Yeah, I used to get worried if my symptoms were a product of aging or a product of going on 5 years of actively trying to kill every quickly growing cell in my body. Hair, skin, white blood cells... all of it and much more gets taken out on bi-weekly basis with a 48+ hour infusion. It unfortunately leads to bouts with "chemo-brain".

Two things I've started to really struggle with when typing over the last few years are homonyms (keep typing the wrong form of the word for its intended use) and tenses (I switch between tenses in the same sentence.) I kinda figure mis-reading RIAL's post with the tweet... My brain simply transcribed does to doesn't. Lots of reasons that could happen including a freudian hope. Definitely something to keep an eye on as that was a rather new and startling error. I don't normally completely mis-read someone's intent. As you know, I can and unfortunately have talked past someone's intent, but to completely misunderstand properly written english... yeah.

Most everything else is due to me just being an idiot.

Need better emoji reactions for posts like this.

I wouldn't read too much into the does/doesn't unless it starts happening frequently. Could easily just be a product of skimming a sentence quickly, and making an assumption on what it said, which can happen to us all.

I get ya. And I appreciate it.

Like I said, I think in this case, it most likely was a case of a Freudian hope. I wanted him to come over, so my brain was hoping to see "This DOESN'T sound like a loan."

I don't see why there should be any alarm about loaning him to the KHL. Have we forgotten that our goalie development over here has been less than stellar? Ask yourselves: does everybody here trust our goalie development staff to mould him into a starting goalie?

Russian goalie development is some of the best in the world right now. Giving them another year with him can't be that bad, unless you think the Avs development team is better than the KHL's.

And loaning him out doesn't signal anything about his commitment to the NHL. Guys like Kaprizov, Shesterkin, and Nikishin have all decided to remain in Russia until they're fully ripe, and it hasn't hurt them. Actually, the fact that he put ink to paper should be a sign that he's more serious than those guys!

There's absolutely nothing to panic about here.

I don't disagree with you at all.

Whatever happened to Gigantor the Goalie? I would sort of expected to see him chime in at some point.

On a light hearted note, my auto correct keeps f***ing with me with some funny corrections.

Keeps changing Yzerman to Sherman on me, and Seider to Sexier. What's its excuse?

The ELC, development camp, everything points to him wanting to come.

Now, if we screw around and try to leave him in the AHL for multiple seasons, not gonna fly.
He’s already 22 years old and will have 3 seasons as a starter in the KHL by end of next season.
He’ll be ready to go in the NHL if he’s good enough.

Had a buddy about 10 years ago and we used to play April Fools' Day jokes on each other at work.

One year he flipped my monitors so I had to move the mouse to the right to get to my left hand monitor and vice versa. Jack-ass completely rebuilt my desktop so it looked normal as well.

So the next year, I went into his computers library and made an edit so everytime he typed "UAF" it would output "UAA".

We worked for the University of Alaska Fairbanks, not the University of Alaska Anchorage.

Happy to say it took him longer to figure out what was going wrong than it took me.

So... if I get this right, he's angling to stay at home this season, come over at the playoffs and get enough games/practice in to compete at camp for the potentially open spot, assuming we don't just re-sign Scooter.

 

[MacKaRtin]

Complete waste of a year under contract.

I think this helps retain his rights and now there won't be any drama with his KHL team trying to extort a transfer fee for 2026-27. Also gives him the freedom to come over and help either the Avalanche or Eagles in the playoffs, just like Kovalenko did against the Jets
