NHL Draft lottery race II - Bruins locked into 5th before ping pong balls.

[Mick Riddleton]

PP, now is your time, Michkov

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Flyers blow so hard.

 

[KrugAvoy]

Philly is awful. Apparently the Super Mario sound wasn't enough of a cue that the penalty was over for that idiot D man

 

[KlausJopling]

Flyers really suck. They deserve a better pick. That was a rough watch.

 

[Olden McGroin]

Ok, 5th pick pre lottery

 

[MattFromFranklin]

Bahahahaha of course the Bruins would screw up the tank

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Terrible PP. But there's a reason this team is 29th. Ah well. Provisional 5th it is. Still solid.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Flyers really suck, but our management blew this. Leafs tanked intentionally and got Matthews.

 

[The don godfather]

I'm just hoping we stay 5th .

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

At least the Bruins beat Pittsburgh in that meaningless game so many went batshit crazy for them to win.

 

[DiggityDog]

Bahahahaha of course the Bruins would screw up the tank

Screw up a tank? They were like 2 points out of a playoff spot coming out of the four nations.

Flyers will win the draw and draft the next Makar. We will draft and oft injured big guy that shows potential to be a middle sixer.

 

[Carl Hungus]

You have 2 games left and are sitting at 4OA odds. You play all your top guys and get 3 points in 2 games to jump to 5th OA. You do it for "pride", after having an atrocious year where half the time "pride" is the last word anyone would associate with the games they played, when what you need most is top end talent in the system.

Make it make sense. I get it's not the end of the world, but it's just so incredibly short sighted of a move.

I’m going into the draft that the player the Bruins pick will be a bust, then maybe I will be pleasantly surprised at some point in the future

Not getting my hopes up after tonight

This team has become the New England Patriots

On purpose.

The Bruins did a pretty solid intentional tank. The one step they refused to take was to rest healthy players. Which they probably should have done, especially on the road. Still, pick 5 from where they were is decent. Only one away from the maximum potential spot.

Desnoyers or Martone will be there let's hope donny doesnt reach.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

I'm gonna be so bummed when they draft Eklund.

 

[KrugAvoy]

1. Shaefer
2. Misa
3. Hagens
4. Frondell
5. Desnoyers
6. Martone
7. Eklund

So at worst, it'll be Martone or Eklund, maybe O Brien if we end up 7 and Sweeney wants a C. If we're lucky we stay at 5

Flyers could've drafted the first Makar, but chose Nolan Patrick instead

Unless it drops to... 7 is it? That would be unfortunate. I doubt the Bruins win the lottery.

With Sweeney, Neely, and Dean Malkoc being at the draft table there's a pretty good chance that happens, unfortunately.

Based on history ...
