I had to look it up lol

And I'm still not sure, that's why I answered I don't think so :D

Oh, sorry, in Russia they don't have middle names, they have patronymics, a name derived from your father. So if Ivan Ivan was Russian, his name would be Ivan Marekovich Ivan. If he were a woman her name would be Ivan Marekovna Ivan. Didn't know what the Czech custom was.

Interesting to note, on my extremely cursory research, the Czechs have a very, very wide variety of surnames, but not first names. Complete opposite of my mother's homeland in Korea where there's only like five surnames and practically half the population has the same one (Kim, which of course is my mother's maiden name).

No, the Czechs (or us Slovaks) don't do that. The former Czechoslovakia copied a lot of things from the Russians/Soviets but not that.

Is that using the fathers first name? Mexico seems to use both last names. Is that an example of Patronymics?

Did Ivan really not play last season? Maybe I'm remembering last years camp and his performance back then.

No that's something else, a patronymic is indeed derived from the father's first name. For example, Kovalenko's full name is Nikolai Andreyevich Kovalenko, since of course his old man is former Av Andrei Kovalenko.

No, he played a total of 70 AHL games last season between regular season and playoffs.

This is the first season in a long time where I’m legitimately feeling pessimistic and uninterested after the first game of the season.

We have the same shitty goaltending we had last year, no possibility to improve it, and will have to live with Georgiev for the season. Nobody will trade for him.

It’s the realization that this team with George between the pipes is a second round exit in the most hopeful of situations. It just truly demoralizes me.

Cocaine helps, at least for a little bit. I know a guy…

I felt that way last year about the roster until CMac got RyJo the f*** out of here and found Mittelstadt.

I trust the little nerd to see the issues with Georgiev and rectify.

How long I'm able to keep my blood pressure at a calm level watching him on the Avs until that happens is a different question.
