In Chicago's defense... how much of the management group responsible for the Kyle Beach fiasco is still even there?
It’s almost like the league has a type lol if this happened in the nba lottery, it would be massive but for the nhl it’s just the usual
Never been more convinced the lottery is rigged. They announced Columbus had moved down without showing the card flip, went to commercial break, came back from commercial and pretended like the Jackets were still in it when we already knew they weren’t. NHL wanted him in a big market. Fuck the Blackhawks forever
Like can you imagine if the Knicks, the nets, the bulls and the Celtics kept winning the lottery? Lmao
Like I’m honestly gonna have to wait until 2030 or some shit to actually get excited about my dogshit hockey team but until then I’m gonna be mad the country club stays the way it is.
Hawks not losing any picks for covering up sexual assault says all you need. Great league. nothing to see here, go get your Bedard jersey and pretend nothing happened
"The Chicago Blackhawks" aren't a sentient entity unto themselves. If the people responsible aren't there anymore, who cares.
No logical reason the NHL can’t show the actual balls being drawn live as opposed to in a back room where nobody can see. Such a joke league
In what possible way is "Focus on the people responsible, and don't focus on the people not responsible" a weird take?
I don’t think the nba shows the lottery balls either anymore, they do it in a room with the press like an hour before lol
its almost like the guy who still owns the team owned the hawks then and knew about the bad shit happening too
They received zero punishment as an organization lol we definitely do not need to hand it to them for anything. The owner let it happen and is now going to reap benefits from getting handed a top prospect.
Okay so then when I asked, "are the people responsible still there" the answer was "yes". And so would've ended the conversation. This didn't need multiple posts to hash out.
Him and about plenty of other lesser people in the organization, as well as players who played for the team this year, but @White would rather “well actually…” lol
