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

Damn, 70 degrees is nice (being from Mass) - we had such bad weather lately up here

Really gorgeous weather here this week. Although my weather app said it was supposed to be 92 next week, which I think is a glitch because now it says 79 lol

Just watched CBJ own the puck and dominate for a good 5 minutes before giving up the dumbest possible goal to ZAR and go down 3-1.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

They’re getting outshot but they’ve had some great opportunities. Their goalie has been pretty good so far too.

 

[AngelDuck]

There’s no exaggeration when I say this:

This run down worn out version of Jonathan Toews is still one of the Hawks 3 best players

Chicago already up one and Columbus is down one late in the third. The NHL's trash is fighting.

CBJ owned that whole 3rd period. TOR is going to win but they should be ashamed.

Toronto seals it late against Columbus and calgary ties up Chicago.

Didn't know Khaira had hands like that.

Only when the cause is righteous.

Hawk defense looks like Eakins is moonlighting.

 

[ADHB]

Hawks seem to love making soft passes into the middle in their own d zone. One of them cost them a goal.

Not sure why they’re passing up shot opportunities though. Markstrom is horrendous and never controls rebounds. They also hit the post on a half empty net, and could have gone up 3-1 at the time.

 

[rlstine]

Go Hawks, baby! Woooo

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Hawks up 2. If they get 2 points we are officially last

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

I switched games between periods. Hold down the fort, I’m staying away.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Is it happening?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Hawks up 2. If they get 2 points we are officially last

it feels so wrong to be excited to be last place

But

Go Chicago

It guarantees 1 of bedard carlsson or fantilli

Flames are paying a lot of money to be very mediocre.

Imagine struggling to beat Anaheim and Chicago back to back …. While being so close to a playoff spot

Getting 2/4 from these 2 teams is embarrassing

 

[Static]

Here we go, one goal game with under five to go

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Avs-Sharks is going exactly the way you would imagine Avs-Sharks would be going with Colorado trying to win the Central Division.

Flames are paying a lot of money to be very mediocre.

Basically Calgary's MO since 2005. 2 playoff series wins in 18 years and that period in the early 10's where they weren't good enough for the playoffs but too good for a good draft pick.

 

[Static]

There's just too much time left and Chicago has gone full turtle. Should get at least a point though and into OT.

 

[ADHB]

Empty net for Calgary. Can the Hawks get lucky on one clear?

edit: 0 for 2 on empty net tries so far

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Raddysh hit the post on an EN, I'm sure that won't hurt Chicago later.

 

[Static]

Chicago hits the post on the EN, still up one

Kadri playing like ass
