Most Misspelled Name on HFBoards?

[Jussi]

Every Finnish player ever. When even Oilers fans write "Jarri Kurri", I feel like I die a little inside.

 

[Fear]

Morgan Rielly , they get his last name scewed up to many times, I before E!

He's like the only guy in the world to spell it like that. Google it and all the results are for him.

 

[mjlee]

A bit OT but this is probably the worst I've ever seen. Recall it's 2008, the Wings have just won the cup with Lidstrom as the first European born and trained captain. He has just won his sixth consecutive Norris trophy in a landslide...

 

[Kale Hulls]

Nobody even talks about Ribiero anymore.

 

[KirkOut]

Steve Ott AINEC

OT but I can never spell Mark Teixeira (?) Tiexeira (?) the guy who played on the braves/rangers/yankees

 

[HarrisonFord]

Don Cherry:

Kevin Bieska

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Hey people, I found a new gem tonight in the mispronounced category.

"Under 10 seconds to play, off the draw in the neutral zone, Mikhail Gobrovski lights the lamp..."

Mikhail GOBROVSKI

[Wolf Without a Howl]

Maatta.

You either see Maata or Matta.

 

[LeafsTFC]

Don Cherry:

There should be a separate thread for Don Cherry mispronunciations of player names. I remember Pocahontsky (Ponikarovsky) well

 

[glovesave_35]

The Tyler Sequin - Louie Erikkson trade has been much discussed lately.

 

[ProPAIN]

Nobody puts those two dots above the o in Lidstrom

Well it's not as bad as Lindstrom

 

[TimbeS]

There has been many mentioning Finnish players' names already, and I just gotta emphasize that.

Tuuka/Tukka Rask (Tuukka)
Leo Komorov (Komarov)
Kimo Timmonen (Kimmo Timonen)
Valterri Fillpula/many more (Valtteri Filppula)
Ollie Maata (Olli Maatta)
Tuevo Teuraviainenn/Teravianien/Tueravainen/etc etc etc etvc (Teuvo Teravainen)
Rasmus Ristoielenn/zxc czzxfd ds gsd (Rasmus Ristolainen)
Anti Neimi (Antti Niemi)
Kari Lethonen (Kari Lehtonen)
etc

It's pretty much more common to see the misspelled versions of most of these names than the right one. It's shouldn't be that hard though IMO

Came here to post this. Also, Pekke Renne (Pekka Rinne)

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Stall has to be the worst. Lupol isn't too far behind.

 

[Sharppi]

Michael Grandlund

 

[glovesave_35]

I haven't seen many people say "Stall" really, ever.

Some European names, especially the Finnish ones, are just really hard to remember, especially if they don't play for your team. Jyrki Jokipakka is a rookie D-man in Dallas, I'm a Stars fan, and I still have to Google his name half the time before posting a comment about him because of all the possibilities on that last name.

I think I've seen about 10% of all Bruins fans spell Loui (that really is quite simple) Eriksson's name correct.

 

[captaincheese]

everyones always spelling Brodoor wrong, whats this Brodeur stuff?

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

It would be Mark Borowiecki or Patrick Weircioch, but they're scrubs and no one talks about them.

 

[Brainiac]

Well, a lot of these mispellings come from the fact that the name isn't english in the first place. That, I can understand. But even then. Why the hell would you want to write 'Lindstrom' instead of 'Lidstrom'?

The one that I truly don't understand is Trevor Timmins (head scout for the Habs). Half the time, you see it spelled 'Timmons'.

 

[Stranger Danger]

Schenn

 

[alg363636]

Loui Erikson Ericson Ericsson Eriksonn Ericssonn Erixon Erixson

i'm dead serious I've seen it with an x

 

[turkulad]

All the Latvian names bug me with the extra s's at the end of every word. Most popularly misspelled Finnish names must be Oli Mattaa and Tukka Rask. Of the Canadians, I never understood Weirchoch. What the * does that even mean? Honorable mention to Beiska, Lindstrom also, he deserves to be in the Hall of Mispelling.

 

[Jormungandr]

There's posters on the Coyotes board who still spell Hanzal Hanzel.

 

[Eple]

How I see it, Fedorov has to be the most misspelled name on these forums, no doubt, even in the HoH boards where people generally are more knowledgeable, his name is misspelled 50% of the time.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

It's probably [player who plays for my team].

 

[Lawzy]

My android automatically "corrects" Edler to Elder, Bieksa to Bieska, and Kesler to Kessler.

So generally I give a little leeway when I see those errors because more often then not it's incorrect autocorrect as opposed to ignorance.
