Remember that time a few years ago when we were playing Philly, and Biron was still with the Flyers, and during the recap, the reporter kept switching which team Miller and Biron were on. |

 It really annoys me when other teams' announcers pronounce Derek Roy as Derek "Wah". Come on, he's been in the league for like 6 years! |

The correct pronunciation is Roy. He's said that he doesn't care of people call him 'Wah' because it's too much work to correct everyone. |

Yeah, I remember Roy saying that. I can sort of relate, so many people pronounce my name "Carolyn" even after I correct them. So I just give up sometimes. |

 It's not even close, but at least the number of letters were correct.

No. Caroline = Care-OH-LINE (kind of like how you say carolina, minus the 'a') Carolyn = Care-Oh-LINN |

Derek Roy's name is actually supposed to be pronounced like Patrick Roy's. He said this in an interview: Quote: Is it true that ROY is not the correct pronunciation of your last name? If so, what is?
"ROY is the English way to pronounce it, but I have French heritage – my family is French and I went to French school my school my whole life. The correct pronunciation is actually WEH." |
