The Flyers Had Another Shootout Win Last Night and This ESPN Announcer Couldn’t Pronounce Any of Their Names

I totally get that hockey player names are difficult and can prove a major challenge to any anchor tasked with reading tens of highlights each night. So, we’ll give this unnamed ESPN talking head a pass on Michael Rafall.
But there’s absolutely no excuse for Claude Zirooo and Vincent Lecavulai, both of whom are household names in hockey (not to mention the fact that Lecavalier has been around for 800 years).
The Flyers won, 4-3, and Steve Mason was ridiculously fantastic.
Video highlights, complete with awful announcing, are after the jump. And boom goes the dynamite.
