In fairness to Craig Forrest, he played in the UK from 17 or 18 years. You can't live somewhere that long without some of it rubbing off onto you.
If a Brit came onto a hockey forum and started talking about the Flames' kits and using other football lingo, he'd be mocked accordingly. You just use the lingo of the sport in question.
