MattPie Posted December 14, 2015 Report Posted December 14, 2015 Who ever gets the job done, but for me its easier to like Ullmark than Lehner at this point, not because we gave up a 1st rounder for Lehner. But I like Ullmarks attitude more than Lehners. Hey, we gave up a sixth round pick for Ullmark. :) FWIW, let's not forget Legwand came over in that trade too. I'm not sure that makes up the value, but bringing in a decent veteran forward isn't the worst thing in the world. Quote

But its still Lehners spot to lose, he'll get his shot the rest of the year. Quote

Doohicksie Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 ullmark hasnt been the beast we need him to be :( Ullmark is fine; it's the offense that's the problem. Quote

MODO Hockey Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 That's pretty sweet, any idea how they got that opportunity? Might be trough GoSport travel, a swedish company. Quote
MODO Hockey Posted December 19, 2015 Report Posted December 19, 2015 That's pretty sweet, any idea how they got that opportunity? Been looking up this for ya, apparently the guy to the right knows a guy well within the Sabres organisation, so he got them tickets for these 3 home games plus a visit with the players. Quote
Stoner Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 So how would I pronounce Linus' name if I wanted to sound Swedish. I think we have the LEEnus part down. What about Ullmark? Quote
Doohicksie Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 Here's a link to the feature about the two Swedish tourists that they aired during the Chicago game. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Here's a link to the feature about the two Swedish tourists that they aired during the Chicago game. Nice, but they aren't blond enough to be real Swedes. Quote
MODO Hockey Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 So how would I pronounce Linus' name if I wanted to sound Swedish. I think we have the LEEnus part down. What about Ullmark? Good question, hmm..its like the actuall chineese 'Li', but i guess Lee works fine to, nus though is the hard part :P there is no actuall english word that has the correct pronounce for nus. Same for Ullmark with the 'U'. When you pronouce it in english it sounds for us like ur using the O instead of U. Ill record it and post it for ya :D Quote
Doohicksie Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 So, should it be Leenooss Oolmark? (something like a long u sound?) Quote
MODO Hockey Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 So, should it be Leenooss Oolmark? (something like a long u sound?) Haha, i like your enthusiasm :flirt: I'll upload an soundrecordning of the actuall pronoucement of Linus Ullmark in Swedish, when i find the time. Quote

Ill record it and post it for ya :D Shouldn't be much of an issue for me, when on vacation and I hear Danish/Swedish, I can understand a lot. So, should it be Leenooss Oolmark? (something like a long u sound?) I think he means that is the way its pronounced in English. The U sound is different over here. Quote

I think he means that is the way its pronounced in English. The U sound is different over here. Right. I'm trying to understand what an English phonetic spelling of the Swedish pronunciation would look like to try to figure out the right way to say it. I happened to look at the NHL rookies page and as of right now, Linus is 1st among rookie goaltenders in save percentage at .911 and second in goals against at 2.64 (behind Mike Condon. Pretty impressive. His biggest problem right now is lack of goal support. Quote

He doesnt know all players yet either (nmy teams), when he does i'm confident he will be the reason between a loss and a win when team is not sticking to gameplan. I just took an sauna after work, been working night all weekend and im off now for monday and tuesday, shait that there is no more game until the 28th! :( Edited December 21, 2015 by MODO Hockey Quote

Stoner Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Hardly anyone pronounced Hasek's name right. Mike Emrick was one exception. Just out of respect, it would be nice to get Ullmark's name right. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 Hardly anyone pronounced Hasek's name right. Mike Emrick was one exception. Just out of respect, it would be nice to get Ullmark's name right.What is the correct pronunciation of Hasek? Quote
Stoner Posted December 21, 2015 Report Posted December 21, 2015 What is the correct pronunciation of Hasek? A long time ago I found a clip of Dom saying his name. I just looked for it but couldn't instantly find it. He pronounces his first name DOH mah neek and his last name HAH sheck Quote
