Osgood gets interviewed by McCarty and creates a new word.  Is the spelling correct?

It’s a real word, Paul. Apparently invented by Canadians:

Ha shep, you learn something every day!

Yep. We like odd words and weird spellings in this country, as you all should know by now.

Though I had no idea that particular word wasn’t used in the United States. Maybe in some places and not others? I’d have assumed it was a common term.

Kerfuffle, without the first ‘L’, is the more common spelling, and the one the title to this post suggests Osgood is trying for. It has 3 entries on dictionary.com, as opposed to 1 for ‘kerfluffle’. I’ve also used it, so it isn’t new, just Canadian.

Oh man, is that a great video. Good stuff. I think D-Mac is setting up his post Wings career. He’s a heck of a lot better at interviewing than the Douche Canoe.

ummmmmmm, is that a coors light in d-macs hand???  he can’t be that thoughtless can he?

Todzilla: seriously. He sounded ok, and the can looked a little slim to be a beer can (something tall and slim?), but I sure as hell thought it was a beer can at first.

I like how osgood spoke out about the refs, everyone knows they were pushin for a game 7, the wings just were way better than to talk about it while the playoffs were still rollin. . . they shut everyone up with their skills instead.

Thats why I mentioned a coors light: backpacking dad, its tall and slim… although these days, with all the energy drinks I guess its possible that it is one of those…

Really?  Kerfuffle is distinctly Canadian?

Don’t tell me you guys don’t know what a brouhaha is, either!

A brouhaha is a considerable amount of excitement, often used in reference to a brawl.
