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

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

I mean...75% chance the Ducks lose the lottery right? I'd be happy with 2nd though.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Jones scoring was the most predictable thing ever lol

 

[Terry Yake]

Pissed? Probably not at all. Can't get pissed about the overwhelmingly most likely result. Sad? Fairly.

 

[McDonald19]

Come on, score on this powerplay.

 

[Mr Rogers]

might need Gibby to spot us another one

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.

exactly.

It's about giving us the best 'worst case scenario'

 

[JonathnTaylorTavares]

I wonder what percentage of fans at Honda Center don’t even know there is a hockey draft

100% agree....however, if you are a team in canada then, it means you will get 1st OA, and if you are bottom 5 then you have a good shot at 1OA depending on who is the bottom team (which being that its the ducks makes the odds real good).

 

[McDonald19]

Get back in the box Strome!

 

[gunnergunther]

[TheGoodShepard1]

Yeah they’re being very professional. Give them credit. What some of those other buffoons said, regardless of what you might think or what you might want, should never be said on air on a team broadcast.

 

[George Binks]

Thank you Strome

He’s the 1st star
