@Lempo
We call Germs Němci and that means almost literally “mutes”.
@Porvari
It got better since the 90s. Jágr is no longer pronounced Jäger at least.
Often the most butchered combination was “-ec” at the end of a name in Plekanec or Pavelec. Because announcers pronounced it as “-ack” in “back” instead of “ets” with the “ts” being pronounced the same way as in Datsyuk.
Usually the biggest problem is intonation, because we put emphasis on different syllables.
And “e” in Hertl’s name isn’t silent and Rittich’s name has the same pronunciation as it would in German. It’s not Rittick.
