Theme Week, Part Two!

Jeremy's Sametime Status Proudly Presents:
Know Your NHL Stars Week! Phonetically spell the following hockey player’s name: Toni Lydman (D – Buffalo Sabres)


No problem.


You're right. This week's contest is an easy and fun one to participate in. If you're not sure...take a guess! Who knows?


So why are you doing this anyway?


This contest is to show that the most intelligent readership in the world can appreciate and enjoy a hockey game. It also goes to show the rest of the world that not all hockey fans are like the following stereotypical impression brought to you by the Arrogant Worms:




That's somewhat catchy...


So...today's task is listed above...so let's move on to yesterday's.

Keith Tkachuk is about as close to a household name when it comes to American hockey as it gets. He has been one of the NHL’s premier power forwards since bursting onto the scene with a 51-point rookie campaign with the Winnipeg Jets (Later Phoenix Coyotes) back in 1992. Prior to the current season, Tkachuk had accumulated 926 points (Goals + Assists) in his 976 game NHL career. In addition, Tkachuk has represented the United States in the Olympic Games 4 times, winning the Silver medal in 2002, as well as having 2 appearances in the World Cup of Hockey, claiming Gold in 1996.

I'll actually accept two slightly different pronunciations for his name, however. They are as follows:

KEETH ka CHUCK
KEETH ka CHOOK (With OO as in Book, not Food)

Here is Mr. Tkachuk in action, scoring an easy goal off a sweet centering pass from Bill Guerin.



Congratulations to those who got it right, and good luck on today's quiz.
