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

I'll take it.

We need to stop starting Gibson

 

[Duck Off]

We need to stop starting Gibson

At least f***ing rotate them every other game

Right?? Like what is the point in starting him every game. Load management would be a legit reason and would be good for the tank

 

[Terry Yake]

At least f***ing rotate them every other game

how about we just play without a goalie? that'd be awesome

 

[Mr Rogers]

Dostal is pretty capable of stealing games as well IMO. but he should be playing more simply because of how Gibson has just been getting shelled this year

Dostal started the last game against Vancouver and earned us a point.

 

[Duck Off]

Dostal started the last game against Vancouver and earned us a point.

Dostal is solid and will probably do that more often, but I don’t think he would as often as Gibson

Tank officially Died tonight

 

[Terry Yake]

time to close this thread. the tank is done

have fun picking 8th you f***ing losers

 

[ohcomeonref]

It's pretty f***ing frustrating.

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

This is going to be such a ducks ending to the season lol… can’t even lose properly

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Well this sucks a bag of ducks

 

[HunterDuck]

Gibson wants us to lose so he can ring chase on another team and I hope he fails at that. You’re spending the rest of your career in Mediocre Purgatory with us god dmnit

 

[tomd]

Leason, Grant, and Comtois...yeah, the future looks bright.

 

[ohcomeonref]

I'm going to spend the remainder of the season in this thread since this is the only place we are allowed to talk about whats best for this team.

i can't even imagine rooting for meaningless wins like this

 

[HunterDuck]

With the 12th pick in the draft, The Anaheim Ducks draft, Mid Dudeson, Schittsville Schitties, Canada

Such crap lol

 

[Terry Yake]

i really hate gibson

 

[goonsaredumb]

I wouldn't even be upset about missing Bedard if we got Fantilli/Carlsson/Michkov/Benson but at this point it's looking like we're not even getting one of them which is only going to prolong this rebuild, it sucks no other way to put it

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

I hate that a star player is going to languish on the Sharks and the Hawks

 

[HunterDuck]

The Ducks are turning into the Flyers.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Gibson has been great and goaltending is a factor, but I will also say that it is absolutely hilarious how little opposing teams seem to get up for us. These teams are flat as hell when we’re on the schedule.

Just have to hope to stay in the top-4 pre-lottery. If there’s a mathematical possibility of falling out of the top 6, I will be nervous given this organization‘s history of getting f***ed over by the draw

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

How do you lose to this team? How is this happening?
