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

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

You really think the league would be cool if Henrique went to the NHLPA and complained?

They took Arizona’s first for taking an early peek at prospects, they would definitely make an example out of us

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

Couldn’t agree more tbh

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

This is where I’d like to see them channel their inner NBA and just take a bunch of soft penalties like this

 

[The Duck Knight]

The refs want us to have nice things.

 

[HunterDuck]

Nasty Nate!

Edit: ugly feeling I hate this I hate rooting against these guys

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

There’s absolutely a chance they lose this in regulation too. Verbeek must have put in a call to the league because that was elite game management

 

[dracom]

time for another "bad call" from the refs

 

[George Binks]

One more time

 

[robbieboy3686]

One more time

We need that odd man rush against that the avs nornally get loads of chances with. But this game haven’t.

 

[goonsaredumb]

this game is going to give me an ulcer

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Franchise altering OT upcoming.

 

[Rasp]

f***

 

[HanSolo]

Such a helpful loser, I mean "pride" point.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Listen I know this is the tank thread so no one really cares about it, but the standard of officiating in this game is so bad

 

[George Binks]

What a terrible and beautiful call

Listen I know this is the tank thread so no one really cares about it, but the standard of officiating in this game is so bad

If this was an important game to win I’d be pissed

 

[dracom]

loser point has never been more appropriate

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

Such an embarrassing call from the refs but I’ll take it

 

[ff8]

At least all these f***ing losers got was the loser point. But damn

 

[George Binks]

Only needed 8 power plays

 

[Rasp]

could have been worse

 

[goonsaredumb]

Thank god, now it's just like we won the Arizona game like everyone expected we would, just got to hope and pray for a Chicago and Jackets win

 

[George Binks]

Chicago and Columbus please just win a f***ing game

 

[Rasp]

The danger now is we could win our next games. Remember Terry and LaCombe will be in the team

 

[McDonald19]

Listen I know this is the tank thread so no one really cares about it, but the standard of officiating in this game is so bad

Yup, I wanted Colorado to score in OT but the picks (interference) Rantanen was pulling in the offensive zone were ridiculous.

 

[HunterDuck]

Chicago and Columbus please just win a f***ing game

*Chicago and Columbus, being geniuses*: “Lol, no”
