So….hell of a weekend, eh?
1. I think if my young daughter could fully understand hockey and the rules of the draft, there would be some valuable life lessons from the weekend. First off, probability is a bitch and is defying the odds is a longshot. Right NJ, Philly and Dallas? 121 balls out of a 1000 is really crappy odds, but at least Edmonton got their 200 1st overall picks before they changed the rules so any non-playoff team could win the #1 pick. We all know Edmonton is the reason for the stupid lottery in the first place and know they have a chance to get to the Stanley Cup final because they also defied the odds and won the 1st pick when McDavid was available.
