2023 Tank Thread (Mod post Page 60)

[GunnarStahl]

Since it seems the Ducks will likely finish bottom 5 this year, I figured we should have a thread for discussing the implications of where the f***s will finish in the standings. As well as what factors could affect where they finish.

Tonight was interesting as all bottom 5 teams earned 2 points sans the Ducks and the Hawks.

Hey Folks,

Want to clear some of the air here, Tank talk is not an issue, please talk tank to your heart’s content here, totally understand how critical it is for that Future Potential Top pick. The issue is posting in the GDT, like you want the team to lose or make posts that you are angry they are winning or won the game, or bashing the team for not tanking.

The main reason is, to respect your fellow members. The GDT is about discussion of the game on a live basis and then post game discussion and opinions. A lot of fans are not rooting for the team to lose, and everyone has their views and opinions towards tanking, and may not want to discuss tanking in the GDT

If you guys have any concerns, feel free to PM me or another mod, and would be happy to explain more in detail.

Thanks!

Leo

Lose out and we guarantee a top 3 pick. No more f***ing around boys

 

[Terry Yake]

not even getting my hopes up. you just know vezina candidate gibson will show up these next handful of games and vatrano will keep scoring

still going to brace myself for picking 6th

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

We’re gonna f*** this up

The Arizona game is the one that gives me worry. The rest are almost guaranteed loses unless the opposing team rests players.

Be honest with yourself, even if we finish last, there's absolutely no way you believe we're really winning the lottery.

they'll for sure end up winning at least one of the coyotes and canucks games

now would be a perfect time to shut gibson down for the rest of the season

of course not. but securing a top 3 pick would be massive

If teemu says we're getting bedard. It's happening lol

it really is just that simple haha. i mean really us losing this position would be like a football team who just has to kneel on each down to win the game deciding not to and subsequently throwing an interception and losing the game.

it's time to submerge, we've come this far and only have a week left. would be infuriating if they blow this.

I agree. I want guaranteed top 3. I can relax after that.

I feel like the Canucks always beat us. But who knows, that's why you play the games.

you know they'll put Henrique in as soon as he can play as well

henrique isn't going to be the one who ruins the tank. it'd be gibson, dostal, or going off his recent performances, vatrano

 

[dracom]

is it an unreasonable ask for the team to sit guys like Gibson, Terry, Rico, Mctavish and gibson for the season?

you never know. Rico is more than capable when healthy of pushing them to a win on a given night with a random goal. who knows what kinda shape he's in right now tho i guess.

can they just call up OEE to start the rest of the season? that'd be awesome

Or run the ball against the Patriots to win the Super Bowl……

Gibson is so good sometimes you'd swear there were 2 of him.

Terry is the only one who might have an NHLPA problem with being sat, because he would probably like to pad his stats a bit for his contract. Although with his wife's situation, he also is the most reasonable one to shut down for the remainder of the season.

 

[lwvs84]

Nesterenko is really sick right? I think for team solidarity, all the players should stay with him and make sure he's OK. If they catch it, then I guess they can't play.

 

[Duck Off]

Still think we wind up 3rd pre lottery. 0 doubt in my mind chicago winds up with 1st overall regardless of where they finish in the standings. 0

i still think it'll be a team on the outside of the tank race who ends up with #1. someone like the blues, caps, or flyers

Maybe Montreal, but no way they let Conor go to a small market team.

If that happens.. Hawks jackets and ducks fans protest!!

 

[tomd]

The Ducks have 3 winnable games remaining in addition to a prime upset possiblity against Edmonton tomorrow.

 

[Mr Rogers]

it really will be interesting to see how the Kings play in that final game if everything is set in stone for them at that point.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Sharks battle back from 3-1 down to tie it at 3, despite the fact that Chris Lee has spent the majority of this game acting like he doesn't want to officiate it.
