GDT: Season Finale Game 56: Tank Bowl II (DET@ CBJ), 7PM EST

[EspenK]

Nice.

 

[Grouchy]

Domi scoring the final goal of the season.

That sounds so weird.

 

[LJ7]

Hopefully that's what we see a lot of from Domi next season. Nice way to end the season

 

[KJ Dangler]

Gotta give it to max ..couldn’t have had a worse start to season .. he didn’t pout .. he put his head down and worked . Got better and better as season went along . That shows a lot of character

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Thank you Torts.

 

[VT]

He's been Wennberged

 

[NotWendell]

Did we just win the Josh Anderson trade?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

 

[CBJWerenski8]

It would have been corny as hell but it would have been cute if they named Torts the first star

 

[VT]

Thank you Torts for all. But I hope you will continue!!!

 

[VABUCK]

2Points!

 

[VT]

Jody banging on Laine right to the bitter end....

Laine can`t be traded because Jody would have to find someone else for constant criticism.

 

[NotWendell]

Clearly no one from the front office has told Jody to quit calling Laine out.

 

[Halfboard]

Clearly no one from the front office has told Jody to quit calling Laine out.

He might get Jim Day’d....

 

[VABUCK]

Clearly no one from the front office has told Jody to quit calling Laine out.

Jody for some reason can't stand Laine.

 

[Long Live Lyle]

So no worse than 6th then?

We can't finish "worse" than 4th-worst now and that's probably where we'll be. We can't finish "better" than 6th-worst. Calgary and Vancouver are currently behind us, but Calgary only needs one point in 5 games and Vancouver only needs 5 points in 8 games. Hard to see Calgary going 5 straight regulation losses to end the year; more likely Vancouver only goes something like 2-6-0 or something, but still seems pretty unlikely. I think 4th-worst is a safe bet.

Of course, due to Seattle, 4th-worst is only the 5th best odds in the lottery. It's also possible that up to two teams with worse lottery odds than us win the lottery and jump us. But it's looking like our pick will be 5th or 6th, if we don't win the lottery.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Not sure it's apples-to-apples, but Roslovic finishes the regular season with 34 points in 48 games, while PLD has 21 in 43. Didn't see that coming.

 

[Long Live Lyle]

Even if they wanted (and not sure they would've wanted it), they probably can't because, theoretically, he could be back. I mean, we all know he's not going to be, but it's not like he said he's retiring or the organization has officially announced his contract will not be renewed.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Speaking of Wennberg .. another hatty tonight and he now has 16 g on the season

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I remain unconvinced on the “Torts is for sure done” thing.

the players seem to know. They keep talking about how much he meant to them. And torts was smiling and getting hugs from the other coaches on the bench after the win. That’s not usual.

plus he’s giving all his coaches, including guys like boll and singleton, time behind the bench as thank you’s for their work. You only do that if you know they’re/you’re not coming back

 

[DJA]

this certainly seems like a goodbye gesture

Yep. I think it’s time. I hope that’s how it goes.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Agree Torts is gone. That’s why he gave his usually non-bench assistants get a nance to see it from the bench.
