Where's Wellwood Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The last few drafts, there's been a tank phrase associated with each projected player to go 1st overall. It's pretty accepted that the tank phrase for Hall and Yakupov were Fall for Hall and Fail for Nail. MacKinnon's was something like Stop Winnin' for MacKinnon. Play Bad for Ekblad (or some slight variation) looks to be Ekblad's tank phrase. I can't find any tank phrase for RNH online. The best I've come up with myself is Stop Tryin' for Ryan. So we have (with input from the thread):1980: Drink Whiskey and Budweiser for Dale Wickenheiser1981: Don't Give a Fuck for Hawerchuk1982: Give Teams some Slack for Gord Kluzak1983: Keep Playing Rotten to draft Brian Lawton1984: Play like Poo for Mario Lemieux1985: Lack Heart for Clark 1986: Blow for Joe1987: Don't Care for Pierre 1988: Avoid the Battle for Mike Modano1990: Get the Golf Clubs a Goin' and Wait for Owen1991: Another Loss for Lindros1992: Call in Sick for Roman Hamrlik. 1993: Post a Bagel for Alex Daigle1995: Suck Hard for Bryan Berard 1998: Give up Today for Lecavalier 1999: Don't beat anyone for Stefan 2000: Finish Low for DiPietro 2001: Lose the Puck for Kovalchuk 2002: Get Smashed for Nash 2003: Not in a Hurry for Marc-Andre Fleury 2004: Skate Slowly for Ovie (or Tailspin for Ovechkin) 2005: Losing Skid for Sid the Kid 2007: A Year of Pain for Patrick Kane 2008: Lose the Most for Stamkos 2010: Fall for Hall 2011: Stop Tryin' for Ryan 2012: Fail for Nail 2013: Stop Winnin' for MacKinnon 2014: Play Bad for Ekblad (or No Heart for Reinhart, Blowing it for Bennett, Drown and Fail for Draisaitl) 2015: Lose Honour for Connor Can we, the brilliant minds of CDC, come up with any for McDavid and beyond (Chychrun, etc) and retroactively make some for Tavares and before?

Brad Marchand Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Always preferred Suck Bad for Ekblad (more alliteration). No Heart For Reinhart has been thrown around. Someone also suggested Lose Honour For Connor (think it was BanTSN). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time Lord Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Always preferred Suck Bad for Ekblad (more alliteration). Alliteration is when the starting consonant sounds are the same for many words in a sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B00MER Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 No honour for Connor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
