Loss unless the offense and defense actually want to show up. If there's a game the Hawks can get back on track, it's this one. With all the hype surrounding it, and the who the opponent is, they can't afford not to seize the opportunity. The playoffs are approaching fast, and if they continue their current ways of playing, this will probably 2011-2012 all over again.

Predicting a loss? Shocking.

Oh give me a break, out of all the times during the season, this one is probably the most justified given how they've been playing lately.

Who cares? When you repeat it every time you make a prediction, it loses all meaning. It's just a meme at this point.

Except, I don't. You just choose to see what you want to see. I don't see anyone ever pointing out the times when I do pick the Hawks to win... and yes I do I pick the Hawks to win when I feel like they're rolling and have a favorable matchup or game.

When?

 

[Kurtosis]

When?

Ditto. I cannot for the life of me ever remember him posting something positive about the Hawks let alone predicting a win.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

I'd love to see him provide 1 example of it happening. I'd bet against it, though.

 

[member 151739]

So, uh... I made a GDT.

 

[Kurtosis]

So, uh... I made a GDT.

Oh yeah...good job.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

So, uh... I made a GDT.

And? Wanna cookie?

 

[member 151739]

Oh yeah...good job.

Thanks.

I, also, can't think of a time when he thought we were going to win.

And? Wanna cookie?

Yes.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Cookies for everyone!

 

[Hawkaholic]

ItsMyFault prediction record = 12 right, 35 wrong, 14 sort of rights

 

[Sarava]

Great GDT TK!

 

[member 151739]

Great GDT TK!

This is a IMF prediction discussion thread. You're in the wrong place. Thanks!

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Solid one, TK.

Shawn: But Crosby is a better player in almost every measurable way than Toews.
Teacher: Call me when Crosby has two rings.
Shawn: That's your only argument?
Teacher: It's only argument I need, Shawn!

(Don't know why the video starts with the Habs/Pens game.)

Always negative...

 

[HereCometheHawks]

Someone apparently has stolen Corey Crawford's Stadium Classic mask. He talked about it on the NHL Network as well.

@crow_50

"Anyone know where my Stadium Series Mask is? Cause we don't #stolen?"

I found a picture of the suspect...

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Anyone else watch the NHL network practice/interviews Stadium Series stuff? I think nhl.com is streaming a lot of their stuff for free.

Nothing too unusual or earth-shattering from what I saw, but one tidbit that came out was that apparently Corey Crawford's special Stadium Series mask that he planned on wearing for the game got lost in shipping so he'll just be wearing his regular mask. Also apparently Corey Crawford's dad is a Bears fan dating back to the Walter Payton era. Didn't realize they had a following in Montreal.

Oh, I should note that using gifs for this GDT was inspired by HGF's GDTs. So there's that.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Oh and I forgot to say... love the thread TK.

But I think you should have included Crosby in a Cosby sweater.

I was going to include Cosby Show quotes but make them about hockey. But I've never watched the show, and the quotes I found on Wikiquote and IMDB weren't particularly interesting to me.
