Tank Thread and Tanking GDT XVI: Slipping Away...

[ruff22]

2-0 Sharks. Arizona is a ECHL level squad.

6 SOG for Sharks 0 for Yotes. LOL

Still a lot to be worried about here, isn't there. Have to presume AZ is going 0-5 and man the battle stations accordingly.

1-2-1 for the Sabres would not be far-fetched at all with these guys feeling like it's their life's singular purpose to win these last games to damage the franchise's future...

They could get to OT in any of the remaining games, tonight proves that, if nothing else.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Well no goal. Guess I can go to sleep now. 2 pt cushion.

 

[ZeroPT*]

Right now or when both teams are healthy?

yeah I think people are forgetting who Arizona is missing...

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

Guys, our game started as 2-0 Hawks and we came back...there's still 50 minutes of hockey to be played!

 

[SabreOil]

doubt that goal counts lol

 

[fing0rz]

I figured yotes would lose tonight.

Sharks are fighting for their lives, will empty the tank tonight as yotes coast and tomorrow yotes will play better

 

[Chad Thundercock]

I feel for people watching all these games.

How were there so many Hawks fans there? Chicago isn't that close.

I wonder if there were a lot of Sabres fans wearing Kane jerseys? I know tons of people in Buffalo that are Sabres fans that own his jersey

There are a lot of Buffalo Hawk fans (mainly because of Kane), but I saw a lot of them crossing the bridge from Canada today.

I feel for people watching all these games.

I've watched every Sabres game for last two years. I watched about 10 Edmonton games last year and probably 30 Edmonton games this season up until a week ago. And probably another 30 Arizona games.

It's been amazing.

I think when this is all over I may hate Hockey.

Sked starts to work in our favour after this.

Islander game will be back to back and three in four nights. Carolina game will be 4th in 6th nights. Columbus is on road. Pittsburgh is back to back for both teams.

Arizona is looking putrid......like a team that has mailed it in.

Going to have to do this without any help. It can be done.

Except the Sabres didn't get it to OT.

That's impressive.

I get through the SC Finals and I'm done with hockey until October.

No way I could watch so many non-Sabres games just because.

I've been watching mostly yotes and Sabres games (so lots of flaming garbage), and then when I watch two actual good teams play I remember how much I like hockey haha. Rangers and caps game the other day was amazing.

I think he was just alluding to how close the game was, and the fact that it almost did go to OT.

Watch Tampa. They're a special group of guys this year, I think they can take it all this year.

 

[brian_griffin]

Omg my girlfriend literally said, don't worry Toews will score twice right after Foligno scored. Amazing.

Stokes, you absolutely need to propose if Sabres finish 30th or win the lottery.

You don't think twice about passing that up.

And invite Toews to the wedding.

Carolina scares me. If the Sabres play like they did tonight, they whoop the canes 6-2.

Ideally they go 0-3-0 the next three games and we can cheer for a win in the finale.

kinda ot but how is this board when it's non-tank? are the GBU's used? do they go over 5 pages? Are their like player discussions?

I've always been curious since I joined in mid tank

 

[sjci]

11-1 shots in the SJ-ARI game. The Yotes have officially mailed it in

 

[Matias Maccete]

Love me some stammer, haven't seen them too much this year though. I'm all aboard the Rangers bandwagon after the Yandle trade. Still love that guy.

 

[Beerz]

Unreal.

 

[Chad Thundercock]

I want Nolan gone the minute the season is over. Not because I don't think he's a good coach, he's not. But his insubordination is absurd. He played Bogosian almost 29 minutes tonight and Ennis 24. I'm sorry that's high even for the first round of the playoffs, let alone a team trying to make it to 29th. There's no reason for it. He's double shifting guys. It's a giant F U to the fans and the organization. It doesn't have the long-term interest of those players in mind - overplaying leads to injuries.

I hope this is mentioned some by the media and such.

Especially Ennis playing 20+ per night after injury, it's fully put me on the 'Fire Nolan' side.

GBU's are used.
