TANK IT! 2014-2015 Season

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

This has spread to too many threads. How it caught on I have no idea. The secrets of LGW and the 12 year old mind continue to elude me.

I think it caught on because of "the sky is falling" attitude that some people have here. It was real easy at the beginning of the season to say #tankit2014 and now that is not the case. Holland didn't panic and didn't make moves because he knew what he had when the team was healthy. Now that patience is being shown on the ice. The Wings are still in range to take 1st overall in the east. When the playoff come around, this team could very well fizzle in the first round, but they have the resilience to make it to the finals.

Well I guess there's no such thing as bad publicity.

You're partially right.

But most of us thought the doom and gloomers were hilarious and decided to show them how funny it is.

I know that it's supposed to be a joke, but it's not funny anymore. I could see how it would have been useful maybe back in November/December to make a point, but the point has been made, the team is really good, and tbh the constant "tank it" in every thread is akin to people trolling more than anything else

It's no worse than the "we like our team/kicked the tires" bulls*** that gets spewed every time Holland does something that people don't like, and that's been going on for *years.* It drives me nuts, but it is what it is. Some people think it's funny. I don't. Oh well.

It wasnt useful until the "sky is falling" crowd showed up when we had a bad game or two.

And you don't have to think everything that's said on here is funny, the same way people don't have to agree on things.

But if you're feeling left out, you're more than welcome to join in our reindeer games. its not directed towards you, BTW.

What Jimmy said. Plus, Kenny actually did a great job at the deadline, getting two good pickups for cheap. If they stay healthy, I think they can make some noise in the postseason this year. Then the tank will be running over the opposition and flattening them, ;)

I know ;) . My problem wasn't that I don't think it's funny (I don't) but that it's just seems like trolling ("positive" trolling maybe, but trolling nonetheless). But whatever hahaha
