Everybody is.

I know that there is something special out there if we win the lottery, but i just cant get excited about the process. I am so tired of this.

I'm sorry but McDavid should be with Buffalo and Eichel to Arizona. Two worst teams get the two best players just like the NFL Draft. Im sick of this lottery crap. Putting the fans thru bad seasons is punishment enough. Yes GM's can trade and move players up and down but the players and coaches aren't throwing games on purpose.

I must be the only one that just wants this over. I've had enough of this tank.

These last two seasons have been far the worst I can remember. I was totally not motivated to watch this team. I not a fan of this draft lottery at all. NFL doesn't use it and it's the best league of all the major sports. I would be pissed if team 10-14 got McDavid. Defeats the whole purpose of the worst team getting the best player. Like I said in a previous posts maybe in the 80's the teams threw games but not in the present day. Players are playing hard and coaches are coaching to keep their job. Most of the tank talk is about an organization doing a major rebuild up and down the roster, coaches, GM's and scouts. Putting the fans thru that is hard enough but what could possibly make it worse is a team that just barely missed the playoffs by getting the best player. To me that's not fair.

They're just gonna announce the winner, the same way as last year with the envelopes. However they will make the ball drawing available for public viewing afterwards on NHL.com.

 

After the CGI programmers get done with it.

If this lottery pisses you off then just wait until next year. I think it's something like a 50 50 chance the team in DFL picks 4th.

I know and it's not fair that way. Organizations going thru major rebuilds shouldnt be punished because they are going a different direction. The players and coaches aren't throwing games on purpose. Think about this why did Darcy start the whole rebuild process to begin with. Unfortunately this is what happens when your so called core group isn't good enough to compete for the cup. They had their chance and didn't get it done and they were on the down swing. So they(the organization) decided to let him tear it down and start over. Most teams don't do a total rebuild. So u should be punished for the team supposedly tanking. If the league found out that the teams were throwing games or suspected more than that behind the scenes the team would be punished.

I want it to die. Die all to death.

Me too. I just believe the worst teams should get the top picks. Not teams on the playoff bubble or a Stanley Cup winning team that had a ton of injuries to key people and a defenseman that couldn't control himself from hitting his woman. How is that fair to teams in total rebuild mode?

Pics or shens.

Dark, I have throughly underestimated the spending power of the folks down here in God's waiting room. No chance I'm coming home with this Chevelle. Hopefully we still win the lottery.

Who needs luck,  Connor is on his way to Buffalo as we speak :P.  He's driving his beat up pinto to Buffalo from Erie.  It might take him a few months to push the thing.

NO! NOT A PINTO!!!

 

Had me rolling! Cheers to you.  :beer:

 

Great link to Best of Quagmire in the related videos.   :D

You'll be singing a different tune when BUF wins the Matthews lottery next season.

 

Fun fact, Auston Matthews missed the draft birthday cutoff for 2015 by 2 days.

Nah, that one'll be fun.

 

"The Toronto Maple Leafs would like to thank the city of Buffalo and the great fans for hosting the draft and woukd like to thank the Sabres for beating us 6 times to ensure our finishing 30th. And with the 4th pick in the 2016 draft we select ..." :lol:

I've been thinking about this scenario, McDavid-Seguin-Spezza down the middle is ridiculous.

No to Dallas. I said this before and will keep saying it. If we lose the lottery I would much rather him go to Arizona. He would help that market and give those fans a great player. Plus they need a player like that there to sell tickets. Hope it doesn't happen but if he has to go to another team that's where I would rather see him go! Edited by SabresBillsFan
