It’s hard for me to keep posting while standing behind the bench, but I’ll do my best.

It's 2025. I wouldn't be surprised if you're posting just by thinking into a brain implant that's connected to the in-arena WiFi.

 

[Luolis]

I feel like Finland has a goalie problem.

 

[NyQuil]

Eww. Call the guys by how they pronounce their name. Don't just make shit up - that's unprofessional. Especially for one of the best defensive defensemen in the last 15 years.

Remember when it was “Kovalchuck”but then all the broadcasters switched to “Kovalchook”, and then he said he wanted to be “Kovalchuck” again?

I’m actually a sophisticated Russian bot.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Arvidsson is cooked. Should have brought Backlund.

 

[agent082]

Rantanen isn't first line player.

 

[NyQuil]

Laid up on the hit there.

Could have pasted him through the boards.

Then the question has to be asked:
"How many Chooks can a Kovalchuk chuck, if a Kovalchuk could chuck Chooks?"

 

[93gilmour93]

Don't worry, Finland isn't done. They are going to start laying the body more and get Jen all worked up.

Jen ranting with her vision for a nice, happy and loving NHL....

Get back to vacuuming then.

This bothers me to no end too. Our play-by-play announcer for the Coyotes (and now for Utah) refused to even acknowledge that the "HJ" at the front of Niklas Hjalmarsson's name is not pronounced the same way that we say the letter J in English. No effort whatsoever to get it right.

Generally for me it's, if your language has the sound -> lazy, if your language does not -> forgivable.

I think that it's just not very right that a commentator who's being paid to commentate professionally cannot be bothered to look up how the players' names should be said.

Even now, they still pronounce Aho as "Aaho" instead of Aho, but at least it's better than pronouncing his name as "A hoe" like they used to.

 

[Stalhandske]

Watching this Swedish team really makes me miss the Sedins who create sustained pressure on demand.

 

[lakai17]

Typical Euro hockey. No rivalry feeling at all. We need Russia back.

 

[NyQuil]

We’ve really liked Matinpalo in Ottawa.

Our coaching staff just has a hard on for Hamonic for some reason.

 

[Bocephus86]

Everyone hated him by Edwards used to track down visiting players to confirm how to pronounce their names. Wish there was more of that minimal effort.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Liking Laine a lot. I think this tournament helps him turn a new leaf for the habs

 

[Summer Rose]

Get back to vacuuming then.

Are you saying that he sucks?

 

[The Blue Baron]

Rantanen isn't first line player.

Ok we get it, you don’t like Rants.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Not only that, but they also flopped on demand.
Uncanny abilities those two had.

 

[Fatass]

I feel like Finland has a goalie problem.

So do Sweden and Canada.

 

[Bounces R Way]

The Count of Matinpalo
gotta be honest I've never even heard of this guy

Ummm not so sure. I’ve seen this dog and pony show one to many times as a Jets fan.

 

[FinPanda]

Shame Sweden has a goalie now

Are you sure? I think there may be too much contact there for Jen

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Lundell is a very good player, he just doesn't get the headlines because Florida top 6 is so stacked he needs to play on the 3rd line.

Don't expect Sportsnet to know who he is.

"How many Chooks can a Kovalchuk chuck, if a Kovalchuk could chuck Chooks?"

Enough with the war mongering.
