The Penguins' Conor Sheary has a correction for fans — the pronunciation of his last name.

It's not 'Sheer-y' and it doesn't rhyme with 'cheery.'

It is 'Share-y' and sounds like 'cherry.' Penguins public address announcer Ryan Mills got to the bottom of the mistake everyone — including him — has been making in this video posted to his Twitter account.

Dude had what, nearly three years to clarify that? He's staying as Sheer-y.

Classic case of a player getting a big contract and becoming a malcontent...

My thoughts on it, if it bothered you that much make a comment in year 0.

Nashville forward Pontus Aberg changed how he wanted his name pronounced over the offseason as well.

This after last evening's Kuhnuckle debacle. Ruin my day why don't you.

Ä doesn't make the "Oh" sound...so he didn't know what he was talking about to begin with...

Seems like a small matter. No reason for him to get short with everyone, though it doesn't surprise me that something of such low importance would go over his head.

Also, **** him.

Share-y is slaying it this year. Call him what he wants.

...anyone still annoyed by that contract?

Postby **nocera** » Thu Nov 02, 2017 12:58 pm

His own teammates have referred to him as "Shearsy" as in sheer-sy. I hope he had a sit down with them.

I'm not annoyed, but I'll always be a bit distrustful of it.

Hockey players should just adopt shikona (stage names) like sumo wrestlers. Then they could change them any time they want to. Former Ōzeki Terunofuji is currently on his fifth name change.
