May the hockey gods bless us
So you’re saying there is a chance
We’re fucking due some luck.
But my guess is the league does everything they can to put him in Chicago or Arizona
Only took 6 refreshes on tankathon to get 1oa.
Ol’ Gary Bettman, Claude, Sid, the refs, and the ghost of Stalin will find a way to ride us all the way down to pick #20 with Bedard going to the Pens at #19 for their second illicit reboot.
This is literally all I wanted after the trade deadline. Idc what the percentage is, I just want a chance.
May Gordie bless us 🙏
I never expect us to get it, but if this is the year we got it after all the bullshit luck in the past i will praise the hockey gods forever
All I want is a top 3, it doesn’t have to be 1oA (🤤), but some semblance of a consistent goal scorer that we desperately need.
I’d shit if we moved up to 1st
I feel like the Wings are the only team that, if we get Bedard, every other team will go “Oh *fuck*”
Honestly though, let’s just hope we can get near the top. Even if we get super lucky and move into #3, we’d be getting an impact player who could possibly get into the NHL right away and boost the lineup. Imagine if Kasper, Mazur, and one of the top forward prospects can all get in next year. It could potentially fix ALL of the offensive problems they have right now.
The wings have been screwed in the lottery enough times that maybe this is our year!
Wings win and move up to 1. Isles miss the playoffs and get the other draft lottery spot and move up to 6. We win the cup next year. (I’m not 100% sure about the draft rules so if this isn’t possible then sorry)
Well the wings got screwed out of #1 at 18.5% so hockey gods please hear my prayers
So, real talk. Is it possible the NHL actually rigs who gets to pick first, etc.?
Is that a real possibility or is that just being dramatic?
Bettman going to make sure he goes to Arizona or Ottawa id bet.
Well, good lord, the universe owes me something for witnessing that crap pile live, in person, tonight.
Guaranteed 6th overall again
Watch us pick first overall and Yzerman goes with someone not named Bedard.
First tankathon spin of the day got me Arizona 1st and Detroit second. I’ll take that all day baby
So you’re saying there’s a chance….
If we somehow win first or even second, I’ll look back at the game today and say “thank you for that ass kicking”
I don’t want to get my hopes up
Won’t happen don’t get excited
We will pick 14th
A.) Chicago gets their generational talent *immediately* replaced and goes right back to being the top market team the league has loved for the last decade.
**Or**
B.) Gary’s experiment in the desert gets their 1st 10A pick which just so happens to be the next coming of McDavid and all of a sudden that **2 Billion** dollar development with new arena, entertainment, and residential complex suddenly gets fast tracked.
Pick your poison, gonna go ahead and assume there won’t be any completely random one-off rule changes to absolutely shaft any bottom feeders this time around.
Shoulda been tanking a whole lot longer 🙁
