I hate people who pronounce their own names wrong... the letters sheary do not ever make sharree as their sound. You can't just say "it's pronounced X" when the phonetics don't support it. Some letters obviously do make multiple possible sounds, but this isn't one of those cases. It's like the chick from Shark Tank... Lori Greiner... your name is Gryner, not Grenneer. Your name is spelled GrEIner, not Grenier. Why not just say, it's Sheary, pronounced Johnson. You're making up your own rules anyway.

As George Carlin would say - it's his name he can pronounce it any way he wants. Without knowing the origin of the name, or even the original spelling, you can't say how it's pronounced.

Schultz had more good plays on his last shift than some defensemen have an entire game

Perhaps it's a Tocchet thing. Didn't the Pens lead the league in Too Many Men penalties last year? If not it sure seemed like it.

They are better off taking penalties, Lord knows the Pens aren't doing a damn thing with their power play chances.
