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

Sharks lose again 4-2. As you know, they are quite bad.

Coyotes valiant effort gets them one point (now an 8-game point streak), but they were dummied in the shootout. The gap is 7.

 

[ff8]

Piss poor shootout effort by the coyotes but hey they stole a point

 

[Kalv]

Very nice BJs

I would not want to be a Yotes fan right now.

Will the same thing happen to Ducks if they trade Klingberg: do they start racking up points?

if the ducks start to rack up points later on, it won't be because klingberg isn't there

As long we get top 3 pick.. Im good.. If we get Bedard.. Hell even better

Ducks next four games are against teams vying for the playoffs and all are away games.

Feb 20: at Fla​

Feb 21: at TB​

Feb 23: at Was​

Feb 25: at Car​

Were 0-4-0 on this 8-game set versus teams vying for a playoff spot. I'm still predicting we go 0-8-0. There's a possibility we could own the worst record in the league after this road trip. Heck, we could be the worst team tomorrow afternoon if the Hawks get at least one point against the Leafs. That's going to be a Hulu game... you are warned.

Sunday tankwatch

Arizona vs Columbus (please go to OT)

Chicago vs Toronto (who are on the back end of a back to back)

I'd rather Columbus win outright in regulation since they're tied with us in points. Arizona has 7 more points than we do today.

The best-case scenario would be Columbus winning in OT

 

[forever1922]

Matthews has seen limited ice time since his injury, and its a back to back game for TOR. (Limited him to 4 pts in 2 games, ah crap)

Ducks won't be winning any games themselves so any points for the tankers will be welcome.

 

[Bender66]

Wait, Coyotes tied that game? Lol @ kings. I turned it off when it was 5-1.

 

[AngelDuck]

Kane has a hat trick, blackhawks lead 3-1

 

[gunnergunther]

he's really trying to get traded.

 

[Static]

Toronto tied the game at 3-3, but Chicago scored again to take the lead right back. Around eight minutes left in the game.

Toronto tied the game at 3-3, but Chicago scored again to take the lead right back. Around eight minutes left in the game.

Patrick Kane mad they traded for ROR instead of him, so he has a hat trick naturally.

 

[dracom]

chicago with an empty net making 5-3.

 

[Static]

Chicago scored an EN goal to go up two late.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Max Domi sinks an empty netter to give the Blackhawks a 5-3 lead, and the Ducks have been relegated back to the league basement (at least on a tiebreaker at the moment, Columbus is dropping the puck in Arizona right now to determine if we'll be there by ourselves). And you guys were worried after the 5-1-1 stretch.

 

[gilfaizon]

What a stretch! Go Ducks!

 

[Rasp]

Last few days have been great for the tank

[ohcomeonref]

WE DID IT PEOPLE!

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

Haha, we're the worst

 

[duckpuck]

I'd rather Columbus win outright in regulation since they're tied with us in points. Arizona has 7 more points than we do today.

Why in the world would you want this? We want both teams to get points, so a tie with Columbus winning in overtime is the very best result.
