GDT Game 16 Columbus vs. New York Islanders | 11/9 7PM EST Lost at Sea Edition

[FANonymous]

Hey Fanonymous, why don't you make a stupid joke about how game day threads are the reason we're losing? Oh what happened? No one thought it was funny and now no one is making the GDT either? Wow, you sure must feel smart right now...

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful slip
That started against Anaheim
Aboard this sinking ship.

Jarmo's a mighty trading man,
JD is brave and sure.
The players all just passengers
For a three hour snore, a three hour snore.

The record started getting rough,
our starting goalie tossed,
If not for the courage of hfboards
All hope would be lost, All hope would be lost.

We first broke ground on the place of this haunted prison land
With lots of hope
Attendance too,
Playoff dreams, and a cup,
but years go by,
and no matter what moves we make,
we seem to perpetually suck.

So this is a team of castaways,
They're here for a long, long time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb.

Davidson and Jarmo too,
Will not stop and rest,
They'll make the players uncomfortable,
If they aren't playing their best.

No goals, no D, no fore checking,
Not a single luxury,
Just like an expansion team,
As primitive as can be.

So join us here each week my friends,
You're sure to lose your smile,
Due to boneheaded hockey play,
Tonight it's against the Isles.

6:00 PM FANonymous time, 7:00 PM EST

If we don't win tonight, a storm's a comin'. And the worst time for a storm is when you're lost at sea.

How long before people start demanding that Dubinsky becomes the skipper?

 

[Fro]

Moulson was traded for Vanek...fyi

 

[DJA]

Go CBJ, beat the fighting Stan Fischlers!

 

[FANonymous]

Moulson was traded for Vanek...fyi

TY, I pulled the islanders lines off some official islanders page.

Also the CBJ lines are copy pasta from the previous GDT. Not sure if they'll start the game lined up like that, but hey, knowing Richard's line-o-matic shuffler they'll probably be right at some point in the night.

 

[Fro]

according to twitter there are Islander fans at the STH morning skate this morning...LOL because of course there are...

[Samkow]

FanAnon for permanent GDT maker.

 

[Columbus Mike]

Outstanding start to the thread. There's no way we can lose tonight with that kind of effort.

 

[FANonymous]

FanAnon for permanent GDT maker.

Haha, we should probably wait and see if we win before appointing me to that position.

 

[Zoo16]

Those lyrics are awesome. Great job Fanonymous!

Coach Richards on the #CBJ effort vs. the #NYR. Yeah, I think the alarm went off; now we'll have to hope they didn't hit the snooze button.

Brian Giesenschlag ‏@BGiesenschlag 1m
RJ Umberger on mindset about tonight "We've done enough talking" #CBJ

great stuff on twitter today...hopefully it translates

Shawn Mitchell ‏@smitchcd 22s
#CBJ D David Savard will be scratched, coach Todd Richards said. D pairs: Tyutin-Johnson, Murray-Wisniewski, Nikitin-Prout.

those big names are really getting scratched...

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Haha, we should probably wait and see if we win before appointing me to that position.

Um, people are simply adamant that Dubinsky be named captain, without waiting for the team to win.

 

[FANonymous]

Um, people are simply adamant that Dubinsky be named captain, without waiting for the team to win.

Well obviously the team is just losing out of spite since Dubi has yet to be named captain. I mean, that's the most reasonable and plausible explanation I can come up with.

They need a five game winning streak... better begin tonight or it will be six, seven...etc.

The gloves are off eh Richards...


Great picture of Columbus btw! And very nice GDT, it may bring some luck...

 

[Robert]

Go CBJ, beat the fighting Stan Fischlers!

I heard back in the 90's the Isle fans formed an organization to remove that crest, (or some crest they used) and it worked..

I have exactly what you posted up there. No idea what you're going on about. Surely I didn't go back in and edit that post!

Thanks. That website I pulled the info off of in my morning grogginess must've been extremely old.

 

[Inglewood JACKets]

FANtastic GDT. I've been trying to think what this team needs. It's not talent. Its not effort. All this team really needs to get going is a montage.

[jdhebner]

SuperGenius, That was GENIUS!

 

[Socks]

Fans should get a We Want Vinny Back chant going. Until he signs somewhere else I'm not giving up hope even though I understand how unlikely it is we get him back.
