Sigh. Well that was unfortunate.
After 60 minutes of Damien Cox, the draft lottery finally got underway in Toronto. Things fell in favour of the host city, with the Maple Leafs winning the 1st overall pick after a season designed, and surgically executed to complete that exact task. The result of the second and third lotteries, for those numbered picks respectively, is where a sour taste sets into the mouths of Flames fans.
Coming into the last game of the season against the Minnesota Wild, the Calgary Flames could've finished 4th, 5th or 6th last. They ended up beating the Minnesota Wild thanks to Brandon Bollig - because of course - and a fluke goal from Patrick Sieloff, and overtook the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Winnipeg Jets leaving them at 6th last.
