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

Hawks with a chance to clear and get an easy EN goal, and the player with the puck did the only thing of about 5 options that wouldn’t lead to a clear.

Oooooo boy, so many close calls. A Chicago player had the puck with full possession and then just...lost his balance? Just fell down?

AND NOW TYLER JOHNSON HITS THE POST ON AN EMPTY NET

 

[gunnergunther]

post again?

 

[ADHB]

0 for 3 on empty net tries now. Announcer jinxed it.

Hawks win!

 

[Static]

Another EN post. Toews can still win faceoffs and the odd board battle

 

[gunnergunther]

Were numero uno

 

[ohcomeonref]

Last place.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Hawks!

 

[ADHB]

Imagine the Flames having lost all 3 to this Chicago team.

 

[Ducks DVM]

 

[mightyquack]

Chicago hits the post on the EN, still up one

Kadri playing like ass

7m a year for 6 years for a career 55 point player based on a career year where scoring is way up. Hysterical contract.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Hawks win and somehow managed to sweep Calgary this year. If the Flames miss the playoffs, they'll look back on that.

We have headed to the league basement.

 

[Static]

I honestly can't believe it.

 

[JonathnTaylorTavares]

LFG

 

[dracom]

now's the perfect time for the injury prone gibson to appear

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Alright no more winning boys. Finish dead last.

 

[Trojans86]

Crazy how it seems like a week ago where we thought we were going to be 5 or 6th worst and now we are 1st worst

 

[HanSolo]

The Sharks, Hawks, and Blue Jackets have all gift wrapped the Ducks a golden opportunity.

 

[Mr Rogers]

I truly believe the Ducks are the worst team in the league, outside of our goalies.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

I truly believe the Ducks are the worst team in the league, outside of our goalies.

For sure

 

[ADHB]

We now control our own destiny. Didn’t think I’d ever write that sentence when it came to this type of season, but here we are I guess.

 

[Ducks DVM]

I honestly can't believe it.

#intangibles

 

[mightyquack]

I truly believe the Ducks are the worst team in the league, outside of our goalies.

We'd have under 45 points if we had an average NHL goaltender. Probably under 40 with some of the goaltenders the other bottom teams have rolled out. We're truly horrific.

We’re number One! We’re number one!
