How badly can you misspell hockey names?

[Guest Tunbo Batman]

For example :

Mortyn Byrodyr, my favorite.

other examples include but are not limited to : Kolyakvo, Radvwayavick, and the Edmintun Oylurz.

waht rae uyo tlkng auobt ???

[NeverForgetMac25 483]

Just in the past 24 hours, I've already seen: Kulder.

Also, I remember Flipula being mentioned before the season started.

[Systemfel 33]

Federov. Brenden Shannahan. Samuellson. Zetterburg.

Also, people in North America have misunderstood Franzen's name. IMO, you should pronounce it like "Frawn seyn" in English, not "Fransen".

I remember watching VS when the wings were on last time and they called #40 Zetterberger and Zetterman all within the space of 2 mins, hilarious!

I remember seeing it too...I actually might have been the one to post that.

On a seperate but related note, we can all thank Tunbo Batman for his interpretation of the Phoenix Coyotes:

Edit: I just noticed that Tunbo Batman was the one to start this thread. I'm beginning to see a pattern here...

Except if they're old enough and internet savvy enough to post messages on a fan forum, then they can surely figure out how to look up a player's name.

It's not the misspellings that drive me nuts as much as the laziness. People typing things they know are wrong, they even say in their message that they know it is wrong, yet expect us to read and try and translate their message.

I had to use phonics.

I like to think I turned out alright.

This totally reminds me of a poster that types the word "some1" rather than "someone".

I wonder if he/she realizes it probably takes longer to move your entire hand to hit the "1" key rather than just typing the word "one"?

Regardless, lazy..........and annoying.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that's how Kronwall is pronounced in Swedish. Thus, why NHL.com has it written that way. I've seen Kronwall spelled that way elsewhere.

Cue NN or Turretin to clear things up...........

Yeah, It is pronounced Kronvall but, on his jersey it says Kronwall. I was a bit confused

I know, but I think NHL.com just hasn't taken the time to look into it.

I think Tomas Holmstrom is one of the most common. Everybody seems to be convinced that it's Thomas!

This isn't misspelling, but how about Yzerman? How many people outside of hockey can pronounce his name? Not many that I've met.
