chcarlson23 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The Minnesota Wild in all their misery this year finished behind the Hawks, and missed the playoffs, but of course, the Blackhawks are the team that gets a pick in the top 3 I guess you can see why Minnesota hates Chicago for the most part "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

The_Admiral Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I know, it's not fair, the top three teams are supposed to win the draft lottery as if there were no lottery at all. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Not only that, but the Devils have won the lottery twice in the last three years now. I mean, if the NHL wanted to rig this, they would've found a way to get the 'Hawks or the Rangers into that top overall spot. The Devils? Most hockey fans still hate them for what they did to the sport 15-25 years ago and wish nothing more than to see them swim in a sea of irrelevance for the rest of their days.

The_Admiral Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I'm over it. Without Lamoriello in the organization anymore they're just the Other Islanders, as opposed to the Actual Islanders, who have the actual Lamoriello. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Connor McDavid winding up in Edmonton should end any discussion of whether or not the lottery is rigged. I still don't get why they can't do the drawing out in the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't get why they can't do the drawing out in the open. They need to come up with a way that's better TV. As it is, both the NHL and NBA have this byzantine system of number combinations where the balls come up, like, 6-13-2-8 and then they have to check a big book of numbers to see which team those numbers correspond to. I think everyone wants to believe there are ping-pong balls with logos stamped on them, so maybe do that. Spin a wheel. Do something that looks better than what they do now. The NBA got it right, at least in terms of spectacle, with the Ewing draft lottery.

Cosmic Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I never realized how much Ralph Krueger looks like a guy named Ralph Krueger. Anyway, he's left his soccer job and apparently he could be the Sabres' coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they should just put a bunch of small pieces of paper (gotta be small because the big envelopes the NBA did during the Ewing lottery were absurd and gameable) into a big drum and have an attractive lady pull them out one at a time.

Alex Houston Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 So are we already 86'ing a Press Your Luck style selection, where executives try and time up the pattern and avoid getting their version of The Whammy, The Gary? "And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
