The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It hurt feelings over on sabrespace, so I'll just state this one very quickly. Previous lottery results have zero impact on future lottery results. HOW 'BOUT SHUT UP!?!? Unless you're implying that there's a good chance, in which case, carry on.

KD in CA Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 First, we need to finish last You didn't think they'd just go ahead and do that without adding a bit more angst to the process, did you? I'm tempted to put some money on them for game #81 just because it's Buffalo and they'll make us sweat it out till the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It hurt feelings over on sabrespace, so I'll just state this one very quickly. Previous lottery results have zero impact on future lottery results.Wrong. Past results multiply the probability of picking first this year (or in subsequent years) by a factor of 1.0.

Alaska Darin Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I was hoping for a "thank you Sabres" chant. It would have been hilarious. "Tank you Sabres!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet on Friday (Sabres) and Saturday (Sabres and Sharks), and happily lost. I figured I didn't need to anymore.............I think I jinxed it by stopping. It helped a little in the anxiety department. "At least I'll win money" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) So, we are 10 hours away from the start off either a great weekend of celebration or 48 hours of absolute torture. In a perfect world, Arizona wins tonight and we clinch. In that case, I will take Pit, Ottawa and Boston winning out, and the Isle losing to Columbus last day of season. That gives Sabres two shots at lottery, and takes Pitt and Boston out of lottery to certain first round losses. Yes, in this scenario I would not root for Sabres to lose Saturday, but I would not be upset either if they lose. But I don't think Yotes stand a chance tonight, so it will all be focused on tomorrow night in Columbus. Edited April 9, 2015 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh is out of the lottery regardless, they traded their first round pick to Edmonton for David Perron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricojes Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Pittsburgh is out of the lottery regardless, they traded their first round pick to Edmonton for David Perron Which is a reason to root for Pitt to make the playoffs, we don't need Edmonton having more chances in the lottery...

And it Pittsburgh, Boston, Ottawait will make it, the Islanders don't. And we have the Islanders pick, another one in the lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricojes Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) The lottery drawing will be announced on the 18th, a video of the process will be made available after the fact... Hopefully the results are in before 8pm, I will be at the FNC for the Hip concert....It would be cool if they showed it on the jumbo tron pre-concert... http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/nhl-will-make-video-of-draft-lottery-available-for-first-time-ever/ Edited April 9, 2015 by ricojes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait for the show where they announce the results instead. If they can still get people to watch NFL network for day three of the draft, there's a TV exec who can make this work somehow.
