Some thoughts:

• Will this mean we actually get to watch the Spengler Cup on TV in the US for once?
• Do I have to root against them because Gadowsky is coaching?
• Another chance for people to mispronounce Davos (which usually only happens during the World Economic Forum)

Eastern Bias!

Apparently they streamed last year's on YouTube for countries without a TV deal:

It's not DAH-voes?  That's how I have it for 60 years.  I like I can hear the whole thing in Slovak, a series of monosyllables permeated by belches and curses on Ruthenians and Sorbs.   https://folklife.si.edu/images/blog/zapust-procession.jpg

It's Da-VOS, with the emphasis on the second syllable.  That's the pronunciation I learned when HCD came to play in Bern, watching the Spengler Cup on Swiss TV (with Ralph Krueger doing the color commentary), and taking the train there on a Eurail trip after I'd moved to Germany.

So, the cadence of Tattoo saying "Zee Plane!"

That's also the pronunciation in Wikipedia.

you can pry this billion dollar bill out of my cold, dead hands before i pronounce it with the accent on the second syllable
