I remember there was a goalie draft eligible a year or two ago named Hari Sateri. I thought that was funny for some reason.

I'm not sure if anyone knows the answer to this but I'm almost positive that I remember hearing Kopitar interviewed during his first season and asking about the pronounciation of his name and I believe it is supposed to be pronounced Ko-pee-tar.

Toews is pronounced "taves"

Then there's Hjalmarsson pronounced "jalmarsson"

And of course "Norstrom" pronounced "Nordstrom" and "Cammalleri" pronounced "Calamari"

Byfuglien takes the cake though... how they get "Bufflin" out of that...
