Nightfall 871 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 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.

roboturner 562 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) You're partially right. But most of us thought the doom and gloomers were hilarious and decided to show them how funny it is. #tomasthetank 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 Edited March 6, 2015 by roboturner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 They should trade everyone in the offseason so they can go full M1-A1 Abrams next year. I wonder if they could get the #1 or 2 overall for Nyquist, Tatar, and Dekeyser, plus a couple more guys? #moretankin15-16 2 TheXym and jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheXym 2,606 Report post Posted March 7, 2015 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, 1 jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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).
