No matter what happens and how upset it makes you, there are no possible outcomes that are legitimate evidence that the Draft Lottery is rigged. 

The only thing that can happen to constitute proof would be an impossibility - Toronto winning, as an example. Or the Denver Broncos. 

 

Keep that in mind as we all moan about something that is pretty likely to be an upsetting turn of events for the Buffalo Sports fan. 

And prepare your sacrifice to the hockey gods ASAP!

 

Let's go Buffalo! Let's go lotto balls! Bring us Dahlin!

Edmonton wins it again.

 

I actually kind of want Edmonton to win it again, if only because that would be the final nail for the lottery.  Or at least it would be, if we weren't dealing with the NHL.

I kinda agree with this. But I also don't wanna see 5 to 6 teams purposefully tanking every year.

That would just make the NHL proclaim how well the lottery works.

Because we'd be one of them? Or because we couldn't beat them anyway?

So how much is Bettman paying you?

But that's what happens now.

I'm not 100% sure it's purposeful. Look at us, bottom of the league and we were shooting for the playoffs this year. Just because you suck doesn't mean you suck on purpose.

I'm looking forward to changing my username back to English and going back to the Schmelik avatar

I love your avatar. But yes, tonight the final event of our Sabres season is tonight and it calls for a reboot.

Pffft. What more could they do to us? We've already weathered all they have to offer. Bring it on!

 

Oh dear...

 

We are now losing the lottery...

trading Guhle to move up from 4 to 2...

drafting Tkachuk at 2...

signing Lehner to a four-year, $20-million deal...

Tyler Bozak to a five-year, $25-million deal...

watching Kane sign with the Leafs for a five year, $20 million deal...

trading O'Reilly, Scandella and a our 2nd to the Oilers for Nugent-Hopkins and Larsson...

 

...and listening to Terry Pegula say "he will be a Sabre for as long as he wants to be" at the press conference announcing Bogosian's 8-year extension

Is this part of a first draft to Dante's Inferno that didn't make the final cut?

Since I guess this is the pinned draft lotto thread, I'll change the title. Can anybody post the official time and place to watch? Brawndo?

This stupid thing has a prime time show at 7:30 PM for picks 4 - 15.

 

The top 3 picks will be drawn during the second intermission of a game that starts at 8:00 PM EDT.  So, maybe 10:00 PM EDT.

 

Oh, the humanity!!

That's right.  It will be like 11:00 PM real time in NS.  Way past my bed time, especially after all the hours I have put in at work this month.

 

That said, we had some thunderstorms here this morning and my wife and I took advantage and played it safe ... we stayed in bed this morning until almost 11:00 ..........  :flirt:
