Non-sarcastic Hayward/Ahlers question...RedMenace 12-31-2007, 12:03 AM Just watched the Ducks/Canucks game, and I really want to know which one is the play-by-play guy, and which one is the color commentator. I like the style, more of a free-flowing conversation... ... of course, that's not to say I like Hayward and Ahlers... :) Belanger25 12-31-2007, 12:42 AM Ahlers: PBP Haywood: Color. RedMenace 12-31-2007, 01:00 AM Ahlers: PBP Haywood: Color. Cool... the fact that they sound similar doesn't help matters much. :) Thanks! Ducks 12-31-2007, 02:18 PM if you watch them enough it gets pretty easy to pick them out, but I guess they do sound a bit similar at first. Philoushka 12-31-2007, 03:11 PM which one pronounces the defenceman's name as "Beauchamay" ? snarktacular 12-31-2007, 03:25 PM Both, and they both say it right. From the Ducks site: boh-sheh-MEH, frahn-SWUH (link (http://ducks.nhl.com/team/app?page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8467400&service=page&tab=prf)) Nikko 12-31-2007, 03:35 PM I usually hear Hayward pronouncing the N at the end of the name so it sounds like Bo-sheh-man. Chone 12-31-2007, 05:00 PM I usually hear Hayward pronouncing the N at the end of the name so it sounds like Bo-sheh-man. Everybody was calling him that last year. I'm glad its "may", it sounds infinitely better than "min". HawkeyeKnight* 01-04-2008, 03:12 PM Both, and they both say it right. From the Ducks site: boh-sheh-MEH, frahn-SWUH (link (http://ducks.nhl.com/team/app?page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8467400&service=page&tab=prf)) anyone who pronounces the last syllable as "MAY" is 100% incorrect.... Chemin de fer is not Che-MAY de fer... the last syllable is really more like MAAAAH (as in a whiny waaah...) as in the A in the word "Alley" Bo-shuh-mahhh is closer... it's all in the degree of french accent you have, and neither Duck announcer has an iota :-) Theridion 01-04-2008, 03:27 PM it's all in the degree of french accent you have, and neither Duck announcer has an iota :-) That's a good thing, yes?

So no, they're not wrong. Chone 01-04-2008, 06:40 PM Francois' accent is pretty thick, and the announcers are pronouncing his name per his preference. So no, they're not wrong. but he said 100%! Davey Duck 01-04-2008, 07:11 PM During a game last season, I think Hayward said something to the effect of this... "I asked Francios if it was pronounced Bo-sheh-may or Bo-sheh-min and he replied 'Yes'." Spankatola Jamnuts 01-04-2008, 08:33 PM There you go. Definitive proof. Trust the French!

Ummm so which one is it? | ||
