Absolutely bush league...


Someone just lost their job

And the Avs get hosed again. Not rigged at all, right?

Doesn't the NHL claim it's done behind closed doors? One man draws and another brings out the results and they are seen for the first time as we view them.

Proves this whole process is shady and could very well be rigged.

NHL was just caught lying!

Crazy

The draw was made earlier today, I'm sure the TV executives have known for hours now. Not sure why people are saying this means it's rigged.

Was this the satellite companies fault?

No do-overs!

NHL likely does the lottery right after the season ends. They spend the rest of the time dressing the reveal up. Nothing is done live in case of f*** ups. All of this was pre-recorded and likely everyone was signed to an NDA. Some member of the crew leaked it for the lulz.

Literally the thing that was most likely to happen happened

That isn't evidence of rigging

 

[Mickey Marner]

Lol NHL. Can't even conspire properly.

In B4 1k “rigged!!1” posts.

Someone at SN f***ed up and should be fired, though.

Sportsnet is a **** show

This is like a kid having their Christmas spoiled

 

[TMLeafer]

Isn't it done shortly in advance? There was video of it a few years ago.

 

[Hasbro]

LA LA Land won the lottery?!

Really? Fired?

Take a lap buddy

Mistakes happen. Saying someone should be fired for something as minor as revealing the top 3 picks 10 minutes early is absurd

I still highly doubt that the process was rigged. Isn't the whole draft lottery process overseen by Ernst & Young? That's a company with an annual revenue many orders of magnitude larger than the NHL. The league literally has nothing that they could offer them that would make it worthwhile for E&Y to put their reputation on the line.

kings got f***ed too. real bummer

 

[serp]

I mean its widely know that the actual lottery is done like an hour (?) before the show . So yes a production crew knows earlier and can leak the stuff. People will now be fired though .

 

[Frosty415]

lmao this is too funny and sad

Cutting off a pinky will suffice.

I thought it was just BS until I saw the Ranger pick, then I was suspicious to say the least. Not that im complaining

It was a coin flip to get a top 3 pick. Why is this surprising?
