I'm pretty sure there will be many who have Nuke higher on the list.
And of course, most of my fellow old-timers still have May as enemy #1.
But honestly speaking, I can't think of an Av that I found less personable. Georgiev was simply hard to like. Even the whole, "I grew up a fan of the Central All-Stars, it's an honor to put this jersey on" thing fell flat because there was no way in hell he should have been at the All-Star game in the first place.
He has talent, no doubt about it. But he's not capable of keeping it together. That's gotta be tough. I've never had talent, but to have it and have it be a fickle bitch can not be an easy row to hoe.

Best part is Toews looking at Georgiev in disgust as Mikko reams him out. Didn't even bother trying to get Mikko to calm down.Oh shit, I had heard about that whole thing with Rants but I didn't see it until just now. Whoa, he was PISSED and George seemed a little taken aback.
Anyway, see ya bud.
You can abide bad and respect the effort, or good with being a shit.
When you're bad and you're a shit people put soap in their pillow cases.
Rightfully so

Man, I never saw that in the Navy. I did see a few folks get a wire brush shower. They learned personal hygeine quickly after that.
I'm trying to picture this lol. I've never heard of it, but props for creativity.
We didn't do it, but we were close in basic. They thankfully got rid of the dude.
Sometimes it just isn't your thing.

On submarines there is a thing called hot-racking. Newer and lower level enlisted people don't warrant their own bed, so 3 guys get to split 2 beds. A day on a submarine is 18 hours (3 6 hour watches). So whenever one guy gets off watch and is able to hit the rack, it's still warm from the dude that just got up. Hence... hotracking.
So now if you have a dude that isn't particularly keen on his personal hygiene and he's hotracking with others, you can see where it could be a point of conflict. When conversations don't resolve things in the Navy, we usually resort to tools. And in this case, you'd throw his stinky ass in the shower and scrub him down with a steel wire brush.
Never saw a guy not take the hint.

Thank you Georgiev. I know most people hate you here, but when I watched you, all I ever saw was a guy trying his hardest, but often not playing well enough. All I can really ask for the players I watch is effort, and you did that. Hopefully you have a good career as a backup or the KHL. Obviously things didn't work out here because of how poorly you played, but I genuinely hope you figure things out and become a good goalie.

Damnit @MarkT.
Why do you have to walk in here and take the high road and make me feel like a complete schmuck.
Eh, probably because I was being a complete schmuck.

f*** off 4giev
There has not been a more unlikable avalanche in quite some time. To be fair, it was managements and the coaches decision to treat this bum like he is some star goaltender.

Are you sure you weren't being a Schmo?
How about a Schlemiel, Schlimazel, Putz, Yutz, or Nudnik?

He wishes they were lol
No way I'm believing that unless she has zero confidence. Or he was a nerd and studied hard his whole life watching porn and is Dirk Diggler.
I'm not seeing it lol.
I've never seen f*** off put so nicely. Good job
He can f*** off to f***ersville and be the #1 there.

Si no entiendo nada if she chooses THAT.
He's a nerd with fine grained mahogany, and a trust fund no one knows about if so.
That or women are desperate these days for anything that acts like a human male should. Which is also possible.

Body language analysis: She consistently leans away from him whenever he faces her. His eyes continuously shift up and down when he's looking at her (cleavage?). If there's any attraction there, it's one-way.
That's how I see their interaction.
"I have to put up with this weird dude because I'm trying to make a career in Sports journalism, and he's a little more weird than normal"
Guys just ask me out instead of eye f***ing me on video cam every time for years..

I could care less who is sleeping with who.
I just want good Avalanche content. I'm not here for the drama. Remember when journalists made a big deal about not making themselves the story. That's my biggest gripe with the new sports journalism. It started back with Bucci and the likes on ESPN, but journalists decided to become hip instead of well connected. I think that was a bad trade off for the sports fan.

This is true, but in a world of reality TV, and the Avs coverage continuing to be less than respectable outside of TMV.
Yeah, ill let myself talk shit lol.
This is the same guy who was caught with his pants down over a paper transaction.
Your main point is spot on though. I just can't take most of these people seriously anymore.
