When the NHL for some reason tweeted (since deleted) a video over the weekend of Boston Bruins player Chris Wagner scoring a playoff goal and referred to him as the “Pride and joy of Wellesley, Massachusetts,” those in the know about him being a Walpole native were none too pleased.

A sampling of the tweets issued in response to the gaffe:

As many have pointed out, Wagner is from Walpole but at least they spelled Wellesley (pronounced Wellsley) correctly. Not many outside of Massachusetts do because it's one of those towns/cities we have that don't sound exactly the way it's spelled. https://t.co/9nPH5WnrrA

Not that the Bruins have not had players from Wellesley. Eddie Barry was one Wellesley High grad who made it to the NHL.
