Fixing up the website code to handle a new wrinkle (two players with the same name playing on the /same/ team for the first time) and it does amuse me that Elias Pettersson's first NHL shift was alongside Elias Pettersson. That's a nice touch.

I watched parts of the game, and I gotta say, SN's Shorthouse did a great job calling with two Petterssons on the ice at the same time. Helps that they pronounce their first names differently.
I didn't watch but I'm a bit confused about the name pronunciation thing. I assume it's Elias that is pronounced differently but they're both Swedes, so unless one of them has decided to go with the English pronunciation of it, there should be no difference.
I was an au pair in Sweden a long time ago & learned Swedish while I was there. It's rusty now, but not so rusty that I don't remember pronunciation and it always fascinates me which of the Swedes go with English/N American pronunciations & which ones don't.
