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

What did I miss? Lol.

 

[JohnnyDrama]

Come on man. For everything they’ve put us through, please do the right thing and f***ing just tank this game lmao

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

You've gotta think Jody Shelley understands that better than most though, being a former enforcer.

Vocalizing the sentiment is a lot different than just thinking it. Hazy might feel the same way, but I don't think he's ever said something to that effect.

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

that would honestly be great for California hockey. I wanna the California road trip to be feared again

 

[cheesymc]

Omg all we need to do is not win… no one better score tonight and just smile and take the Kings pounding like the legendary Jenna Jameson.

 

[Static]

And the extra points, holy shit

 

[Hockey Duckie]

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

Did you mean it the other way around, providing it was a pessimistic statement:

"We're definitely about to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat?"

 

[Rasp]

Someone tell Gibby whats on the line

 

[QuackAttack90]

What did I miss? Lol.

Columbus won!

If we lose tonight we are guaranteed a top 3 pick and the best chances for Bedard.

 

[HanSolo]

Of course Chicago takes an early goal against.

 

[tomd]

This all goes to sh!t if the Ducks win tonight.

 

[QuackAttack90]

Someone tell Gibby whats on the line

Screw that. Put Shattenkirk in at Goalie

 

[Leonardo87]

Columbus won!

If we lose tonight we are guaranteed a top 3 pick and the best chances for Bedard.

Yeah we gotta lose, it sucks, but it has to happen and in regulation.

 

[George Binks]

Wtf is Aly doing?

 

[HanSolo]

that would honestly be great for California hockey. I wanna the California road trip to be feared again

As long as it pushes Chicago down I'm here for it.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Omg all we need to do is not win… no one better score tonight and just smile and take the Kings pounding like the legendary Jenna Jameson.

or mount a come back like Kim Kardashian

 

[HanSolo]

Chicago would also need to win.

Yeah true.

 

[HunterDuck]

Rico and Gibby preparing to ruin our lives for the next few months/years:

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Lose and we’re guaranteed bedard fantilli or carlsson(michkov if we go that route).

Are the kings still playing for anything at game time? Please say yes

 

[George Binks]

Screw that. Put Shattenkirk in at Goalie

I’ll f***ing do it, I got some gear in my garage

 

[HanSolo]

This all goes to sh!t if the Ducks win tonight.

Not if Columbus gets an OTL or win tomorrow.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Lose and we’re guaranteed bedard fantilli or carlsson(michkov if we go that route).

Are the kings still playing for anything at game time? Please say yes

yes

 

[George Binks]

Chicago about to lose in regulation, no room to mess around tonight

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

It is honestly unfathomable how you can make Petr Mrazek look like a competent NHL starter, but Alex Stalock manages to do it. Good lord, he's terrible.

 

[HanSolo]

Yeah might have to give up on getting help from Chicago. After a great first period they've completely disappeared.
