58Miles2Joe 12 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 Please help me and my friend settle a gentleman's bet. Here's a clip of Pavel's acceptance speeches at the awards the other night... What does he say right at the very end of his second speech? I won't post our guesses so I don't bias your guesses. Thanks for the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 He probably just wanted to get off the stage with the Lady Bing quickly hoping nobody would see him with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legendary D In 03 50 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 Almost positive he said, "thank you very much and, my english shorter now" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redwingslady87 130 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 he says "my english is shorter now", referring to the fact that he didn't expect to be up there a second time. First speech he says "I want to make my speech longer, but my english is short" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travis08 3 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 Actually now that I think about, I believe they were joking earlier in the evening about getting their championship rings. Maybe he said "my ring is sure now", since he won 2 awards. Tough to tell really. At first I thought he might be saying something about english being short again, but now I am not so sure. He easily and clearly says the words english and short at the end of the first speech, but at the end of the second speech if he said it again he totally butchers it. alas we may never know.

jdog19 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 I actually thought he said 'My writing is short now'. He mentioned in the first speech that he wrote more but stopped because of his English was short...which is why him saying his 'writing' is shorter was pretty funny.

gsusluvshockey 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 He said something like My English is shorter now. I guess meaning that speech was even shorter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sverige 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 Are you referring to the bit about "My reign is short now"? I think he is referencing his physical play during the SCF. He is suggesting that voters may not see him as so gentlemanly because he hit Gary Roberts in the face. IMO he still is a gentleman because he was totally playing within the rules. That said, if Lidstrom doesn't somehow win at least ONE Lady Byng in his career I don't know what is wrong with the world. Lidstrom is the definition of Lady Byng, which I think is a very honorable award and any player winning it should be very proud. They also get money for winning it so even better!

I think you might be right, it definitely sounds closer to writing then english. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First speech he says "I want to make my speech longer, but my english is short" Yeah, thats what I'm thinking, too. Reign? In the context of being nervous and struggling with English and being unprepared and ad-libbing it seems unlikely that's he'd be saying his reign as Lady Bing winner is now short due to his intention to be more violent, or his sweet-ass hitting during the playoffs.

Actually I think you are not giving Pavel enough credit. He continually ad libs stuff like that. I think it sounds much more like reign or writing than english. He already says the word english crystal clear in the previous speech so I don't think that's what he said this time. It also really sounds like he says ___ I S, with the stress on IS. I have a hard time believing that he said rengIS to mean english. He is Russian not Chinese. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EuroTwin 240 Report post Posted June 17, 2008 I heard "My reign is short now" as well, but I thought it was in reference to how much time he spent on stage compared to everyone else who won. Pav definitely had some short speeches. Funny as hell, but short. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
