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

Terry is so damn dangerous. Can’t wait until we have a properly good team so we can reap the benefits of it.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Ducks will come out hard.

 

[Duck Off]

Being guaranteed one of the top 3 prospects is worth celebrating for sure.

I said I would have two beers dick

Just kidding. Yes I am 100% going to celebrate if we finish 32nd. I’m saving the champagne for 1oa post lottery though.

Byfield looks is terrible

Edited for my take. Maybe he’s a late bloomer, but theres not a lot that I’ve seen that screams impact player

 

[Ducks]

He may not ever live up to his draft position, but I still believe he'll be a good top 6 player for a long time.

not sure about terrible, but tough to see where the offense would come from. the flashes are infrequent, if not absent

He's got all the tools, I think he'll put it together eventually. It would be shocking if he didn't.

how pissed is everyone going to be when the ducks lose the lottery? they will never sniff a 1st OA if total season/year failure is complete

He’s dumb as dirt.

Agree about the tools but I wouldn’t be shocked if it didn’t. It doesn’t happen for everyone

we just want a top 3 pick

I can't speak for everyone but as long as we get a top 3 pick I'll be happy, Bedard is obviously head and shoulders above everyone else but Fantilli and Carlsson are franchise-altering players no matter what some may say, that's why finishing last is so important

Still guaranteed a #2 o #3 pick in this year's draft is a great consolation prize.

Just me, but we already won the lottery in finding stars in Terry, Z, and McTavish. We're just waiting on our defense to come. Right now, LaCombe is looking sweet and a vast improvement over everyone not named Fowler.

One more period and this nightmare ends. One way or the other.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

One more period.. and it's over. I want kings to score another. Just so we could be comfortable

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Crowd sounds rowdy tonight

Wine moms in Costa Mesa let their bandwagon kids out of the basement for a few hours, they’re excited

 

[KyleJRM]

I think the mentally healthier way to look at it is that the tank winner gets the No. 3 pick and that you have a chance to win one of the top two, not that you "have" the no. 1 pick and you drop if you don't win.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Thanks for showing up Jones!

 

[Terry Yake]
