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

Not that I was on Team Tank, but I'm not displeased with this outcome.

 

[LiveLaughDucks]

We control our own destiny now. Don’t fumble the bag, Ducks.

 

[rlstine]

Still laughing at their announcers openly rooting for them to lose

 

[Goose of Reason]

Johnny Hockey!!!! Let's go!!!

Anaheim and SJ going to finish 32 and 31 potentially I believe

 

[ScarTroy]

Literally unreal, of all teams to help our tank it was the Pens.

We're #1! We're #1! ... at this moment!

 

[HanSolo]

So if Columbus can take Buffalo to OT tomorrow, we could beat LA tonight and we'd finish last.

 

[ADHB]

Bet this color guy doesn’t have the balls to repeat the sentiment to Hutchison in this interview. Pretty unprofessional actually.

So if Columbus can take Buffalo to OT tomorrow, we could beat LA tonight and we'd finish last.

Chicago would also need to win.

Bold of you to operate under the assumption Chicago is winning this game.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Chicago would also need to win.

Which could happen midway through our game tonight!

 

[Rasp]

Its all on you Eakins. Do the right thing

A lot of people fail to realize a lot of these guys are playing for the livelihood. Like in other sports these undrafted/unproven guys always try their hardest because not only are they trying for a spot in their team but showcase their talent to the league so they can get other offers

I think Chicago pulls it off for toews

Yeah exactly. Teams tank but players don’t, and especially not the guys who may or may not have an NHL job next season.

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

We’re definitely about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

 

[Sean Garrity]

Literally unreal, of all teams to help our tank it was the Pens.

Who won all of those trades now?

 

[Mr Rogers]

Craziness

Let me rest easy and just lose tonight please Ducks

 

[ADHB]

If they had McGinn instead of Granlund, would they have won this game??? Hmm…

I didn’t think this was possible but this statement is factually correct.

 

[QuackAttack90]

We control our own destiny! Let’s play an awful game tonight and guarantee ourselves one of the top 3!
