then it happens ...
selecting 10th is Arizona (what? wait? where is Ottawa? Then you realize they have one of the top three and the Flames have only 2 left to win. But the Oilers and Canucks are less likely too, the torn feelings!)
9th is Montreal (good Calgary isn't heading down 3 spots!)
8th is Buffalo (ditto!)
7th is Winnipeg (that's it, Calgary won one of the lotteries OMFG!)
Too much fun.

I have actually been looking forward to the lottery for this reason only. They can go right down to the bottom 2 teams left and announce the winner and it will be exciting for the fans of those respective franchises, and at least interesting to non-fans. Well, unless all 3 lottery picks are won by before the final 2 -3 spots anyways. I would probably tune-in to watch it even if Calgary was in the playoffs. I have watched one single lottery draw, and that was enough for me. This time, it would actually be interesting I think.
