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

would you rather

SJ gets Bedard and we get Carlsson

or

would you rather

SJ gets anybody but Bedard, we get boxed out from Bedard/Fantilli/Carlsson, but can get Michkov/Smith/Benson

I’m far more concerned with who we get.

 

[91Fedorov]

F Yes!!

Blue jackets just won. You never know guys ! If they would’ve won against us last week in regulation, we would be 1 behind them .We were down 3-0 in Columbus to them and beat them also earlier in year

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Here comes Columbus. Second straight OT win, only 3 back and they have a game in hand

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

CBJ vs MTL tomorrow

 

[robbieboy3686]

CBJ vs MTL tomorrow

Columbus wins their 3rd straight overtime game one time hockey Gods!

 

[LePerilsofPerreault]

Go Blues too

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

You just know San Jose is going to get last (they’re a special kind of horrendous) and they’re going to win the lotto.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Dear hockey Gods.. we know you hate our guts . But please. Just for once. Grant us Bedard

 

[Dryish]

I'm getting more and more annoyed by those victories against Carolina and Washington by the day.

If they finish last, it's most likely they will pick 3rd overall. I hope for that

[AngelDuck]

today is a huge day. A chance to lose and potentially be a point or two out of dead last with a little help

 

[Terry Yake]

coming back from being down 3-0 to Columbus a few months back too. would've been a huge loss

let's hope that jackets-habs game tonight goes to OT. either team winning is fine with me

 

[lwvs84]

Alright, picked up Montembeault in fantasy. That's been a death sentence for goalies the last few months so let's see if the trend holds

Flyers just shut out Detroit. They're pretty much beyond reach. Sharks game about to start in half an hour.

Not that it affects us directly at all, but the Wings are making their push to try to get into striking distance for Bedard. Something like 3-11-1 in their last 15 games, I think.

No out-tanking Sharks, so bad.

After watching TBL vs Bos I can't bring myself to watch that shitshow.

@Leonardo87 has talked about it before, but I can’t believe David Quinn was once a highly regarded head coach. Absolute dumpster fire of a system, Sharks look just as confused as we do with way worse goaltending

I think he truly hurt Kakko‘s development. He would have benched and then healthy scratched Zegras if he pulled off a Michigan on his team.

 

[ADHB]

I wish there was a bet you could make on how fast the Sharks would lose the lead after taking it. You could make so much money betting on them giving up a goal within a minute.

 

[Dryish]

The Sharks are infuriatingly bad. I dread Bedard landing there so much, he wouldn't get anything done.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Sharks lose again. Hope Thrun enjoys himself up there cuz he’s gonna be hearing that a lot the next couple seasons

 

[ADHB]

The Sharks had Andrew Agozzino out there down by 1 with the goalie pulled,.. after a timeout!

If that isn't blatant tanking, I don't know what is.

 

[AngelDuck]

Sharks getting Bedard is brutal but they’ll still be ass for a long time. What a waste
