We've tolerated the butchering of Maxim Ouellet and Michel Ouellet, but since Xavier Ouellet seems to be displaying the potential of being a big time NHL player, people have got to start getting it right.

Even TSN has his name misspelled on their WJC Statistics page.

They have less difficulties spelling weird Swedish, Finnish or Russian names...

It's ****ing Määttä. There's a reason there's two ä's and two t's

Määttä, sounds like an effing sheep!

That's actually an English butchering of it. It's more like "Wee-eh"...sort of..it's hard to pronounce as an anglophone myself.

Oue = Weh
Llet= Lett

It's a very simple name to pronounce as an anglophone.

It's Lüd-man, with an "ü" sound.

Lood is not any closer than Lid.

Same with Valtteri Filppula.

Its not:
Filpulla
Flippula (hence the nickname Flip, which is just the most stupid nickname I´ve ever heard)
Filppulla
etc

Who is Xavier Ouellet? What has he done in the NHL?
