I've seen various hockey blogs quoted in all sorts of different publications, but this might be a new one.

World-wide fame.
Not all positive, apparently. :)
"In his 2089 caused gates shots (Nabokov reflected 1802), but Martin missed a 20 washers less."
oh snap... they totally pwned you there, mirtle.
Martin Brody is also a superb shark slayer who prefers bigger boats.
That translation made absolutely zero sense. But it was funny anyway.
Why the hell does the translator turn "Nabokov" into "Washington"? Has Google never heard of, say, Vladimir Nabokov? (Either of them?)
As for the rest of the translation, a lot of the problem is with transliteration and transcription. Go to Cyrillic and back with some of our less straightforward words, and you get some seriously fucked-up stuff, especially when Russian case rules are applied and the word changes form; it gets even better with French words. Also, computerized-translation word choice is always amusing.
...forward "AK Leopard" Kirill Petrov, and immediately followed defender "Tractors" Vyacheslav Voynov.
Russians have awesome nicknames.
Just to clarify, those are team nicknames, not individual ones.
In Soviet Russia, blog writes you!
Stay away from sushi bars and umbrella tips.
Brodo's "Vezina" did not disconcert me until I read this particular point of view. I am now sufficiently disconcerted by his "Vezina."
