GDT: Game 55: Tank Bowl I (DET @ CBJ), 7 PM EST

[CBJWerenski8]

The Jackets come into tonights Tank Bowl I with a 1 point advantage on Detroit in the standings, at 46 to 45. Both teams will end the season against one another. Detroit holds all the tiebreakers, so if Detroit manages to get 3 out of a possible 4 points they will "lose" the tank bowl.

The Jackets are early "leaders" in the tank bowl by starting Kivlenieks. How will Detroit counter.

Who wants it more? Stay tuned for more lineup tweet. Hopefully the Jackets can win the tank bowl, by losing these games.

As you can see I have went all out on tonights GDT by showing off my photoshop skills.

Lose in regulation Friday, win in OT on Saturday. NJ gets three points in their last two games against NYI/Philly. Vancouver manages 5+ points in their final 8 games. We finish 3rd-last but end the season/Torts era on a positive note.

Go team.

Go Wings!

hoping for a 7-6 loss

 

[ReggieRed]

This game oozes criticality...so much so that the tank commander has a GDT up at the 12:14am. I am stoked!

What I laid out provides the exact same result: we finish 3rd-last in both scenarios.

 

[EspenK]

I predict and hope for 2 Jackets wins...nod to George Costanza

 

[KJ Dangler]

What happens if both teams refuse to win the game . We could be looking at a 0-0 game with shootout that never ends

Unfortunately we suck at being sucky. 2 regulation wins this weekend

Gotta love Torts. Lehtonen plays his strongest game of the season and so of course gets scratched the next. Maybe he's a bit banged up but I'm assuming Jarmo wants to re-sign Mikko and this isn't helping.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Why harrington. Seriously why. We have Carlsson, a young player with some limited upside, right here to play. Play him if you must take out Lehtonen

I don't understand it too. Lehtonen is very good, Carlsson is young, talant but Harrington must play.

Because this organization is run by a bunch of dunces.

Watch what they do rather than what they say. Covert tank underway.

They're "evaluating" Harrington, Bayreuther, and Gerbe - also coincidentally not starting Elvis in a very pivotal lotto odds game. Come on yall read between the lines.

That's just overt tanking guys. I thought a lot of us wanted them to lose, now we're bitching about roster moves that make that easier?

I always thought that's what the B stood for in HFB

Any changes from last game is a Tank strategy, that ever the excuse is.

And the tank commander has really lost control, these last three games.

The offense has been using rocket and other heavy weapons.
Weapon that should be illegal weapons, in such a tank maneuver.

Dam Atkison, Benstrom, Bjorkstrand, Domi and Roslovic.
We will have to punishing them and better explain how to make Tank strategy.

IF YOU SCORE A GOAL, be sure it is in our own net.

Go Wings, Go Wings....

Actually I like they play of our team Wednesday, but it was bad for the Tank, it is so full of holes.

Put Roslovic out there to start OT, and we won't even have to worry about losing the SO
