Official tank thread and tanking GDT #11: Lindhasek takes over (Devils @ Sabres)

[Moskau]

This game would be going to OT if not for Mike Smuth.... un ****ing believable.

 

[Clock]

Just getting back from a night out.

Way to be, Preds.

The eff, Smith... pound sand.

Go Oilers.

 

[Husko]

Once again spent the night with the gf, didn't check the score once. So so good for my health

 

[Clock]

Score a goal for Mikey, Coyotes...

Edit: Nope.

 

[1972]

Arizona isn't tanking guys.

 

[OhreallyOrielly]

empty netter.... Coyotes aren't going to help us and we refuses to help ourselves. I'm worried.

 

[stokes84]

Mike Smith is becoming my most hated NHL player of all time. The guy is a joke. He does something mind numbingly dumb almost every game.

 

[TheWook]

They may not get a single point the rest of the season... wow

 

[Zip15]

I did enjoy the Yotes playing "I Hate Everything About You" after Sid's empty-netter.

**** off, Mike Smith.

 

[Clock]

Mike Smith is becoming my most hated NHL player of all time. The guy is a joke.

I'm definitely picking up an irrational anger toward him... saw that move and hoped that it would directly affect his next contract.

A few months from now I doubt I care, but right now...

 

[1972]

The only way they will win a game is if they keep the other team to one goal in regulation.

They might end the season with 3 points in there final 30 or so games.

 

[Eichel 9]

They may not get a single point the rest of the season... wow

I think we desperately need them to beat Vancouver tomorrow.

 

[stokes84]

They may not get a single point the rest of the season... wow

They play more competitive then we do every game. But their goalie is a huge loser. It's incredibly frustrating.

 

[TehDoak]

Hey, another game off the clock and we're still in last place.

I'm not sure what next level tanking **** Murray is going to pull vs Phoenix, but I expect something. Switching Lindbacks allergy medicine to Nyquil capsules like 2 hours before game time. Maybe call Moulson between periods and ask him what teams he'd waive his NTC for?

 

[RecycledEichel]

Mike smith isn't the problem, it's arizona's offense

 

[1972]

They play more competitive then we do every game. But their goalie is a huge loser. It's incredibly frustrating.

Not really, they don't generate a kick of offense. The offense is a bigger issue then Smith.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Arizona isn't going to get another point the rest of the season, wow. The only way we can get 30th is if we at worst, split the two game series with them with both games ending in regulation. Arizona is doing a disgraceful job with their tank. At least we have some players who will be on the team in the near future when we are ready to compete, Arizona is full of scrub bum ass players who are terrible minor leaguers. They have OEL and Doan. At least Zads, Risto, Girgs, Ennis, Moulson, Bogo etc will be on the club when we are contenders. They are a disgrace, but what do you expect from a team that employs mr suffering Darcy the nerd Regier.

Not really, they don't generate a kick of offense. The offense is a bigger issue then Smith.

They don't get dominated in possession though.

 

[Jumpinjackflash]

I'm hoping we play arturs irbe in net for those arz games

A few months from now I doubt I care, but right now...

Smith makes that miscue, then saves chances like the one below. There'd be less groveling if that went in and the former never happened.

Possession is a pretty useless stat when you are as bad as Buffalo and Arizona.

 

[Zip15]

I would like to see someone cut Mike Smith's Greatest Hits over the last two months. Between him jumping over the puck and tonight's, there's be at least a couple doozies.

 

[Puck possession wins]

Hint: In PHX, you see that outside year-round. Look at a weather map.

Nah, more like desert and cacti

 

[Cirris]

As people have been saying to silly unbelievers. Arizona is the REAL threat to Mc'Eichel. They are tanking hard, and Sabres play them twice.

 

[1972]

If someone came out at said Strome is a franchise center I would be alot less stressed!
