I just know if his middle name isn’t Ivan I’m gonna be upset

His rank is also Ivan

Well, we don't have middle names in this part of the world. And his father's name is Mark.

Do Czechs use patronymics?

 

[Hesher]

Do Czechs use patronymics?

I don't think so.

I like how you just spit that out like someone who (potentially) has English as a second language will know what it means.

I don't even know what that means.


Watch the Czech person know lol.

I had to look it up lol

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

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?

 

[Vaslof]

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

 

[Pokecheque]

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.

 

[Metallo]

He looks extremely pale and fatigued, and clearly losing a lot of hair.... Hope he's doing ok health wise

He's fine...

 

[Cypher]

I'd settle for 1 being an NHL regular. Can't be greedy given the Avs draft and injury luck.

 

[Avs2022]

Why do I feel within entire 2nd line out - we lose 7-1.

 

[JudoKoala]

Y'all know who it is, baby

Getting a nice photodump collection going for when my boy scores his first of the season tonight...... Gonna put my head through the roof...... Snake I's AKA Ivan the Terrible AKA The Grand Prince gonna light this bitch up

 

[MacKaRant]

His rank is also Ivan

Major Major Major Major

This is exactly like that.

Ok, fine, maybe not EXACTLY

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.

Understand. I'm not there yet but I cannot fathom how management can ignore the continual degradation of Georgiev's abilities. It's been an increasing gradient decline of over 18 months in length.

He ain't getting better. He's gotten worse. Most wins is not a performance stat when that's all you have and it's due to the team around you.
