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

We'll finish #3 then fall in the draft.

If we finish #3, chances are Chicago will finish below us. They'll win #1, so at most we'll drop 1 spot

Why no count?

Puck entered the net about a millisecond after the green light went on and time expired. So the league that hates fun (correctly) waved it off.

Undersized midget Bedard won't save this mess

Well that's a new one.

 

[HanSolo]

Cmon man...

He is 1 inch and 8 lbs less then Crosby was when he was drafted.
He is 2 inches less and the same weight as McDavid when he was drafted.

Sorry bud. Obviously what the Ducks need is to create clones of Scott Stevens, Chris Pronger, Eddie Shore, Bob Probert, and Rob Ray, wait 18 years for them to come of age and then they'll be winning back to back cups for a decade. Bedard is an 8-ply plug.

It really. He is small I stature.. but kid has heart and plays with grit.. He will be fine

I was following the game on the TSN app at the time. They actually credited Kane with a goal at 4:59 of OT in the box score and showed the game over. I couldn't understand what happened when all of a sudden it was still tied and showing it in a shootout.

Todays tank watch:
Arizona vs Calgary

Chicago vs Dallas


Chicago is coming off a SO win against Vegas last night so they’ll be tired, wouldn’t say they have great odds. Arizona has been on a bit of a streak lately, while calgary has fumbled some games, could be a good result there.

If you're replying to Dirk, I still don't think that cuts it. He's looking for clones of Brock Lesnar. Hockey doesn't win games, size and fighting does.

Truculence FTW!

Undersized midget Bedard won't save this mess

Damn, not only is he a midget but he's an undersized midget which would make him extra tiny. Does the rest of the hockey world know this? Are all those highlights we see just deep fakes?

Don't Terry, Don't Rico, What do you do?

Obvious catastrophe follows
There must be no feeling inside

Our next two games are against playoff vying teams, Washington and Carolina. Washington is on a 5-game losing streak, including losing to the Sharks. Losing two of our top-3 scorers, Terry and Rico, for this game may make the viewing an uglier affair ... maybe for both teams.

Besides, I think the preferred nomenclature is little person.

You're expecting a bit much

 

[Terry Yake]

stars up 2-0 on the hawks after 1

figured this would most likely end up an L for chicago since they're on a back to back

 

[ADHB]

Hawks on the road playing the second night in a row against a playoff team… I think we should be grateful they’ve won 3 in a row.

Coyotes however are up 2-1 in the second despite being outshot in Ducks like fashion, 29-7. Tanev scored on his own goaltender for the Flames.

Edit: Make that 3–1 Coyotes.

 

[AngelDuck]

AZ is 10 points ahead of us if they can pull this off

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Flames and Coyotes all tied up

Also worth noting the Hawks biggest tanking stretch of the season is upcoming. First of a 4-game road trip tonight, the other three are in four nights starting Saturday at San Jose, here on Monday, and finishing in Arizona on Tuesday

Edit: Hawks are right back in this thing, 3-2 now. Max Domi has been really good

 

[ADHB]

Coyotes mercifully escape the second period tied, despite being outshot 38-9.

Hawks have rallied from down 3-0 to be down only 1.

Edit: Hawks game now tied. Kane is on fire.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Hawks Tie It Up!

Kane is on a mission.

on a mission to show the rangers they should trade for him

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

5-3 flames.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

4-3 HAWKS!

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

The problem with the Hawks is you need them to make all their hay and win out over the course of this week, because the entirety of their offensive production is completely driven by Domi and Kane, who are both headed out by next Friday

Blues just need to keep trading to the teams patrick kanes rumored to go to.
