Kramerica Industries Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Seems appropriate with the draft lottery having been conducted tonight, and, thus, setting the wheels in motion for off-season activity. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=668455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUELANDbeliever Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Poor Panthers, they can't even win something that isn't a hockey game. BigMac's posts make me want to punch babies.Hockey is weird and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won three games, and lost in OT in the 6th and 7th games of that series. OTL = point. Two OTL = two points. Six + Two = Eight. Kevin Dineen is still scratching his head.

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I don't like the lottery system; in either NBA or NHL. You can Florida got shafted, but at least the worst team (who has the highest odds) can't finish worse then 3rd in the lottery.Sure, it helps out those who consistently lose, but how do we know if a team didn't throw games to get better odds?

You can only be moved down one spot.Throwing games to get better odds in the lottery is pretty much exactly the same problem as throwing games to get a better pick... that's something that every league deals with already. Plus, I don't think players currently on a team give a damn about the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I kicked this around yesterday.Teams that are 1-7 are the only ones that have the shot at number 1 pick, well 8-14 have a chance to move all the way up to 8th. Better's the odds of the worst teams in the league, well the mediocre teams till have a shot at a Top 10 pick.

wildwing64 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 So me and a friend were talking about this Stadium Series possibly being a replacement for the NHL Premiere.This season there was no Premiere because of the lockout, and so far there's been no indication from the league that there will be any games held in Europe next season. With the NHL losing millions from the lockout, sending teams over here being an expensive affair, and since outdoor games can sell over three times as many tickets as a regular game, it comes across as if the Stadium Series is the NHL's way of making back what it lost. And because of this it does look like the Premiere concept is being put on hold for a while. A real shame if this is the end, as that's so far been my only way of seeing NHL games in person, including my first (and currently my only) Ducks game.

vmd9 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Like I said at the end of the season topic, Colorado conveniently ending up with Seth Jones seems like a fixI have to feel that Colorado would have gotten Jones with either the 1st or 2nd pick. Florida would have gone for offense and taken Drouin or MacKinnon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
