U18: 2018 U18 WJC Gold Medal game Finland vs USA game talk.

[Hockeyisl1fe]

Actually yes, because I mostly watch NHL-hockey so I'm used to foreign broadcasters' pronunciation of European names.

So you don't have a problem of mispronouncing names but at the same time you do, logic.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

so you like more foreign broadcaster raping finnish names?

The finnish broadcaster also talks way too f***ing much, blaa blaaa blaa "oh someone got a penalty, who/what/why??" blaablaablaa

 

[Jugitsu]

Probably not, i think he gets ticked off because how he (they) say(s) Hughes name and i have to agree,
i almost yell each time his name out loud how its suppose to say correctly, every time he says it wrong .

Not just Hughes. He also pretty much butchers Knight and Giles too.

At least he's being clearly a homer. US national broadcasts rarely try to sound like they favor one over another.

 

[razor ray]

Tied game going into the 3rd for the gold medal....nice

I have a problem with my fellow countrymen butchering names that should be very easy to pronounce and I expect some sort of professionalism in that regard.

Well....i have to disagree...the way they butcher for example Tuukka Rask's name....
even thou i don't like Mäkinen much (VIASAT), i still prefer him than most of the original
ones.

How the f*** they get rääsk from rask is beyond me, i'd gladly accept räsk,
but not rääsk, for crying out loud.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Not just Hughes. He also pretty much butchers Knight and Giles too.

Actually...he made one mistake with Giles, rest has been correct, also...i haven't heard him say the K,
not many times at least, he gets that name correct too.

I don't honestly watch that many Bruins' games to be bothered by it. Haven't ever really paid any attention to it.

Weird. I haven't heard him say Knight right even once.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Can't keep making those high-risk low-reward plays.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Tanus has really impressed me, always seems to find time and space to make the calm rational choice

Your standard 'skilled but too small' player.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

No excuse for offensive zone penalties.

 

[Jugitsu]

Accidental obviously but shouldn't happen. Hope the Finns can capitalize on that.

 

[Teemu]

Knight looking sharp

 

[Jugitsu]

Finnish youngsters not being able to score on grade A scoring chances doesn't surprise me.

 

[Esko6]

Knight on fire and lucky too

 

[Loffer]

Antoni Honka will decide this game, in good (if not in worse). Mark my w.ords

 

[ijuka]

As is tradition.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Nordgren gave a suicide pass to Kakko but Kakko still made a play. He's been impressive.

 

[ijuka]

Epic penalty

 

[BB88]

Can't take a more stupid penalty than this.

Which means a goal for USA.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Tough.. Must-kill PK.

 

[Esko6]

Finland was pretty dominant in the first ten minutes, shame they did not score
