Geez gotta make it complicated

How about Ah-bey. Is that close enough?

No we must pronounce the Nordic way. If you can't pronounce Åberg, then you must pronounce Eyjafjallajökull.

How about calling him by His second name, Keith? Or use his nickname The Pope.

No problem.

His second name is Keith?

Eyjafjallajökull?

My tongue doesn't move in those types of directions, sorry.

Berg is pronounced Bear-e (E almost silent).

I know exactly how it’s pronounced. In North American English we don’t have the long å sound (close, though), or the rg at the end of the word. People here aren’t going to pronounce it like Swedes do because of that.

What I was saying was that the closest English pronunciation we would use would be Oberg, as in Evan.

His second name is Keith?

I believe Keith Pontus Åberg is his full name.

Good luck to Aberg. He played decently as a fill-in during the Cup run. Tried him everywhere on the ice this season and nothing has worked. Hopefully some more consistent playing time in Edmonton will help him reignite his offensive spark.

 

[LMFAO]

Hopefully Aberg pulls a W.Karlsson

Thanks for the explanation.

So Edmonton was dead set on getting a prospect rather than a pick? I suppose that makes sense.

Their draft history beyond the 1st round isnt great and I guess trading for a prospect means you could possibly get a player, like Aberg, that has a better pedigree, was a 2nd round pick, but has lost some shine instead of guessing with a 3rd/4th rounder.

Edmonton was more interested in a guy that could play right away instead of waiting 4-5 years for a 4th round choice to be NHL ready if at all - that’s all. I’d move 4th rounders for guys like Aberg all day long.

Chris Pontius?

Can someone tell me how Letestu is able to play tonight? Pens trade for Brassard and he STILL can't play for us. Letestu is somehow able to play for an American team coming from Canada? and has a goal I see.

I remember reading that Letestu has recently purchased a home in Columbus, so maybe that means something? IDK. I'd imagine being able to purchase real estate individually would mean you could work there too? Totally guessing.

And good job Letestu. Scored a goal.

I guess that could be it, thanks.

Ottawa told him to stay in pitt with the full intention of trading him. I guess since he stayed in the US immigration wasn't an issue?

You're thinking of Cole, not Letestu

 

[mikeyp24]

Letestu live in Ohio when not in season so that's likely why.
