    Now I’m mad we *didn’t* win that Buffalo game šŸ˜…

    But for real, Chicago getting Bedard is so gross for the league

  4. Logosmonkey

    I am sad. We will get a great player, but I am sad.

  5. austinD93

    You canā€™t convince me that wasnā€™t rigged

  8. bobboman

    Oh boy, a original 6 team got the #1 pick, how very crooked of the NHL

    Seriously a team that just lost both of its defining stars lucks into the #1 pick šŸ™„

  9. Timberrr15

    Whatā€™s a couple more years of rebuilding boys no reason to be sad we are getting a great player Iā€™m sure HAHAHAHAHAH IM LOSING MY MIND HELP ME PLEASE I HAVE TO TALK MYSELF INTO WILL SMITH BEING THE FUTURE HAHAHAHAHHA

  10. Killians_

    Great we got top three. Hard to stomach Chicago winning it and thinking the nhl didnā€™t rig it that way after constantly talking about it all predraft coverage.

  11. words_of_nerd

    Im so disgusted the worthless rape franchise gets rewarded just because they’re valuable

  12. gottapoop0822

    I’m fine with the pick, I’m not fine with a bunch of sexual abuse/assault covering up org being gifted the number 1 pick after purposefully being shit.

  13. Man_Bear_Pig08

    Rigged. Espn knew before it was announced

  15. KyloSolo723

    Unofficially announced the pick before a commercial. You canā€™t tell me this shit isnā€™t rigged.

  16. GreggoTheGeek

    I’m so glad we knew before we knew.

  18. onigiri_fresh

    Rigged for a big market per usual.

  19. whitefuton

    This is so fucking stupid. Of course it was announced by a prerecorded video.
    Conveniently right around the time Patrick Kaneā€™s career is gonna end

  22. ExpensiveJet

    ESPN couldnā€™t even get the fucking lottery right

  23. JickleBadickle

    Rigged as hell.

    Fuck the NHL and fuck me for getting my hopes up

  24. Soylentdobie

    I like how ESPN showed us losing and Chicago winning literally minutes before they announced it

  25. NeverDieKris

    Knew it from jump. There was zero chance the NHL was going to gamble with putting that kid anywhere but Chicago. The lottery is a joke. If it was real, theyā€™d do the bingo balls live on air.

  26. hnglmkrnglbrry

    If I’m Bedard’s parents I’m not exactly thrilled about his destination. Good news is we are still top 3 and Carlsson is a 6’3″ beast who’s already playing against men.

  28. ExpensiveJet

    THANK GOD WE TIED PHILLY THAT LAST WEEK WHO COULDA USED FANTILLI ANYWAY

  29. Elexeh

    My worst fear wouldā€™ve been us dropping to 4th.

    Chicago winning overall is trash, but at least weā€™ve got our franchise center on deck. Whether thatā€™s Carlsson or somehow Fantilli, the future is bright!

  30. onigiri_fresh

    Couldnā€™t even throw us a bone with the second pick lol

  31. JunesDepartmentStore

    Iā€™ve never said that the lottery was rigged

    After Columbus got leaked before the commercial break and Chicago won, Iā€™m starting to think otherwise

  34. kingofkitties8233

    Just said Columbus canā€™t catch a breakā€¦ ya bc shits rigged. Trying to ā€œsaveā€ Chicago.

  35. urbanoideisto

    I hope Bedard is Yakupov 2.0 now. Nothing personal against the kid, just his future piece of shit organization.

  36. foxmag86

    So was this not live or something? Why announce Columbus got third before anything happened.

    Either way, rigged as shit.

  37. SturmieCom

    Why do they not pick balls live? Answer: it’s tougher to rig that way.

  38. IamLiterallyAHuman

    As an Avs fan, I wanted to see Bedard in Columbus, this is absolutely shameful from the league

  39. Dkoop2003

    Fuck the hockey gods and fuck Garry Bettman

  40. Jilms

    How are they going to call us being 3rd pick before the card is even shown. Rigged Draft! This is some bullshit. [HERE IS THE CLIP](https://streamable.com/5n2ri7) to the slip up of them calling CBJ as 3rd overall

  41. Subject_Divide_1903

    Never been one to believe a lottery is rigged but holy hell that was clear as day.

  42. xBluJackets

    If the lottery draft isnā€™t rigged, why isnā€™t the ball draw live?

  43. AwesomeWill28

    I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever seen a more rigged draft lottery in my life šŸ¤¬

  44. 216614OHIO

    Bettman can take that card and shove up you-know-where. I’m done. Fuck this league.

  45. JonJonesCrackDealer

    Wings fan coming in peace. That shit was beyond rigged, the NHL was the last bastion for me, I don’t really feel like watching sports anymore. CBJ/ANA deserved 1 and 2

  46. rigill

    Rigged. League will keep us down with every chance they get. So obvious they want their favorites to win every year.

  47. mattwb2010

    “Columbus just isn’t a hockey city so we’re giving the pick to Chicago.”

  48. redditistreason

    It went exactly as expected. Fucking Blackhawks get handed the prize, and we end up fucking third AGAIN.

    Stop me if you’ve heard this one before! Hope we make the right pick and strike it big, but it’s a hard choice after two obvious ones, including yet another possibly generational talent, slips through our grasp. Fucking sucks, man. Every time. We get fucked every time.

    Fucking predator protectors get the prize, fuck off Gary.

  49. nateorz

    When the reward for a sexual abuse cover-up is Connor Bedard. My god, NHL.

  50. Pineconn

    I donā€™t know how anyone watches that and doesnā€™t think something is fishy. Like, come on now. Something is up.
