I can Tolerate Pierre Houde's ma parole's but I absolutely can't stand Yvon Pedneault's little monologues about what he bought his pet poodle for christmas... He's such a narcissistic drama queen.
I just heard some guy on the street say this,, and it just got my blood boiling. I had images of Pierre Houde in my head
Every time he says that... i wanna go over to the Bell Centre and just punch him in the gut... and maybe give Pednault a slap while I'm there.
Can these guys ever just name the players instead of trying to sound like they speak Russian or Check or finnish...
Its Naslund mother ****er not Nesslund
Its Bertuzzi... not Bertoudzzzi
Its Kovalev... Not Kovaliof
Its Vokoun... Not Vocone
And for chrissake stop exagerating Plekanec.. its not Tomaschh Plek-an-etssss
...
ok.. I'm done.. I just had to get that out..
P.S. : AND STOP DISCUSSING PEDNEAULT'S WIFE.. for crying out loud.. its seems every 2 play stops they start talking about some inane thing that hapenned in their lives and totally lose track of the play.. and then a goal arives and Houde just screams out ET LE BUT.. de Riber.. euh non.. c'était Ryder... euh non.. Ah le but de Souray.
HOW COULD YOU MISTAKE SOURAY FOR RIBEIRO???????
ok.. now I'm done!
Sorry... I'm a whiner...
Wow...about the names.....if you dont want to repsect ppl an their name then dont . But dont complain because Houde does. Some of us appreciate when our name isnt butchered by ppl.
If you think you're so much better. Just apply for the job at RDS.
I can't remember who it was, but in one very recent English broadcast, the colour guy for CBC (not Neale) was calling Bouillon "Bool-on" for the whole game. I've never wanted to smack someone harder.
Im glad im not the only person sick about hearing that expression. Why cant the play by play sound like the rest of us and just say "for **** sake!!!!"
Actually Michael Nylander is Swedish, and in Swedish I am quite sure that "y" is pronounced as our "u", the "ch" is pronouced like if aspired and the "a" sounds like in french with a Quebec accent, so almost like an "o".
Also, Markus Naslund's name in Swedish is written Näslund, and in Swedish " ä "are pronounced like "ea" in "head".
I am not a specialist Swedish Linguist, but I think that commentator make their possible to pronounce names correctly, and even ask the players how to pronounce their name. That's what we call respect of other culture.

I don't like them myself, BUT you gotta give those guys credits for trying to pronounce the name of foreign player...
Let's say your second name is Thétrault, what would be your reaction if someone is pronouncing every letter? That's sounds akward right? Same for Tomaschh Plek-an-etssss!!!
Before people start harping on me because of my apparent "non-respect" for peoples names.. let me explain.
UNO: I'm not Joe Smith, My name is my screen name: Ayman Daher. So if anyone appreciates people trying to pronounce things right, its me. Thats why I appreciate Mcguires efforts (he does the same) but Houde butchers it.. he emphasises esssses so much it sounds like a rattlesnake has crawled in the booth and bit off Pednaults hand (which explains why he can't draw anymore with his little highliter..)
DOS: My boggest problem is the lack of play-by-play.. not the names. The names are just the cherry on the sundae. But when they go off on weird tangents and forget to call the game... that really gets me.
TRES: I'm not saying I would do a better job. Who the hell am I, I'm just a bum. But surely we can find 2 better broadcasters no?* Can someone not ask for better...
*/Aymand waiting for a "don't call me shirley" joke.

Dude..I feel your pain.
I,m a french guy named Brock Belliveau.
Francophones butcher my first name and anglophones destroy my last.
As for the rds play by play men. I couldnt agree less. I've been listening to the game and its always the same thing "Ma parole!!"..."Eh Ben!!"

Spice it up guys!!
My friends and I invented a Pierre Houde and Yvon Pedneault drinking game
1 shot for every "ma parole"
1 shot for every "Et quel arret par theodore"
2 shots for "C'était sans équivoque"
3 shots for "Et Madame Pednault va bien?"

The "ma paroles" and the "Mais quel arrêt" really add up...
The Madame Pedneault one is rare... but its doozy.
I've developed quite a liver during the last couple of years of RDS, so I think I'll be fine.
The sad truth is, when i was younger, I used to really enjoy Houde and Pedneault. In those days, the games played on TQS (where there was Pierre Bouchard) and on SRC with Michel Bergeron (Uggghhhh...). So Houde and Pednault were my favorite. But now that I listen to TSN, I've been spoiled...
At least they're not Neale and Cole or those God awful FSN guys I get on the NHL network..
What annoys me is French language people who pronounce foreign players' names as spoken with an English accent. Michel Bergeron does this a lot. This is especially ironic since Bergeron likes dumping on non-Francophone players.

If you really want to get hammered, try the Pedz game:
1 shot for permutation de défenseurs
2 shots for on arrête...BANG!
3 shots for départ canon
. But dont complain because Houde does. Some of us appreciate when our name isnt butchered by ppl.
