Not as problematic as Canada’s play and lack of coaching

jamesearly.bsky.social•75 days ago

Has a Mike Hunt ever played in the tournament or the NHL? That could be awkward. My apologies. I'm of English descent so this is not as offensive as it might be to some.

I have to admit I kinda wanted Livscis to get the OT winner just to hear the call.

Liiiiive-Shiiiiiiits!!!!

petersjvecrumba.bsky.social•75 days ago

Legally, Latvian names must to be Latvianized. "Livšics" Anglicized instead of Latvianized would be "Livschitz." Might want to present that alternate spelling.

Day-vis.
You’re welcome.

fergie277.bsky.social•75 days ago

What’s the hardest name you’ve had to pronounce while doing a junior game Gord ?

tiiahnkm.bsky.social•75 days ago

Or you've just been lied to. Latvian language tools say liv-sits 😂

bobkelly223.bsky.social•75 days ago

I thought you guys did a good job with the Finnish names but then again how would I know?

tealerino.bsky.social•75 days ago

And if I know anything, he will absolutely be their best player with several pick touches per shift lol

goosethegander.bsky.social•75 days ago

Say it, you coward.

"Mateiko passes to.... Number 7."

andrew-holland.bsky.social•75 days ago

We will all miss Ray Ferraro giggling!

lloydbdavis.bsky.social•75 days ago

You’re saying “Davis” is difficult to pronounce?

hadarian.bsky.social•75 days ago

😂

gfeff.bsky.social•75 days ago

No problem Gord. We've said Schitts Creek for years now and everyone gets it

vegashal67.bsky.social•75 days ago

NASCAR announcers had to say this guy's name for years, you can get through one game 🤣

You've never come across a Lipschitz, Lipshitz, or Lipchitz?

beentoaugusta.bsky.social•75 days ago

I would consult Dennis Beyak.

Livshitz/Lifshitz is a relatively common Jewish name, so congrats for announcing the bubble you've lived in, Mr Miller. lol

landmoose.bsky.social•75 days ago

Whether it's common or not, saying it on TV is going to be a problem for a white Canadian audience. HTH

tyronemund.bsky.social•75 days ago

only if you're 5 years old and laugh at Cacaa Doody PooPoo

cwwmbm.bsky.social•75 days ago

It's actually not pronounced as "shits" so there should be no problem is a commentator bothers to learns the proper pronunciation

markwarden.bsky.social•75 days ago

Thanks for coming out cww but that’s how it’s pronounced in Latvia.

trenthowell.bsky.social•74 days ago

Every year Gord explains how he asks players, and every year some fool comments this.

thegarybrown.bsky.social•75 days ago

Bubble? I don’t think you know anything about Gord Miller, Tyrone.

davidbraunstein.bsky.social•75 days ago

Your Jewish listeners won’t be shocked as it’s a fairly common Jewish last name although I’ve not seen the spelling before. Courage, you can do it.

drewmiller61.bsky.social•75 days ago

That's why you are the pro!!
