The no move lottery.

They still get #2.

Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to go have myself a tall, refreshing glass of bleach now.

I guess they finally felt bad enough for SJ, and figured since they have never had the first overall they would let them have it. Didn't figure there was any way in hell Chicago wasn't winning that thing. I'm sure they won't cry too much about picking second.

The no move lottery.

Which someone pointed out means Chicago is eligible to win again next year.

Is the rule you can't win 3 in a row?

Chicago shouldn't suck as much next season if Bedard stays healthy and some of their other picks move up to the big club.

Correct.

So Dallas blew a 3-0 lead and lost. Led 3-0 after one, and wound up losing in OT 4-3.

That game was almost identical to our infamous Blackhawks game 1 in 2015. We led 3-0 after one and wound up losing 4-3 in 2OT. We actually played very well in that series. I always wonder what would have happened had we not blown that game.

I'm thinking that's another series where we made a backup goalie look awesome. Darling, maybe?

Yeah we were wearing Crawford out, especially Wilson, and then they swapped and it all went down hill.

In that series, we lost

a 2OT game (that we led 3-0).
A 3OT game,
And a one goal game in which we led 2-0 early.
Had two blowout wins at home.

Yet another very painful series loss, one that we easily could/should have won.

So it took Edmonton a period and half to drop as many goals...on 14 shots...on Silovs as we did in, what, 3-4 games?

Well, we did provide them with tape on the shots NOT to take.

Also some fluke shit. That Ceci shot should not be going in.
