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 sad is the Columbus D that Gudbranson is one of the main options in OT?

 

[Mr Rogers]

Barabanov is a solid player, would be nice to have on the Ducks

 

[ADHB]

Karlsson giveth, and Karlsson taketh away.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Gaudreau wins it and Columbus gets the bonus point. 5 point night for Little Johnny, figures he’s eating against an AHL team.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Man, what an awful play by Karlsson. he and Hertl just had no interest in getting back on D altho they were probably gassed

 

[Terry Yake]

sharks win would have sealed an absolutely flawless night for the tank. just glad that game went into OT though

now if only this f***ing team could stop winning games

 

[Mr Rogers]

Curtis Brown railing on Karlsson and Hertl

Who in here would take the 3rd pick right now? Essentially moving up 1 spot in the lotto.

i'd gladly take the 4th pick

 

[robbieboy3686]

i'd gladly take the 4th pick

I wouldn’t take the 4th I would gamble then for bedard but having #3 I would risk missing out on bedard to draft Carlson/fantilli

 

[Mr Rogers]

agreed. I think we have enough skill here already

 

[Hockey Duckie]

What an amazing night tonight! It's so difficult not posting on all the goodness occurring and it pays off!

Habs win: Habs 6, Pens 4
Hawks win: Hawks 6, Bruins 3
Yotes win: Yotes 4, Flames 3 OT
Canucks win: Canucks 5, Stars 2
Bjs win and Sharks get a point: BJs 6, Sharks 5 OT

I would hope flyers and Montreal have at least 1 meeting left v each other

at 4 you still can take michkov, smith, or benson

I believe the poster meant staying at 4th is better than moving lower to 5th or 8th spot, which many believed the team would be doing since it's earning points by winning or going to OT. Tonight's outcomes has been beneficial to us, but we're still not out of the woods yet.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Yeah. But the contract was a bargain, the best they ever had because he’s dead.

Not possible. They only draw for the top 2 spots, you either move up there, stay where you are, or fall 1 or 2 places

 

[gilfaizon]

Another exciting night for us. Love to see it

 

[Gliff]

Other then Philly losing, last night was basically perfect.

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

The emotional swings in this thread are great… and they’re only going to get wilder

 

[Dirk316]

He would be on the top pair here with Fowler

 

[DavidBL]

He would be on the top pair here with Fowler

Sure, doest mean he should be playing 3v3

 

[Terry Yake]

haven't had much to be happy about tank-wise at all lately. last night felt nice after a few weeks of mostly disappointment

if they win again tonight, we'll all be sad again

Thats not saying much bud.
