NHL Draft Lottery

[GhostofPotvin29]

I did it 10 times, Buffalo only won once, NJ (dear god) won twice, Leafs once.  That one is fun.

I went 10 times, Buffalo only won once on mine too. The Sharks won twice!

edit: Went to 13 and the Sharks won again! What the heck

edit2: Sharks won again on the 16th time haha

I'd love to see some Buffalo fans playing around on this thing.

Would not surprise me one bit when McDavid ends up where Bettman thinks he's needed the most!  Nothing random about that!  :

Just so I know when to be upset: which team is where Bettman thinks he's needed the most?

Phoenix/Buffalo/Toronto/Carolina/Los Angeles/New Jersey/Philadelphia/Los Angeles/Boston

 

[Bullfrog]

First try:

You're welcome. Shove it Bettman!

 

[Kin]

I swear, it's like none of you have ever even heard of jinxes.

Bettman make it T.O the hockey Vatican, the league needs the Leafs to be juggernauts, our franchise alone floats about 6 teams at the bottom of the NHL food chain.

I take full responsibility for the loss. I just wanted to show us all that anything is possible when you only dream!  :'(

McDavid will pull a Lindros and refuse to play for any other team then Toronto.

Jinxes only work if you run them 1000 times.

The thing to remember is, if LAK or BOS win it, it absolutely does not mean the thing was rigged.  The laws of probability are such that you should never be surprised if an unexpected outcome happens in response to a particular trial ... that's what randomness means. 

An even more important thing to remember might be that the list of teams that, if they win, people will say proves that it was rigged is probably longer than the list of teams where people wouldn't say that.

Indeed.  That's called the Law of Large Riggings.

how does this lottery work, do they put balls in a spinnerama machine. If so we have a 9.5% chance to win, so how does half a ball work.

It's not a great stretch to believe that McDavid will grow into a Top 5 or higher NHL player.

The Leafs have never had that, even with Dougie at his 2 year peak - even so that was really
only a few years.

As a 50+ year Leaf fan.......I'm not sure how I would react if they won. Good things just don't
happen to this team but this year, after the tank began, *things* seemed to go just a little
in our favor.

Maybe....just....maybe.  :-X  :-X  :-X

I'm just saying that you guys are bringing an awful lot of bad mojo onto this team for the process. Luckily, the lady down the street from me practices Santeria so I should be able to put things right. Well, that or she just cooks a lot of chicken...the point is I think I've got us covered.

On Leafs Lunch Jamie McClennan is always away when stuff happens and he's
away in the Maritimes...so.....

You rock, man.

I took my 10 and Buffalo and San Jose (San Jose!!!!) won 3 time each.  Columbus won twice.  The Leafs won on the tenth go around, and the Oilers won in between somewhere.  I need to stop because this thing is making me mad!!

Ask Lance Armstrong?? 

*runs away*

 

[iwas11in67]

I can't believe how many times Buffalo doesn't win

 

[Deebo]

I can't believe how many times Buffalo doesn't win

They have an 80% chance of losing.

 

[iwas11in67]

Then I ran it 15 more times and Buffalo won it 3 times...so never mind
