Heard the most seizure-inducing name butchering in last night's Flames vs Isles game

[Master Bill]

Was laughing my ass off when I heard this. Is this the worst name butchering you've heard during a live broadcast?

Nice to see the Swedish chef branching out.

 

[hangman005]

Sounds like the kind of butchering I'd do....

Then I again I have a stroke every time I try to spell Lechyshyshynsnchn

 

[jetsforever]

He seemed to forget there were vowels in that name.

 

[Tanknation]

Don't even know what goalie he is trying to say, or what goalie that actually is. Was that Varlamov?
Calgary just needs to play Markstrom moving forward.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

LMFAO awesome.

Not on a live broadcast, but Brad Doty is probably my all-time fave.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I don’t miss him

 

[BLNY]

Not-so-good ole Greg Millen.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

 

[Power Surge]

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

[Kane One]

Nice to see the Swedish chef branching out.

lmfao that reminds me of this gem:

 

[Beantown Beatdown]

sounded like a dick in his mouth

What are you, 12??

 

[cudi]

 

[teugen]

What are you, 12??

I guess I am then.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Sounds drunk.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

I still get a kick outta the fact that Tony Lydman (loodman) and Henrik Tallinder (Taleender) casually corrected the Sabres broadcast team after like 2 seasons of incorrect pronunciation. Only in hockey.

Anywho, sounds like me getting ahead of myself teaching an English class. Happens.

 

[Hockeyskanks]

LMAO

 

[swiftwin]

Don't forget Alfsivfversson:



Started wrong with "Alf", then got it right when he started saying "Silfver", but then went back to Alfredsson?

 

[Sinter Klaas]

Don Cherry used to butcher names left and right, but only the Russian and Soviet-Bloc players. Famously, he would be corrected and still would mispronounce them, many say on purpose.

 

[cannucky]

Yeah it only took him 32 games to pronounce Kadri , you would think the home town announcer would ask them how to say their names . After 13 years of pro hockey his name is pretty well known around the league eh , even if it is often spoken with an expletive in front of it lol , yet this guy was calling him Kaldlri with 2 L sounds in it for some weird reason .

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

When I heard this live I was laughing for a good 5 minutes straight. Poor Millen, that was a bad one.

 

[Ghost of Arbour]

We NYI fans are used to Butch destroying names, the english language ("blindlessly" used this week to describe a pass) so we are kind of used to hearing this stuff.

 

[biturbo19]

That's hilarious. I know i've had hilarious, embarrassing tongue-tied moments like that in my life...but then again, i'm not paid to be a professional talker and user of words.
