Pre-Game Talk: Week of Drop the F'n Puck: @VGK(Wed 8PM), vCBJ(Sat 7PM)

30 mpg for a Corvette isn’t bad. It’s like 16 city 24 highway for the new ones but if you drive it slowly you can get that to 30 mpg on the highway I guess, although I think I’d have difficulty driving slowly in the Corvette

It's listed at 27 for the early C6s 2005 to 2007, and yeah it's easy to hit 30+ at 70 to 75.

It depends on the mood, traffic patterns, etc and once you have that power, and are used to it, it's interesting how easy it is to be more chill with the throttle lol.

But yes I can go through a half a tank in the same distance I go through 1/8 if I so choose and traffic is lighter. Sunset drives with a radar detector make it all worth it lol.

 

[MacKaRant]

Predictions for Georgie tonight?

I’m going with 4 goals on 19 shots.

I think he’s going to bounce back and have a strong performance.

Let's just put it this way, you should be mentally prepared to change the sheets tonight, because Georgiev is going to sh*t the bed

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Fourgiev is gonna get pulled midway through the 2nd after allowing his 4th goal in 13 shots. Fatty comes in and lets in one goal on 11 shots

Ambulanche somehow take this 6-5, Mack's line combining for 5 of those goals

 

[dahrougem2]

I genuinely believe Columbus wins tonight.

MacK and Mikko probably combine for 3 goals but Jackets will win 5-4 in overtime.

 

[UncleRisto]

Gonna win 3-2 after a bad game.

What if we go 2-12 in October?

 

[CobraAcesS]

What if we go 2-12 in October?

Now that's how you get cheap ELC players that actually may do something.

It also means I need to find another team to enjoy watching hockey this year.

 

[LOFIN]

More likely that Georgiev wins the Vezina this year than that occurring

I can never cheer for another team. I’ll just have to suffer the misery of losing and deal with it

 

[Gruyeriev]

Not a huge surprise. Annunen didn't really make a case for himself either. Korpisalo isn't even in the country yet (immigration), and even if he was they would not throw him into the deep end straight away. Besides, it's so early in the season, even Georgiev deserves a bounce back chance (yeah yeah, we've seen enough during the last two years but still)

You mean Kahkonen right?

 

[LOFIN]

You mean Kahkonen right?

Yes. I blame beer for mixing it up.

 

[Chiarelli]

It's honestly to the point that I hope we lose, and badly. 7-0 Columbus let's go. Put some heat on our passive management to make a move at goalie they won't otherwise. Does anyone realistically believe Georgiev can turn it around and string together enough consistency to give this team a chance to win regularly? The answer is no.

What can they even do realistically? Who can they trade for? I literally can’t think of anyway out of this mess for the foreseeable future.

Hoping your team to lose (if you are not tanking) is next level.

What f***ing move even is out there? Give me a name.

Avs got blown out last year and it didn't change a thing.

Then they won't have to worry about losing in round 2 of the playoffs, and Bednar will need to file for unemployment.

Spencer Knight or take a shot on Gibson?

Lol, I've had my side pieces over the years.

I don't have other teams I cheer for, but as a spiteful individual, I find a lot of enjoyment in cheering against certain teams.

Only care about the Avs winning.

Like to see the following lose, in order of satisfaction:

Leafs
Canucks
Oilers
Wild
Flames
Red Wings
Jets

So you cheat?

Yup me too. I cheer against few teams

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Spencer Knight or take a shot on Gibson?

I doubt Spencer Knight is available. Bob has just 2 seasons left on his deal (including this year), and he's 36. Knight will take over for him in 2026.

Yeah, there is that too lol. You had to get creative in the truely dark years.
