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

So proud of Chicago going full spoiler mode even at their own expense.

Don't count your chickens just yet.

Yeah I'm still worried about the Sharks. I can't see them getting another point. But I said the same thing about Chicago and Columbus and I'm already wrong about one of them so who knows?

I feel like anaheim could win both games tbh.


On the plus side i think that game is somewhat significant for the kings, so they should come to play.... but maybe they want to avoid oilers in round 1? lol

I think in the west, oilers are the worst matchup for kings.

Columbus has a home game remaining against Buffalo to end the season. We shall see how they end up but I could see them picking up another point.

The bottom line, once again, is that Anaheim HAS to lose the last 2 games in regulation to have a realistic shot at the 1 or 2 seed

San Jose still has a chance to finish dead last…

That game is Buffalo's fourth in five days, and they are eliminated from playoff contention now. The effort might not be that high for them.

Hey fellas will make this thread live for you, make it easier.

 

[Terry Yake]

I'm hoping for a combination of the following factors applies to that game:

1. LA is still fighting for playoff seeding
2. LA gives a shit about winning a rivalry game
3. Anaheim plays like they can't wait for the season to end.

Now that I think about it I'm wondering if McTavish looking pretty meh lately has something to do with Bedard lol.

Seattle has tie breaker on kings. Technically even if Seattle loses tonight. If Seattle wins Thursday night and kings lose in reg To us, Seattle gets 3rd seed

Hawks hit the post on an empty net bid with 3 mins left…

 

[HanSolo]

2 minutes left to hit that empty net just f***ing once.

 

[HanSolo]

Penguins have been so sloppy with the puck, likely nerves. A better team would have buried them by now.

 

[HunterDuck]

CHICAGO LFG

 

[HanSolo]

I've never loved the Blackhawks more.

 

[Static]

Can't complain with the results tonight, still have a shot.

 

[LiveLaughDucks]

Man, if Hawks can beat a Penguins team practically playing in an elimination playoff game, I sure have hope for them to handle Philly too.

 

[Leonardo87]

 

[rlstine]

Woooooo

 

[George Binks]

f*** Shittsburgh

 

[AngelDuck]

the 2 or 3 seed for us is most likely. With an outside shot at 1 or 4

 

[LiveLaughDucks]

All thing considered… I’m SO glad I’m not a Penguins fan this year.

 

[Terry Yake]

massive hawks win

please lock henrique and vatrano in a closet before tonight's game

 

[ohcomeonref]

Chicago with a gift tonight.

 

[HunterDuck]

Lmao pure chaos

 

[tomd]

I hope I'm still happy in 3 hours...but I'm worried I'll be pissed.
