Why can't the actual lottery be shown? Not the final results but the bingo balls being shown?

because then we will know how the Pens and Caps will tank for the next hockey legends and get the #1 pick

 

[NicRattlehead]

Wait the new team is refered as "Utah" instead of "Salt Lake City"? That sucks.

Salt Lake City is too long of a name. I think SLC is great but Utah is so much easier to say. My vote based on the names they put in a copyright for would be (1) Yeti and (2) Blizzard. The worst by a wide margin in my opinion is “Fury”. This sounds like the name of a WNBA or womens soccer team.

Colorado Avalanche
Florida Panthers
Minnesota Wild
Arizona Coyotes
Carolina Hurricanes

Obviously i want the habs to win the lottery. But im just hoping they dont move down at this point

 

[Habssince89]

I think we all know the hockey gods want maximum drama, so we're going to move up to #2, which will make our fanbase tear each other apart because there's no consensus. Celebrini is an easy pick, but at #2 its tricky.

Bob Mckenzie usually gives an updated draft rankings on lottery day. It will be interesting to see what his top 5 looks like now

I feel like it'll consist of Celebrini, Demidov, Levshunov, Buium and Lindstrom in some order.

I could see some risers making it into the top 5 in some scouts lists, but I don't think they'll be unanimous enough on them to make it into Bob's top 5.

Is this televised tuesday night??

Is this televised tuesday night??

It is.

I streamed it live to a few people on here a few years ago that weren't able to watch it live.

If anyone has issues of that sort, I can set it up again.

I haven't touched the lottery simulator since the end of the season when we finished fifth officially. I pressed the button, we got first overall...

I'm not touching it again.

same here! I'm not pushing my luck lol .... not that it matters... but it matters to me lmao

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

You imply that it’s fixed somehow? If it’s fixed, why did they pick Chicago last year? Chicago seems like a very unlikeable franchise at the moment.

Anyone who thinks these things are fixed have more serious problems that they should be focusing on.

 

[Scintillating10]

Love the reverse jinx approach

Whatever it is it is. We get good player at 5.

Who produced this? SCTV?

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

The issue is that Salt Lake City sounds way better. It is such a legendary city as well for sports. With the multiple winter Olympics and so forth. Why do they have waste something so good right out of the crib.

They want the whole states support though.

 

[Kimota]

No shit!

Colorado Avalanche
Florida Panthers
Minnesota Wild
Arizona Coyotes
Carolina Hurricanes

It's about how it sounds really is my issue. Not by naming the state.

I get that but If the name is short then you can have Salt Lake City. Like I don't know, Salt Lake City Saints(?).

Also I love that Salt Lake City gets to have a team, not Utah. lol

 

[KFlint]

I just love the sound of the Utah Lakers, yet nobody has been thinking of it apparently… well, I did what I could

Don’t really think the LA Lakers would approve of that.

It always reminds me of how dumb the CFL is. 8 teams and two had the same name.

 

[Whalers Fan]

I didn’t know there was such a thing as naming rights for a different sport… They have a damn lake too!

New Jersey Devils

New Jersey a city though, like New York but I get your point
