Yes,Kuz the anti-tank missile was ineligible for Calder due to age limit, 27 is too old by one year :gramps:
That's why I didn't make the jump from beer leagues to big leagues, what's the point if I can't have a shot at winning the Calder?

Did leafs fans and players say they preferred playing the Panthers instead of Bruins?

Leafs finally dodge a lightning bolt and slay the dragon , only to get pounced on and chewed by a pack of Panthers, state of Florida still a dangerous place for Maple Leafs.

Canucks 2023 draft lottery odds
11th overall: 79.9%
12th overall: 13.4%
2nd overall: 3.2%
1st overall: 3.0%
13th overall: 0.5%
3rd overall: 0.1%

2022 - Montreal hit 1st overall with the best odds - 18.5%. New Jersey moved up from 5th to 2nd.
2021 - Buffalo hit 1st overall with the best odds - 16.6%. Seattle moved up from 3rd to 2nd.
2020 - Placeholder team hit 2.5% chance at No. 1 overall and hit. NY Rangers won the 2nd drawing.
2019 - Chicago hit a 3.1% chance and moved from 12th to 3rd overall.
2018 - Carolina hit a 3.7% chance and moved from 11th to 2nd overall.
2017 - Flyers hit a 2.2% chance and moved from 13th to 2nd overall.
2016 - Winnipeg hit a 7.8% chance and moved from 6th to 2nd overall.

Fun fact. Only two times have the bottom 3 teams won the 1st overall pick in the last 7 years.

It sucks but let’s get real. Someone had to win, they had decent odds. People are so paranoid.

I just wish they would televise the ping pong balls being drawn , like they did when the draft lottery was first introduced, don't know when or why they removed that part. Now we learn that canucks were one digit away from winning. Didn't that happen once or twice before? Oh well,onto team tank 2024 and 2025. Macklin Celebrini, also from Vancouver for 2024 and Bedard's cousin for 2025. ;)

Yes a friend of mine said that exact same thing rigged, Chicago is a shell of themselves what a way to get the fan base back. Get them competing in afew years well we still suffer with team tank.
It's no wonder my interest in watching Knuckle games is waning as well.

Of course it's on tv, but just Bill Daly flipping cards with team names, they haven't shown the actual ping pong balls in a long time...where have you been?

Here's a recap of what went on behind the scenes with the drawing of the ping pong balls before going on air.

Oh the old 6/49 ping pong balls your correct skipper it's like some kind of Bettman secrect much like keeping the Yotes in Arizona playing in a 5000 seat garbage bin or not awarding Quecbec city a team :wtf: or returning to Atlanta after 3 failed attempts isn't that like getting back with your old girlfriend 3 times. :sick:
