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

It is now 4-3 with 10 minutes still to go in the 3rd period and the board is probably preparing to permanently ban me from this thread if the Jackets end up losing

I guess we’ll keep you around until at least the end of the Sharks/Canadiens game later tonight

Okay you’re forgiven. Sorry, I’m not superstitious but I’m a little stitious.

 

[Terry Yake]

need to get the tank back on track and take advantage of these rare wins by teams like columbus and chicago because they're not going to come very often

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

We are one point out of last place. Come on guys

See @Static knew even yesterday. Never in doubt guys!

 

[The Duck Knight]

Jackets win.

I read Robinson's lips after he scored the hat trick goal. He said "Eff Bedard".

 

[Hockey Duckie]

That third was damned crazy! I'm like... are you kidding me?! We were testing the hockey gods by sharing things in detail. hahahahhahah phew... Columbus won!

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

You know, the Hawks are just plain awful. Seriously, what could they even do if they win Bedard? You can't just turn around and go shopping for a little bit of everything they need. Bedard is gonna hate it there for years. He should slip Gary a few Benjamins just to remove one of the Hawks ping pong balls and make it mathematically impossible for them to win.

 

[Duck Off]

I’m convinced he’d wind up in Chicago regardless of where they finish in the standings but they’ve been the favorite to be last for a while imo. They’re truly awful.

You’re safe dude.

 

[Duck Off]

You’re safe dude.

Static and I called off the hit, but he might let his wife start his car next time to be safe.

LOL. I was going to reply to your last post, will just say it here. Will be beyond upset if Chicago gets Bedard. I truly feel the Ducks deserve him, of course no team really deserves it but Anaheim does. Out of the bottom 3, never had a 1stOA, but sadly that is not how it works.

Like you said, that team is pretty much toast. We are not going to out tank them. The only good thing with them winning the lottery while below us, we would only at worst, fall one spot. If we pick Top 5 in this draft, will get a player projected to be better than anyone on this roster now. Top 3 Gives us a shot at a franchise player.

San Jose up 1-0 like a minute in. Good start!

 

[Mr Rogers]

I'm worried about the Sharks now. that's a team that's gonna really start to submerge.

 

[Terry Yake]

if the ducks don't miraculously land the #1 pick then i hope it's the jackets. chicago, SJ, and the coyotes can go f*** themselves

 

[Static]

Arizona is up 4-0, so that one is done. Chicago will stay ahead of us on win percentage and Arizona will be four points up with a game in hand.

 

[Static]

Just saw Todd Marchant and Joe Thornton talking in the management suite in San Jose. Weird deal.

 

[The Duck Knight]

That Quick trade for Columbus might be the most impactful tank trade made this year. If they give him a starter's workload down the stretch they will finish dead last without a doubt.

Or he plays pissed off and steals some wins for thr jackets

inb4 Quick somehow turns back the clock and becomes elite again because goalies are voodoo

The dude couldn't make a save on a good team. A little anger isn't going to fix that.

Montreal scores two goals in about a minute and a half and take a 2-1 lead over San Jose in the third.

 

[Static]

Montreal wins

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Sharks lose 3-1, the 12th time this year that they’ve had a lead entering the 3rd period and failed to win.

Also, he’s entitled to it as great as he’s been all year, but Erik Karlsson with a lieutenant tank commander performance in the 3rd. He was terrible
