Turin Tongue Twisters

Not only do the players have to get used to a lot of different things in the Olympics (ice surface, new teamates) but how about the play-by-play announcers who have to learn a whole raft of diffcult names for TV broadcast?

Goaltender Milan Hnilicka Czech Republic
Goaltender Gunther Hell Italy (ok his name just sounds cool)
Goaltender Edgars Masalskis Latvia

Defense Sascha Goc Germany
Defense Lasse Kopitz Germany
Defense Artyom Argokov Kazakhstan
Defense Karlis Skrastins Latvia
Defense Atvars Tribuncovs Latvia
Defense Milan Jurcina Slovakia
Defense Daniel Tjarnqvist Sweden
Defense Severin Blindenbacher Switzerland

Forward Flavien Conne Switzerland
Forward Rostislav Olesz Czech Republic
Forward Antti Laaksonen Finland
Forward Petr Fical Germany
Forward Lucio Topatigh Italy
Forward Dmitriy Upper Kazakhstan
Forward Andrey Pchelyakov Kazakhstan
