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

I know the people rag on him, but imagine finishing last with as talented a goaltender as John Gibson and potentially finishing last. Good on Max

 

[Mr Rogers]

Kings to PP. thanks, Max!

 

[HanSolo]

I guess Verbeek is a Good Boy and hates tanking

Eakins desperate to save his job

 

[Trojans86]

wtf terry. So selfish

 

[HunterDuck]

Eric Cartman needs to start warming his vocal chords up

 

[HanSolo]

After this powerplay ends we need Ducks fans in the building to start throwing shit on the ice. Not a second too early.

 

[Mr Rogers]

you don't realize how good Gibson is until you actually root against him

 

[Terry Yake]

kings aren't even trying

 

[AngelDuck]

Byfield is an incredibly underwhelming player

 

[QuackAttack90]

Terry is way too dangerous. Kid needs to be benched

Bring a stack of Bedard jerseys and toss one on the ice every 2 minutes

 

[HanSolo]

I'm like 40% drunk rn. Idk who 17 for LA is but jesus christ he's on another planet rn

 

[Terry Yake]

lmao they're 100% winning this game

 

[HanSolo]

I like the way you think.

 

[HunterDuck]

Game already flying by

 

[Mr Rogers]

Kings look like they have bricks in their skates.

Isn't it just lovely how Max Jones has his 'break out' right now?

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Byfield is an incredibly underwhelming player

102 point team despite getting nothing from two top 5 picks is insanely impressive. Counter point being imagine if this team had one of Zegras/Boldy/Caufield and Stutzle, good lord

 

[ohcomeonref]

3rd period for the Hawks about to fire back up

 

[HanSolo]

Blackhawks and Flyers back underway. 40 seconds and no early goal by Philly yet.

 

[HunterDuck]

I hope the Queens get swept in the first round if they continue to play like the 2018-2022 Ducks

 

[Terry Yake]

holy shit f*** off jones

 

[HanSolo]

Lmaooooo all the shit the NHL refs have let go all year and they call that a penalty? Hahahahahahaha

 

[Mr Rogers]

yeah, we're winning this. And I think you guys might be right, Kings may actually prefer a certain match up

 

[ohcomeonref]

Lmaooooo all the shit the NHL refs have let go all year and they call that a penalty? Hahahahahahaha

Truly shocking.

We need another Bedard jersey on the ice boys!

 

[HunterDuck]

This is feeling like a 3-1 extremely cursed win
