I want this to be the year the first two cards he flips are winners. That would kill their whole show

Would guarantee Fantilli so I can accept this

 

[KJ Dangler]

Praying for 1 or 2.. expect us to land at 3 , and select Will Smith

If the first two cards are flipped, that means 16th and 15th won the lottery and we don't move at all as they would move into 6th and 5th.

Are we sure this works this way for the 2nd pick? I thought I read somewhere that whoever wins the 2nd drawing gets #2. Any have written proof

The maximum anyone can move up for either drawing is 10 spots.

So if someone wins the drawing, and it doesn't move them into the #1 or #2 spot, they have to have at least one more drawing? Or does one of the top two spots simply remain unchanged?

There are always two drawings. The first one may get you to 1st overall, but it is not guaranteed. The second one may get you to 2nd overall, but it is not guaranteed.

Got it.

Man.. how do you recondition your mind to be optimistic , when nearly every time the cbj have the worst luck imaginable . I want to be optimistic .. not even sure I will be able to watch

You just do. Don't ever dwell on the negative. You always rebound in life and we will regardless of tonight's outcome with cbj

Well, best friend's job pushed back their Workday/Salesforce rollout because it didn't work this morning, so now we're going to go to the watch party at CBC after all with some other friends including BFF's terrible loud boyfriend. Sorry ahead of time if you're planning to be there, because he's deeply annoying. I don't know if I want to cry in public, but I'll only cry if we get first overall.

Bedard needs to sign the lease on the Arena District apartment now. He's coming to Columbus.

He can be roomates with his buddy Johnson. Theyll have all kinds of time to train together and discuss how they are going to destroy the league

Anyone going to the draft party?

Lol thanks, I'm too focused on the top 11 teams to even consider the rest of the bunch winning the lottery.

Happy to see the little happy incidents of y'all but sad to say my lottery day just got worse as the betting site removed the bet two full hours before the event just as I was going to put in my selections ffs. I've been preparing for weeks and knew I should put it in well ahead of time to prevent this but of course I didn't... I will scream so hard if CHI, MTL, PHI or WSH wins the #1 pick now.

Edit: Managed to put some bets in on another site (one that's screwed me over before or at least wasn't forthcoming on some of the bonus terms or whatever). Not as great of a plan as my original one but disaster has been avoided. Bring on the lottery!

(I think my original site hadn't realized the time had changed and probably had an automatic timer of "remove 1 hour before the event" or something like that, this other site will also close one hour before but adjusted to the new start time...)

Sportsbooks have taken the Lottery off of the board? That's interesting.

I believe the lottery is already done. It’s just the official spectacle part that’s on 8 pm. They fear one of the executives that were there leaks info

He tweeted this an hour ago. Would not be surprised if the lottery itself is being run very shortly if it hasn’t already

 

[CBJx614]

I'm still convinced this jinxed us. Praying we stay at 2nd...

 

[GoJackets1]

My fridge died this afternoon. Good sign or bad sign?

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I haven’t been this anxious about the jackets since the Tampa series. Pretty sad

Buying a condo didn’t keep PLDouche here.

Good.

Bedard is actually the French word for ice box.


Not really.

 

[Jaxs]

Don't have hopes too high. What a boost getting the #1 would be to this organization. Fantilli would be ok too! Just one time.

I watched an episode of The Wall this afternoon. The balls dropped horribly.

I'm not optimistic.
