i like the fact they moving the nets back, every since they put more space behind the nets, scoring has gone down. Hopefully this means lss cycling.
Beauty eh?

Did you wat Bettman just said they will be annoucing the draft lottery results from 30th to 1. The lottery is definitley fixed.

They will be ANNOUNCING the results from 30-1, but picking the balls from 1-30. Can't be fixed that way.

"Bob, will you be accepting a 24% rollback on your salary as well?"
I couldn't believe that one when I heard it.
Why not? From what he said, it sounds like they will be drawing the balls behind closed doors with him, Daly and some accountants present. Why can't it be fixed?DJAnimosity said:

if your logic is that it is fixed because it's behind closed doors, then the #1 pick has been fixed every year since they started the lottery!
p.l.f.

So, did he answer?
Since the pessimists can no longer predict the players voting down the new CBA let me be the first to say.
I bet the owners will vote this down tomorrow.
Just kidding.

Just kidding.
That is why the accountants are there - to certify the results, just as is done in real lotteries.nyr7andcounting said:
Don't be so intentionally dense.
First of all this is clearly a different situation. Not every team has had a chance at winning the lottery since they started, it's usually like 12 teams. And out of those 12 only the top 3 or 4 have any kind of real chance. There would be no chance they could fix it beacuse it's obvious that 1 of 3 or 4 teams will win. Not the case now.crossxcheck said:
Anyway, I never said it's going to be fixed, but the post I was replying to made no sense. How does the fact that they are picking the balls behind close doors and announcing it 30-1 mean that it can't be fixed?

Ugh I missed it. My girlfriend was blabbing on the phone while I was trying to watch it. Grrr....
I'm not saying it's fixed. The guy said "They will be ANNOUNCING the results from 30-1, but picking the balls from 1-30. Can't be fixed that way."....just because they are announcing in a certain order doesn't mean it can't be fixed. So I'll ask again, what does the order they announce the results in have to do with wether or not it can be fixed?gscarpenter2002 said:
And btw, if you think they would have trouble fixing it because there are a couple of accountants in the room, who probably work for the NHL anyway, than your crazy. It's definetly possible, and I don't see how announcing the order 30-1 or picking 1-30 make it impossible
