How to Properly Pronounce Your Favorite Red Wings Player's Name

by JeffHancock41 on Nov 9, 2011 10:41 AM CST in VIdeo of the Day

If you haven't seen the post over at Puck Daddy, Greg Wyshynski interviewed the YouTube Hockey Name guy. He's become somewhat of a sensation posting some funny and sometimes not-so-correct pronunciations of NHL players.

Some of the funnier pronunciations after the jump.

Jar-ee Hudler

Jimmy Hoe-ward

Danny Cle-ar-ee

Patrick Eaveees

And surprising, does a very nice job with Valtteri Filppula.

To hear the rest of the Red Wings' names, you can check out RunForTheCubes' Detroit names here.

I don't get it

Is he supposed to be funny? Just seems stupid to me. Maybe I’m missing something…

I don't get it either....

but I can say that I always enjoy hearing Babs or uncle Kenny pronouncing Phill-ah-puuhla’s name….I’ve heard from the inside that Babs just calls him 51 during practice and games….

It wasn’t too funny until I got to “Ian Whitey”

I think it’s funny, but I’m also easily-amused. Maybe I’m the asshole?

I'm pretty sure....

….there’s a “Well you are from Kansas” joke in there somewhere, but it just seems too easy.

Anything that pronounces Filppula's name better than anyone else is weird.

Fan of the Detroit Tigers, Lions and Red Wings.

What we need is more funny visuals of players and there names/nicknames

Though.. if he scores a goal, I'll upgrade him to TARDISBox instead.

whoah whoah now!

He has a LONG way to go to get to TARDIS level. That’s like Lidstrom only territory. The Doctor would be ashamed of that comparison.

HEY

never said he’d be upgraded to a real one.. just a cardboard Tardis level. It looks impressive, but give it some time in the rain and it’ll turn back into a pile of crap. That is.. unless more goals are scored. Wait… what were we talking about again?

I keep listening to them

to try to find one that I find funny… and I just can’t find one! Is there something wrong with my funnybone? It just sounds like something a couple drunk guys would be trying to imitate on game night. I don’t get it.

I think the problem is the voice...

I think the fact that the guy is trying to “sound” funny with a pretend-snooty voice is what makes it not funny. He seems to be trying too hard to just sound funny, when I think it would be much more funny if it was just deadpan instead.
