OT: If the Detroit Red Wings players were cars...

[Gniwder]

That's more like Kronwall in his final season.

On a side note, those shitty little Nissan trucks seem to run forever if you buy them with a manual transmission.

People seem to prefer Toyotas though. Resale value for used Toyota trucks even stuff from the 80's is pretty stupid on the West Coast, like $5 to 7k stupid for trucks with over 300k miles. You could buy 3 or 4 Ford Rangers of the same vintage for the same amount of money.

Cars last forever in areas where they don't use salt. I just replaced a CV axle in my 2001 Focus yesterday (manual of course). I have 6 cars and it's still my daily driver because it's the easiest one to fix and gets the best mileage.

Blashill: The plymouth horizon. It most certainly is a car...but is it what you want to take you from point a to point b?

I view Blashill like a Tesla. He represents a different definition to the commonly held car and has had plenty of issues along the way, but given enough time and resources, it is proving to be a viable car in the modern car world, even though many people will never accept it because of their preconceived notions of what is a good car and that does not include an EV.

DeKeyser is ironically on the people mover.

Technically a luxury car… but
Technically an NHLer…. But
Also looks like the McConaughey type.

 

[bedtime20]

Interesting choice. What's the reason? Because of how much they've carried us?

Yeah pretty much, they carry us by collecting/saving pucks.

I want to know who is the Cybertruck.

As an aside, I unironically love the Cybertruck and think it's a far superior form factor to modern trucks and if I ever needed anything this big it would be at the top of my list.

And I say that as someone that thinks Elon is a wanker.

@Gniwder


Six? You had 5 the last time you made mention iirc?

What'd you add?

If you don't mind me asking what other vehicles do you own? make/model?

(you don't have to list the year if you feel uncomfortable)


Are you a car hoarder ?


Also, Happy HondaDays, even if you celebrate ToyotaThon instead

I'm not a truck/SUV guy either, though I do appreciate some of them as a utility vehicle.

The Cybertruck is certainly interesting, agreed.


@Bench What makes Elon a "wanker" (such a British term) in your mind?

 

[Hen Kolland]

Yeah pretty much, they carry us by collecting/saving pucks.

If that’s the case, make Greiss a Mercedes Benz Sprinter van

Well, I mean he named one of his children X Æ A-12.

I think this pretty much describes Soderblom.

I feel like this isn’t a player, but a personality outside of the organization. Prashanth Iyer. Complete a total departure from everything that is conventional hockey. The analytics guru. What can advanced metrics tell us, why eye test scouting isn’t more useful than analytical scouting, how bulletproof glass on a truck is useful at all (even though there are holes poked in analytics all the time).

All this talk about analytics…by god that’s Athanasiou’s music.

I dunno, kinda small for him.

Was going to take this one step further and use a Transformer. Just a big behemoth that also surprises the shit out of you when he transforms and reveals the soft hands and touch of a guy 10 inches shorter

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Yeah, you're right. This is more fitting.

Larkin is a Lion - King of the jungle and apex predator

Vrana is a Cheetah - Fast and deadly

Raymond is a Panther - Kind of mysterious and scary (how good he is)

Seider is a Tiger - Big, lethal and not to be f***ed with

Bertuzzi is a stray tomcat - Tough, scrappy and will f**k you up if you piss him off

Zadina is a Sphynx - Not horrible, just kind of off-putting to a lot of people

Rasmussen is Garfield - Just a big, lovable p***y

Edit: I think I misunderstood the assignment

Love the animal analogies.


(Sir David Attenborough British accent & voice):

"Though Lions are often referred to as 'King of the Jungle', they're really King of the Bush & plains of sub-Saharan Africa, the Serengeti etc. It is the tigers who are the real Kings of the Jungle, as they are much larger, stronger, can jump higher, climb higher, they hunt alone & Actually live in the Jungle"


Seider - Kimodo Dragon

Bert - Tasmanian Devil / domestic HoneyBadger or European HoneyBadger (even deadlier)

Vrana - Shark, fast, strikes without warning, you rarely see it coming.

Zadina - one of those giant (5ft. wingspan) Bats from the Philipines & surrounding islands. Still somewhat of a mystery & rarely seen.

Ras - the Abominable Snowman / Great Pyrenees

In the process of replacing the 2002 Mountaineer with a 2002 Explorer (same engine/trans). The Mountaineer is a Michigan vehicle and is completely rusting out. Just need a duck hunting vehicle, so don't want to buy anything new. It gets really muddy in Washington, it rains like every day during the winter and the duck fields are all farms. I stick to corn fields, you can literally sink 2 ft in a wet potato field after they've harvested. Everything gets muddy and transfers to the inside of the vehicle.

ok, so any really interesting cars, i.e. sports cars? exotics? vintage/classics?

do you prefer all domestic or mix?
