Detroit needs to quire Ek so they can a run a Ek - Ehn - Frk line.

If they make that acquisition, they have to run a Frk-Ehn-xxx line for puck drop at least once for s***s and giggles.

I mean, how do you pass up calling the Frk'Ehn xxx line. Imagine the marketing value if they can find a name pronouced "Eh". They'd be the most Canadian line EVER.

“Eh” is just a US late show stereotype. Not used in the vast majority of Canada. There would be no marketing value whatsoever. Moving on.

Not sure about marketing value but just about every non-western Canadian I knows says "eh" :dunno:

Not sure what part of Canada you're from, but I know I've heard it used on a semi regular basis in the Yukon, BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan during work stints there. Also in Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland/Labrador while travelling during multiple summers.

As Uncleben says, it's not quite as common as it used to be, and not as bad as the US stereotype makes it seem!
