[Vodalian]

Hoo-can Lou-b


Hoooo is like Hacksaw Jim Duggan would say.

And Lou is what Vancouver fans chant when Luongo touches the puck.

Just to clear things up, HÃ¥kan is pronounced "Hawkan". If you remove the ring from above the a it's a different word which means "the chin".

No branko radivojevic yet?

My three favourite hockey player names growing up were Kelly Buchberger, Jeff Beukeboom, and Zarley Zalapski. They just sounded like hockey players.
