nice catch

Steve Yzerman's number was retired Tuesday night by the Red Wings, who had a little trouble with spelling in his plaque.

The plaque to commemorate Yzerman's accomplishments reads:
"The consumate (sic) team leader whose name is synonimous (sic) with Detroit Red Wings hockey. Played entire 23-year career in Detroit and is the NHL's all-time longest-serving captain with 20 years wearing the "C". First on club's all-time list in assists (1,063), second in goals (692) and points (1,755) and third in games played (1,514). Made 20 post-season appearances and won three Stanley Cups. Detroit's all-time leader in playoff games played (196), goals (70), assists (115) and points (185). Also led team to five Presidents' Trophies and 12 Division Titles. Named to NHL All-rookie Team (1984) and 10 NHL All-Star games. Awarded Lester B. Pearson Trophy as league MVP (1989), Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP (1998), Selke Trophy as Best Defensive Forward (2000), Masterton Trophy for Perserverance (sic) (2002) and Lester Patrick Trophy for dedication to U.S. hockey (2006)."

The words "consummate," "synonymous" and "perseverance" were misspelled.

Spellchecker anyone?
