I do not know, I live with it that my first name is said wrongly by English spoken persons, Frank will be Frenk in english. It does not bother me. It is easier to give the whole world one language so nothing can be pronounced incorrect, instead of trying to write names what is similar to the english alphabet. I see both not happening. I can help you a bit maybe, I have a dutch Windows version so do not know the exact names of the steps you have to go through. You go to "Start" then "Configuration" then something with "Language and Region", "Keyboard adjustment", click in general tab "ADD" and then add the correct language. You can switch between languages pressing "Shift+Alt" at the same time. Hope it helped. Maybe you need to restart your pc once to get it done.

The Y is pronounced in Fyodorov, just not on a hard way. You have э (like e in "e"gg) е (ye like in "yea") ё (yo in "yo"ghurt, but not that hard sound yoh) о (o like in "oh) and ю (like "you"). Can't explain it any better.

So in your words Byfuglien gets a whole different name on his jersey "Bufflin" (or autograph with Bufflin), cause you say it like that. I would rather see his real *writing* name instead of some name that Americans can pronounce. Sorry but that is my way of seeing it. Furthermore how are you going to write a name like Vladimir Malakhov. Cause you have no letter for the (х) in the name Малахов in your own alphabet. Kh, K, G, Gh is all wrong. Gh is maybe the closest but mainly it will be spoken like (Gh as in G in Guest or Google by Americans) and not like clearing your throat G. What I already said, it is getting more confusing if you change it all.

Okay, yes the pronunciations on wikipedia US is for some alphabetic letters wrong. I´ve seen that as well.. the most funny thing I read in a American learning book is that to pronounce hello (здравствуйте) is the same like saying the following sentence very fast; Does your ass fit you? *LOL* That is so so so so wrong on many levels and not similiar in a thousand years! I guess for English spokers the letter (х) is going to be the hardest cause you dont have this sound at all.. it is like the static sounds on your tv when you have no received channel... ghghghghhghghghghg )))) But I can ramble a lot more aboot other names (not Russian) example for dutch canadian names.. Bouwmeester also being said wrongly and sounds funny when the commentary pronunce it. So if I was the NHL or players... leave it like it is. It makes it too difficult for everyone.

Yeah Russian can be tough.. but for me (as a dutch guy) it isnt hard to say these letters seperatly, like ц ш щ ч. Worst letter to pronounce really good (here in the Netherlands) atually Ы cause with most people it sounds like и. MulesWillFly explained it very good actually above. You Russian? Furthermore on topic.. I think they have to leave it like this. Ovi and Dats etc knows it will be pronounce wrongly in other countries. They just have to accept it, thats the way it is. It would not bug me if it happens to me in foreign country. Care..... 0 %

I will inform Derek

Ah poor old RJ "crash dummy" Umberger...

If I can make a suggestion for logo... The french speaking version..Kermit la grenouille

I read somewhere Toots has voluntarily (read as: not court ordered) admitted himself into the NHL-NHLPA behavioral health program. I think it was alcohol, cause he also got DUI sometime I thought (or was that his brother?). Well wish him best of health.

Don´t get me wrong.. I did not say it was a bad trade, but missing out Roszival as a solid player is still kinda bad. Wolski is still a guy with lot of potential, we gain more cap space. Maybe I am a bit of a pessimism, we will see.. time will tell.

In my opinion not the best trade, trading a solid veteran like Michal for Wolski who is still a talent (may I still call him a talent?) who did not pop out of his shell yet.

Dan, do not mind losing at all, already used to it after 1993-1994. Trying to do my best more on my next ones. If I rank higher than my brother at the end it is already a victory for me.

I agree that West is much tougher to compete in. Just several teams in East would survive.. just my two cents.

Okay, now you killed me! haha! No problem Dan, I learned one thing.. I suck at game picks! "probably cause I am a Rangers fan"

Yes!!! Now we are talking.. First place here we come! Hey bro (read: Batigol2k), I am going to beat your ass. Thanks and no problem Dan. Didn´t count it myself yet.

12 points, woo freaking hoo. Not getting any higher in rank with these low scores.
