Anybody else watching CBC find the way Marc Crawford says Nabokov really annoying? Instead of Na-baw-kawv, he says like Nab-uh-kawv, a soft "o" sound. It's been driving me crazy. :P

I actually thought it was the Crawford way forever, and the "Na-baw-kawv" people drove me crazy. In fact, now that I think about it, it maybe have been one of those infamous pronounciation changes...I'm pretty sure it was "Nab-uh-kawv" back when he was with the Cleveland Lumberjacks (cheap plug for local defunct minor league team there).

Hyoo-ette versus Hyoo-eh? :P

I'm so used to the regular Na-baw-kawv pronounciation that the other one bugs me. That's like when my dad says "Joe Lou-ee Arena". <_<

edit: by the way, CBC broadcasters totally jinxed the Ducks when they mentioned that it was their first penalty of the game early in the second.

This one's over.

I'm sure Wings fans know how this feels getting stifled by Anaheim's defense.
