RDS & TVA Sports Memes!

"Ça veut dire merci en russe."

I actually enjoy all the extras like this that he puts in. His attention to detail and the effort he exudes in pronouncing everything correctly, especially foreign names is fantastic.

Hope he never changes his style nor that he retires anytime soon.

 

[Strat]

OK. That is hilarious!!!!!

Pierre Houde: Ce joueur que nous avons pu voir à la Coupe Spengler (always talking about the Spengler Cup because he hosted one of them during the lock out).

 

[RafaelSomma]

Pierre Houde LOVES to listen to himself talking.

That's so true, but he doesn't listen when people talk or he seems so bored while trying to listent to them.

I am a pro quebec but TVA need to stop putting le quebecois in front of every single quebec born player in the game...

Houde attempts to pronounce names as the players themselves would say their own names. That's not over-pronouncing but mere attention to detail.

Séguin on the other hand punctuates players' names (and even the last words of his sentences) with an annoying staccato sound: "Sekatch-uh", Eller-uh", etc.

Guess you can't please everyone.

The problem with Houde is when people all over the NHL have been calling a player in one fashion for years, even decades, and he start to call them "the right way" cause he so freakin anal about language and thinks he's the next coming to Rene Lecavalier. Like Henrik Long Viste. I remember that this became a pain when he started calling Weber Veber. Everybody was calling him Weber like the Preds player but at this point on, all the RDS guys had to change their pronounciation just cause Monsieur Houde was calling him like that. So it became nauseating all throughout their network. Then it got worse with Plekanec where everybody at RDS had to call him Pleka Nets.

At least with Sekac, he's a fairly new player so it's OK to call him Secache right away before people have been used to another name.

RDS does the same, in fact they'll go the extra mile to include a language component.

I remember an RDS game recap on the previous game between the Habs and Hawks where Toews had scored and they prefaced his goal with "le Franco Manitobain".

Totally understand your point. It's unfortunate that there isn't a consensus on player pronunciations, which of course leads to the multiple designations that become irritating, since you wonder where they come from and if anyone has bothered to do their homework.

Used to be easier in the olden days, broadcast rights were not split up so widely, there were only a few play-by-play guys and not as many foreign players as now, so the current issues never really surfaced as they are now.

Since the last game at Detroit, this has happened a lot:

Pierre: Et on va retrouver Marc Denis entre les bancs des deux équipes. C'est moins serré qu'à Detroit hein mon Marc.

I don't think he says it exactly like that but it kinda resume.

 

[CaptainBenn]

I hate how Seguin always look at his buddy Patrick when he is talking, like talk to us look at the camera stop trying to constantly eye contact your buddy...?

"Anton Roussel c'est un agitateur, mais c'est un chic type et il aime rire"

yea that was so lame. These guys really want the players to be their friends.

 

[Kachino]

I thought Dillon was traded to San Jose

 

[Laurent]

Probably their only way of making friends. Everyone is probably tired of seeing them and are wondering where Houde is

 

[radicalcenter]

what did they say?

 

[madhi19]

TVA might have crappy talent buy they ain't in 4:9 tonight! lolll

 

[Kachino]

what did they say?

Patrice Brisebois showed a clip about Emelin. However they highlited a Stars defenseman (Dillon) on that sequence. Funny thing is that Dillon doesn't play for the Stars anymore.

Lalime makes Andrighetto sound like a street name from the hood

 

[QuebecPride]

How do you pronounce 'Folin'?

I kept hearing Pierre Houde add a 'r' during the entire game.

Ya it was pretty annoying. Odds are Houde asked him the proper way to pronounce it though.

 

[Takeru]

Talking about Price playing back-to-back games:

''Lors des deuxièmes matchs, Price n'a pas été capable de remporter la défaite''
