There was also the Hurrians in Bronze Age Near East.

Hurrians - Wikipedia

They got Kikkuli the master horse trainer, the author of a famed treatise on the subject.

His name translates to "Johnson" in Finnish. Or perhaps "Peter". Or, "Dick".

It doesn't mean anything. It's just a name for finnish swedes/swedes. It's used as a kind of an offensive name, but i can call my finnish swedish friends Hurri if i wanna just bust their balls a bit.

Interesting. So what happens if I walk up to Aho and say "You're a Hurri"?

He would probably awkwardly grin, say "Ok." and then just walk away.

He's a Swedish-born Finn. Mikael & Markus Granlund are hurri's. And Lindell.

Florida up 4-0 vs Philadelphia

Of course, after worrying about our division, they would be the ones to keep us out of a playoff spot.

Apparently comes from the Swedish word for 'how', "Hur?", from the expression used by a Swedish-speaker when they don't understand Finnish even when spoken slowly and loudly for their benefit.

If the Devils don't start dropping like flies, and lock down that 7th spot, I really don't know how we're gonna fend off the Panthers for that final wild card spot. They're red hot, that's gonna be win #7 in a row for them, and they are beating good teams too during that stretch.

 

[Svechhammer]

I'm with Hurr

 

[Breakdowns]

f***ing Panthers

 

[Novacane]

If Florida keeps it up, there’s no way we can match. Tip of the hat and move on. Some things can’t be easily explained some years and they may be it along with the Golden Knights. I’m not worried, I think they’ll crash back down at some point from where they came from. We’ll see

That would be like 90% of my fan interactions if I were playing hockey in a foreign country.
