DarthEbriate Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Oh, and just so it's out here, here are the odds for all teams. Buffalo: 7.6% 7.8% 8.0% (23.4% chance of 1, 2, or 3) None None 14.3% (37.7% chance of staying where we were at 6th or moving up to 1, 2, or 3; 62.3% chance of sliding back at least one spot) 38.2% (52.5% chance of staying at 6 or sliding back only one spot to 7) 21.4% 2.6% (24% chance of sliding back more than one spot to 8 or 9) So about equal 1-in-4ish chance of moving up to 1, 2, 3 as getting hosed back to 8 or 9. Half a chance of staying put at 6 or moving back one spot- but in that case, it's 2.7-to-1 in favor of sliding back one spot. ######'s rigged. Never tell me the odds!

darksabre Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 For the record, I don't see anything listed on NBC for this. I think they're just going to lead off the 8:00 game with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorner Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 For the record, I don't see anything listed on NBC for this. I think they're just going to lead off the 8:00 game with the results. Here, the CBC has the show started at 7:30 eastern, but I believe they said the results are not aired until 8. So probably the same for NBC.

dudacek Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm picking the Canucks. Finally pick first in a year without a true number one available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohicksie Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Is the lottery aired live ? It says NBC in the thread title, but I checked NBC broadcast network here in Texas and it's the Pens/Caps game at 7 CT (8 ET), preceded by the local news. On NBCSN, it's IndyCar racing.

TheAud Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) NHL.com says 8PM Edit: for announcing results. Maybe there is a show talking about it for 30 minutes beforehand if that's your thing. I'd rather clean the bathtub than watch that.

Thorner Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Anyone want to venture a guess at the probability one of Heiskanen or Makar will be available at 6, should we stand pat? Who's the next best available D man, Liljegren? Edited April 29, 2017 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKnowPhysics Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) I don't see pre-lottery show in my local listings (for NBC, NBCSN, NHLN, or any of the usual NHLCI channels). Are they gonna do the reveal during the 5 minutes of pregame before the Pens Caps game on NBC? Edited April 29, 2017 by IKnowPhysics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will they announce during the pre-game for the Pens-Caps game which is on NBC at 8? I don't see pre-lottery show in my local listings (for NBC, NBCSN, NHLN, or any of the usual NHLCI channels). Are they gonna do the reveal during the 5 minutes of pregame before the Pens Caps game on NBC? Psych. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
