Draft/Draft Lottery meet-up

[0point1]

Got Coyotes on the first and third try

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Same for me just now. Is this a sign from Providence?

Don't knock it - Providence just won NCAA hockey last week...beating Eichel...

 

[samabam]

Yotes also won on the 1st lotto draw I just did.

As a user with pi in the nickname I expect an understanding of statistics and stochastics

I'll be in the yotes IRC channel, trying to find a stream...you guys living over there are so lucky

Ran it 10 times. Coyotes won twice. Sabres once.

Sharks won first, and the Devils won twice in a row. CBJ won two as well. Oilers and Leafs won the remaining two.

Don't have a good feeling about this at all.

Well, I do have a math degree and work as an analyst for a local corporation. But you don't need one to know that stochastic is just mathurbatory talk for "**** happens."

Mathurbatory, that's classic.

awfulwaffle and I will be at Majerle's right next to Talking Stick Arena for the draft lottery if anyone wants to join us.

 

[awfulwaffle]

Heck yeah, Coyotes landing #1 or #2, then the Rattlers taking home another victory. Sounds like a great night to me.

 

[Grimes]

So is this at 4:30 or 5?

 

[awfulwaffle]

So is this at 4:30 or 5?

All I've seen is 5pm.

 

[rt]

So is this at 4:30 or 5?

I'm guessing they'll do 15mins of hype and commercials. 10mins of envelope opening and commercials. Then 5mins of retrospective hype and commercials. If I had to guess, we will know who owns the top pick some time between 4:45 and 4:55.

 

[rt]

All I've seen is 5pm.

The game starts at five. I'm guessing the lotto is done before the game starts?

 

[awfulwaffle]

The game starts at five. I'm guessing the lotto is done before the game starts?

I had assumed that was like any other TV broadcast, where the pregame takes X amount of minutes, and the actual game doesn't start for about 20 minutes in.

You might be right. The NHL sure sucks at hype and marketing in general. McDavid might be the best NHLer in a decade and they can't even get people who already know, and already want to watch, to have any clue how or when they can watch. It's pathetic. This league has itself to blame for being the red headed step child of the major pro sports.

 

[Grimes]

Yeah I'm not sure if it's a whole 30 minute deal before the pregame, or during the pregame.

Thank you for someone finally making a concrete statement. I'll see you there around 430.

I will be the intoxicated one in the ASU football shirt.

I agree. Altough the NFL doesn't have the lottery, their draft night is watched by many. It makes too much sense to have this marketed and known. It's like they are just sliding this under the rug.

 

[BUX7PHX]

Sadly, the flight that I was standing by for filled up. Sending good vibes long distance. Would have been nice to meet people whom I have probably not met before (maybe)

 

[Summer Rose]

I'm in a black sweater, gray shirt, jeans, and black ballet flats.

Wait, you're sitting next to me on the train, why am I telling you this?

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Puck drops at about 10 after, so they have plenty of time to draw the numbers a say who won. Takes a minute or 2 I would guess.

 

[Grimes]

I will be at Yucca (craft beer room) in a Yotes hat and a beard. Be there around 4:45

 

[TJinAZ]

Are you kidding me

The freaking oilers?

WTF?

 

[Kaizen]

Now all this **** about Hanafin, Strome or Marner actually matters - fuqk

 

[Kaizen]

Hope for the OEL scenario- the player we are left to draft end up developing into a fuqing awesome player.
