament. The whole team has to isolate until the 24th and then presumably they all get to play.

My feeling is that there might be a miscommunication regarding how many of the 8 Germans are actually players. I’ve heard a report from the Germans saying they were part of the “delegation”. That could be their stick boy for all we know. If it’s 8 actual players, I don’t understand how they still have a team.

Lets be real, as long as it's not Stutzle and Peterka they're both playing 30 minutes per game anyway. As long as they have 2 goalies, the 13 other skaters can divide the ice time nicely.

The IIHF put out a release that point blank states it was 8 players. There are also tweets out there now that the 8 players are going to be allowed to play after finishing quarantine on the 24th.

Sure but my point was that the IIHF release might be incorrect. It depends if they have the same people writing those that are in charge of the scoring plays in the games.

Hopefully they’ll all be good to go and we can continue without incident, but this is certainly getting more sketchy than I was hoping for.

Studs. All 3 WHL players at one point, good Western Canadian boys.

The ladies in Colorado are going to be tripping over themselves to meet Bo down there when he joins the Avalanche after this tournament.

Handsome young man and one heck of a hockey player.

Hopefully we have a team to play an exhibition game against on the 21st. I’m hockey starved right now.

 

[Gold Standard]

hilarious. the correct pronunciation of Canadian player surnames has gone viral and international. on a Russian website a poster took issue with how the site transliterated Cozens.

Man, we got to get games quick before we all lose our shit.

As someone who has been called Bowen Byram’s indetical twin, your post brings me much joy good sir
