They then draw #2 behind the scenes by pulling 4 balls and assuming they didn't pull another TOR combination (which would force a redraw) then that draw was WPG
They tend draw #3 behind the scenes by pulling 4 balls and assuming they didn't pull another TOR or WPG combination (which would force a redraw) then that draw was CBJ
They then put the cards in order and move to the TV set where they reveal the cards in reverse order.
So you didn't actually see the draft lottery take place, that behind the scenes video will be released soon I would imagine. Here's the video for last year if you're curious, only change was that they had to do the draw 3 times.

Just an aside, they had video of the process and the draws from saturday on during the intermission of the blues-stars game yesterday.
