GDT: Draft Lottery 5/8/2023 8 PM

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

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

I'm not optimistic.

That's the kind of hardcore practice habits we need for this, kudos!

 

[CBJ goalie]

Didn't think I would be, but I am kinda nervous..... excited nervous.

 

[ProfessorFink22]

Good luck to us all!

As a long time lurker and rare poster, I appreciate all of you loyal diehards who stick with the team and give me things to read. You deserve some good fortune!

 

[stevo61]

That's probably the 4 but some teams supposedly have Dvorsky top 4 so we can't rule out him being the 4th.



JD recent interview: we're taking a center.

Whats Dvorsky's upside? 1C but not as likely as others to reach it? More of a 2C guy on a good team?

 

[CBJx614]

I hate this feeling. So excited knowing you're more than going to be let down yet there's still that tiny little bit of hope....

Here’s how the show is going to go, at least from history.

5-10 minutes of intros. Then they bring the cards out. Commercial

Then they come back and do the 16-10 range. Then another commercial.

Then they come back and do 9-4. Leaving the top 3. Commercial then they return and the do the final one

Final 5 minutes or so to preview the game coming on.

Sources say Bedard has bought a lifetime pass to the Columbus Zoo but I am awaiting verification

Reading the reaction of this thread will be more entertaining than watching ping pong balls rise to the top

It’s gonna happen.

I really do think this is going to be the season when two teams outside the top 5/10 win it..

Continue down the mediocre road or the organization changes tonight!

Let's go!!!

Lol, dammit I had that EXACT gif ready to go!

I approve

As an out of state guy, ESPN+ was a game changer for me, not only as a Jackets fan but a hockey fan.

Now ESPNs playoff coverage is a different story entirely. Extremely frustrating on that front.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Pens fan coming in peace. I'm pulling for you guys. My team certainly knows how the first pick can change the future, having been lucky to get this twice via lottery. CBJ's deserves some good fortune, and I figure karma is swinging in your favor soon as it always eventually does. I suffered through the second half of a 15 year losing streak in the Spectrum and know that feeling when a rival seems to get all the breaks. I'd love to see Bedard in the Metro, Jackets are due, best of luck!

 

[tunnelvision]

Bucci doesn't seem super excited. Could be a bad sign.

 

[DougKnowsBest]

98% chance I’m underwhelmed by Kevin weekes interview

Got tired of watching the Philadelphia, Chicago or Boston game of the week. Been so long I dont even know whats out there for home games. I actually like a radio broadcast for hockey and baseball...

All this Bedard hype is going to make all the other teams and their fans cry at the end of this, no matter how much we pretend "there's no consolation prize".

Edit: So it's Bill Daly show as predicted earlier.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Good luck guys

Palms are sweaty

John Daley would be more entertaining

What's our policy on time/stream/tv delays, as people invariably will see the results at different times? Everybody just post immediately or do we try to do something else... I guess the boards all over will be exploding so maybe no point?

Policy is "be prepared for spoilers"
