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

Sure there is, he was in trade discussions at the deadline, he probably will be during the summer. You're preserving the asset to not risk injury and evaluate other players. The team already looks terrible because they have the worst goal differential in the league, nobody will remember it in 3 months

Yeah that’s if he doesn’t want to play. If he wants to play then

a) he will be angry with the team, give up and tank his value next season

b) he or his agent will go to the league to complain

c)both of the above

 

[HunterDuck]

Idiots.

IDIOTS!

 

[goonsaredumb]

Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson, Michkov slipping away

No S Tier Prospect

No A Tier Prospect

Only B+ Prospects for us

I'm almost looking forward to seeing the expression on PV's face when the Ducks logo shows up in 6th place in the lottery.

 

[AngelDuck]

I’m done. Goodnight everyone

See you at the lottery

 

[tomd]

Too much...picking 6th it is.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Dude, Francouz is dogshit lmao, I take back my prior comments about how Colorado is top dog in the West when healthy

 

[HanSolo]

Unf***ing real.

 

[Rasp]

Picking 6th would be horrific but still less likely than top 5

 

[The Duck Knight]

I mean if they're healthy they might very well be. I doubt Landeskog and Makar are magically going to 100% anytime soon though.

Edit: ugly rant

 

[Duck Off]

Anyone who didn’t expect this after the two 5 on 3 kills is clueless. I knew it was happening right after that.

who cares if he's angry? do what's best for your franchise, getting meaningless points in a draft with a potentially transcendent player, plus a few other special ones is absolutely stupid here at the end of the season.

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

chips just haven’t fallen our way unfortunately

As annoying as it is, i can’t fault guys like Henrique or Leason or Jones for going all out… some of them are literally playing for their careers

Just have to hope for a bit of luck for the best odds we can get

 

[LiveLaughDucks]

Hey, at least when we see our logo pulled on the 6th place card we will still have our INTEGRITY! Yay!

 

[ThisIsMyAlibi]

You’ll win the lottery. The hockey gods will shine favorable on the counter tank efforts.

Unfortunately there is a pretty big drop-off after the top 4 picks. Smith is not as good as some are making him out to be. Neither is Benson.

You must be new here. There’s a reason Anaheim has never moved up in the lottery.

Why should 33 year old Henrique give a f*** about the franchise lol… the guy is playing for his next contract

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

This is the worst rollercoaster

 

[Mr Rogers]

Kings may not even need to tank that final game now lol

 

[HunterDuck]

Rantanen pls save us

You just perfectly outlined why we shouldn't care if hes upset

 

[goonsaredumb]

keep the penalties coming boys

 

[HunterDuck]

Dostal bro give it up
