Pierre......really?

Did I hear him call Bert a Stanley Cup champ?? Forgive me if I have gone nuts, but I don't remember Bert ever raising the cup...

I swear I heard that, too, thought maybe I just didn't hear it right. I then sat there for 10 minutes racking my brain trying to figure out who he won a Cup with.

The blank look on Bert's face after the fact should have answered my question.

He i heard this too. Also did anyone else notice how Pierre said FranSen instead of FranZen during the interview? Call it pulling hairs or what not, but your job is to commentate and be knowledgable. How can he claim to do either of those?

Didn't Denis Potvin call him "Franzine" when we played them last year?

I was watching the Panthers feed.

I think Pierre is icky and wish he'd be replaced by someone that doesn't creep on the players (as funny as that is when he's interviewing someone I don't like) but give the guy a break.

Tuzzi played for teams that won Cups very near each other. He had just changed teams at inopportune times.

Even an expert who knows who played for whom and who won the cup can miss it by a year with a particular player. He should know, but that doesn't mean he didn't just miss-speak. He probably got off camera and went, "oh, crap. He was with the _______ that year."

Actually I thought that I heard that the Swedes actually pronounce their z with an s sound. The correct way to pronounce zetterberg is somewhere near Setterbear

Correct. Same goes in Norway.

Here you can hear how swedes say Zetterberg:

Yup. And the vowels in Franzén is pronounced in exactly the same way as the ones in Brashear.

Thanks to whoever it was that mentioned it to me a while back.
