Recalled/Assigned: Lawrence Pilut emergency recall (3/24/19)

[Aladyyn]

If they just wanted a warm body they would have called up someone else. He'll play.

 

[jBuds]

I hope he doesn't get the Antipin treatment.

Antipin showed next to nothing and was gifted an opening night spot that felt obligatory, not deserved.

We were clamoring for him to play because the D corps as a whole was abysmal and tough to make worse... “might as well” kind of thing.

BUT....Every time he played, he got ragdolled in the corners and in front and was a sure fire bet to take a minimum of one penalty a game. His decision making wasn’t fantastic, either.

Did teams kick his tires this offseason but he was so turned off by the one year that he rocketed back home? Or did they see what the team saw and he generated no interest? I don’t remember.

 

[HaNotsri]

Is is "Pee-lut", "Pie-lut", or something different entirely? I can't remember from pre-season.

Pilot with a pie if that makes sense.
American name so you should be the experts .

 

[Yatzhee]

Scandella injured, also has 1 yr left after this one. Wouldn't surprise me if they move Scandella in the off season and re-sign Beaulieu for another yr for 2.6 or 3 million. They have to be looking longer term for McCabe and freeing up that 4 mil from Scandella in addition to Moulson and Pominville coming off the books affords flexibility toward re-signing Skinner, Girgs, Larsson and getting Pilut ready to slot in next season makes sense.

These ELC's, young guns in the pipeline and those draft picks along with assets acquired by moving guys like Scandella will pay longer term dividend on competitiveness. Botterill is doing one hell of a job so far.

I've heard it pronounced PI-lut (English pilot) and PI-loot in Swedish broadcasts. It may be because of differing dialects, but I understand that the 'u' in Swedish is typically similar to 'oo'.

Pilut is an American name though, most Swedish announcers tried to pronounce it like that.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

Pilut is an American name though, most Swedish announcers tried to pronounce it like that.

If it was Swedish it would be Pee-lot. I am not sure what is an American last name since most names date back 100s of years and was usually formed from a person's profession.

 

[Reddawg]

Every account I’ve ever seen says the right way to pronounce his name is just like the word “pilot”.

 

[jc17]

Tail-in-dur or Tuh-leen-dur?

Lid-man or Lood-man?

Sheery or Sharey?

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

Tail-in-dur or Tuh-leen-dur?

Lid-man or Lood-man?

Sheery or Sharey?

Saw-keer-uh or Sec-er-uh

 

[Montag DP]

I always assumed it was Pee-loot until this preseason, but that's probably because Spanish is the only language I know other than English, and that's how it would be pronounced in Spanish.

/thinly veiled brag about knowing another language

 

[cybresabre]

Saw-keer-uh or Sec-er-uh

 

[Doohickie]

/thinly veiled brag about knowing another language

I took high school Spanish and know the pronunciation, but it'd be a far cry from claiming I could speak it (which is a damned shame since I live in Texas now.... let that be a lesson you, kids. Pay attention in school! )

[SatanwasaSlovak]

Tail-in-dur or Tuh-leen-dur?

Lid-man or Lood-man?

Sheery or Sharey?

Selanä

or Seelanee?

Fedorov or Fjodorov?

 

[Ace]

Undefeated with Pilut on the roster.

Just sayin

 

[Abraham de Lacy]

Is is "Pee-lut", "Pie-lut", or something different entirely? I can't remember from pre-season.

Coming from Sweden I have -- as far as I can recall -- mostly heard it pronounced as "Pe-lut".

However, there are many dialects of Swedish and as always .. it varies. Pilut as in air-plane pilot also happens, but I think he himself would pronounce it "Pee-lut" if he was back home. Many Swedes anglicise their pronunciation when they move to England/North America.

For what it is worth .. Cheers!

[edit]: after some consideration I changed the pronunciation to "Pe-Lut" as the "e" needs to be shorter.

 

[vcv]

Tail-in-dur or Tuh-leen-dur?

Lid-man or Lood-man?

Sheery or Sharey?

Tuh-leen-dur.
Lood-man.

The only person I want to here his name form is RJ !!!!!

SABRES ASSIGN PILUT TO ROCHESTER

BUFFALO, N.Y. (November 23, 2018) — The Buffalo Sabres today announced the team has assigned defenseman Lawrence Pilut to the Rochester Americans (AHL).

 

[Gabrielor]

sad face

 

[Tsyolin]

I called this as soon as they announced Scandella was playing. They just wanted him around for insurance. The Amerks certainly miss him tonight.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Hope it was a good experience for him and I can’t wait to see him play for the Sabres soon

 

[dortt]

Hope it was a good experience for him and I can’t wait to see him play for the Sabres soon

likely will need 2 simultaneous injuries before he plays. Phil has showed he is not going to play Pilut when there are 7 defensemen
