Flames will probably win, and it will be hard to feel bad about winning. Genuinely happy for these guys playing right now.
I can only hope that Hockey Gods will reward us with a lottery win. It is going to be hard to end up in the bottom 3. You have to suck like the Flames have never sucked before in 30 + years. Oilers may end up losing all their games too, probably finishing worse than us, again.
We traded away our franchise player and our top defenseman. For that, we truly deserve a top 3 pick. Please Hockey Gods... I know I still owe you after Bruins Game 7 in 2011 and the obligatory riots etc...
Several times in lottery history, a team that was 7th or 8th in the lottery ended up getting picked, only to move up 4 spots.
