Smooth the descent, and easy is the way - ULTIMATE TANK THREAD

[SpeedyPotato]

Fully agree. I was just shit posting.

I get you, it’s frustrating to see after such a good run, I got the fever there too while it lasted and it sucks we’re back there for now, I really think it’s the last of the tank after this year though!

 

[expy]

The anomaly was always the "hot streak"...

If you look at the bigger picture, the Habs are right where they were supposed to be.

Should have never been closed. Weird decision

Yeah rationally it’s only up from there. Seeing how Kent Hughes will handle things from there now that we aren’t just a rock bottom team anymore + the unloading of anchors as time goes one will be interesting. We have a good young core to build around but how he surrounds them I have the impression will be the defining factor in the team success.

If they lose against the Sharks, this thread is definitely Justified.

Will be hard, they traded Granlund, but we never know...

Guess you can call this game a -4 points game now that we are competing for another part of the standing.

 

[SwiftyHab]

@Adam Michaels, it might be time for some of your losing strategies to be resurrected

We could without any doubts, if we had started selling like the Sharks. I think they'll win it, but you never know. The Tank can be a fearsome beast

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

We need to make sure WhiteSnake doesn't criticize anyone on the team.

 

[sampollock]

Sell sell sell

Can’t wait for RationalExpectations to chime in on this thread.

maybe Habs can help the Sharks get on the right track.

I don't know about finishing in the bottom 5. That win streak might have pushed us out of it. We will probably finish around 7-10. Flyers and Blues are free falling in the bottom.

We were 8 points out of the top 5 2 weeks ago with even games played.

We are currently 4 points out of top 5 with
1 game in hands.

Just gotta keep losing and things will go south fast.

Choo choo. We ride again, but we don't even wait for dawn.

Sell Armia, Dvorak, and Savard for tidy profits. If somebody is gonna offer a 1st for Evans you should probably take it.

I would have liked that Rangers 1st from Vancouver for Matheson.

 

[Walksss]

I was thinking even the Desnoyers, Eklund or McQueen level of prospect was off the table for a while there. I'm happy it's back in play.

Imagine getting a Desnoyer and Mrtka with the 2 first rounders. I'd be stoked af.

 

[26Mats]

If we fix two things plus Guhle is healthy next year, we'll be in the mix:

1) better 2nd line, including, but not limited to, Newhook moves down to the bottom six.

2) Upgrade on Matheson on the top pair.

The team in the bottom 10 also suck. We will need to lose the next 5 and have multiple team in the bottom win 2-3 games. One win and we are back to fighting for a the 14-16th place. We are also not bottom 5 bad. We have seen what the team can do. It would take only 1-2 wins to be outside of the bottom 5 again.

Is not impossible to do it. But it will be very hard now with that crazy December-January win streak. At this point, finishing 7-10 is more realistic.

We aren't in the mix with the goaltending we have, ever.

yeah, specially since the tank thread is up again you just know they will start playing over .500 again.

no we are playing the way MSL seems to love, like total p***yes. We will be 4-6 I think and should get the Flames pick

haha here we go again

3 more defeats in a row and the HABS are back to bottom 5

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

They haven't been the same since the Leafs game. You could feel the energy shift. Let's go top 5 pick!!
