GDT: Game #30: Dec 15th - To Tank or Not To Tank that is the question??? Habs vs Ducks

[Tyson]

Continuing my prediction that we're gonna lose this one and then blow out Tampa.

Blow out Tampa ain't gonna happen sir.
No way. We may beat them but blowing them out with #88 in net....nah

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Tank or not, it's hard to talk about the tank when you're battling the new tank masters.

I predict.. a win?

 

[Kennerback]

Habs too good to tank, this is .500 team. The only problem might be in playoff race not be able to sell at deadline.

I also think that barring serious injuries it’s a 500 team. Best scenario would be to end up slightly under 500 and get a top-10 pick.

We're weeks away from the bottom 7. Ottawa, Nashville, Vancouver, Buffalo and St-Louis will all probably pass us.

We managed to be a ,500 team in the easiest part of our schedule, so there are good chances we'll have a harder time with a tougher schedule, also add the probable trades coming and we'll spiral down and settle somewhere in the bottom 7.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Stupid looking blue jerseys.... absolutely hate them.

 

[McGees]

Anyone on the Ducks that needs a "first" tonight?

Ya Ducks need a '1st win in 7 months"

 

[The Real Timo]

Is that what they are wearing tonight?

 

[Pacciosoftie]

Is that what they are wearing tonight?

Yes.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Slaf capable of the best and the not so great at the same time. All part of a learning curve.





Marty, was that ... f*** me"?

At full speed, I'm lip-reading a well placed "taaabarnaque!"

I can't wait for Drouin-Sergachev talk to be rekindled.

Top 10 is realistic and maybe Florida's pick is top 15.

I can't wait for Drouin-Sergachev talk to be rekindled.

Boy Yzerman knew how to Fleece our idiot GM

 

[The Real Timo]

Yes.

Why don't they just take out a full page ad in a paper and print in bold letter "We are tanking!"

 

[Cournoyer12]

I keep trying to generate a ai picture of a curvy duck attacking baby ducks but turns out ducks are curvy anyway. At least the stare down and the hair is not bad. Kirby looks better.

That duck in the lower picture looks suspect…. Really Suspect!!!

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Retro Jersey we're 0-for. Anaheim has one win in regulation. Which goliath goes down tonight?

I expect a crap game.

Somehow I'm picturing Mr Burns taking candy from a baby

The tank talk is so beta and outplayed. Let’s just watch some good hockey and hope our players keep developing. If they lose a mass amount to “tank” then we lose development it’s just basic math. We aren’t getting Bedard

I highly doubt Habs vs Ducks is some "good hockey" maybe in a few years lol

I didn't watch last game but man the Drouin hate is so over the top. He sucks as a player, but just from the highlights he seems to have made that 4th line a threat. Yes I know it's one game, the Sens suck, and the highlights don't represent everything, but even reading what others wrote he seems to have had a good game by his standards.

He‘s a better option than Pitlick for sure. He did have a good game considering he just got back. He’s always looked good, sweet skating and puck handling. I don’t have a hard time stating that as much as I can’t wait to move on

That is one ugly baby.

 

[Sagikev]

He's back

Our hero

J'vais jamais en revenir ayoye, goosebumps!

Not before we beat ourselves up about KK, how he was handled and how he should have never been drafted to begin with.

 

[LaP]

This team usually lose when we expect them to win so i predict a loss so they might win.

Well it is also december, we're due for our annual 10 games skid

 

[Rob Sense]

Yes.

guaranteed loss

 

[Redux91]

It's an adventure watching him. I like his skillset but he almost got into a bad collision yday too.

He's got to learn how to make himself less vulnerable.

Sigh, a lot of people almost got in bad collisions last night... it's hockey, but everyone focuses on just him with this lol

It just sucks people think he's this fragile little thing that nobody is ever allowed to touch.. But we all kinda feel like his parents lol so I get it too

There's been some WHOPPERS of hits on him that looked as scary as they come... not 1 concussion.. and hes learning now too

Our 5"7 lil treasure got KOed on a awful collision just a couple days ago.. played the next game

We need to stop trying to wrap Slaf in bubble wrap man lol

 

[expy]

Zegras gonna try the michigan again, and Xhekaj gonna clock him.

Habs will lose by 2 though.
