I think it's weird to be super angry about a team winning the lottery...and insinuating it is rigged, when the team had the 3rd highest odds to win. But yeah keep those conspiracy hats on
you think it’s weird to be mad that a team who covered up the sexual assault of a player are getting rewarded for it? I think that’s pretty weird
saying "getting rewarded for it" is acting like the NHL purposely decided to give them the number one pick because of the scandal. If you believe that then cool, but I find it a weird thing to believe.
They got rewarded with the chance of winning said lottery by not having to forfeit the pick, so yes, the NHL are rewarding them for it. Never forget…
I didn't leap to "their" defense because I wasn't sure if "they" were still employed there. I figured I'd get the answer here quicker because a literal one-word yes/no confirmation/disconfirmation was all I was looking for. Nobody responsible was being "defended" so please spare me that disingenuous horseshit.
Even if it isn’t rigged, the league allowed them to keep picks and didn’t lose a single one. So instead of facing any sort of repercussions, they basically got to lay low, blatantly tank, and now get to reap the rewards of it.
ah yes, the nhl lottery is rigged so that’s why big market and extremely relevant team New Jersey got two #1 picks in three years
The best way for the league to remove all doubt that the lottery isn't rigged is to air the damn drawing live.
It’s funny because giving the pick to Chicago just ensures the same people will follow the sport & the same white suburban families who can afford tickets will go to games. They also cut their fan development program & stopped sponsoring youth hockey in the city.
I cannot stop giggling over that Oilers fan that I'm pretty sure is a kid with full on rage face and middle finger flying at Jack Eichel after he scored.
Jersey is a weird one because it’s a small market in a congested area but they left a big footprint nationwide in the 90’s & 00’s.
I knew it was not going to go in the CBJ’s favor. They really screwed themselves by beating Pittsburgh at the end. Assuming they will draft Carlson or Smith third.
Most rigged shit I've ever seen. They mentioned that CBJ was picking 3rd before flipping the card lmao.
