How do you pronounce "Byfuglien"?

I've become a fan of Dustin Byfuglien. Nice kid, power forward, and has had plenty of success this post-season.

The only issue I have is the name. It's pronounced "Bufflin", which I never understood. I mean, um, those sounds don't seem to match the letters.

Well, thanks to Bloge Salming, a hidden camera, and a time machine... now it all makes sense.

  1. Sadly, not one of my favorites. I id enjoy the parting shot at the very end though.

  2. First time I ever saw his name in print, but had yet to see it written, I pronounced it By-Foog-Lee-In

  5. I can't help but laugh when I see him, as he looks just like Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder. Also, I've been asking about that name for a long time, too.

  7. Hilarious! But now I have to remember to check out Down Goes Spezza tomorrow for his not-nearly-as-funny video, "How do you pronounce 'Krajicek'?"

  12. The fact that he has "fugli" in the middle of his name, and it applies, doesn't help matters any.

  13. I always call him butt-fuggin-uglian and wish he was a Red Wing where he'd be called bufflin.
