I think a lot of NHL clubs mishandled the Knights draft. It had been quite a few years since an expansion draft and they thought they were taking advantage of an expansion club while the Knights GM quietly traded for quality when people thought he'd go quantity.
I don't see it happening again.

Speaking of your beautiful wife, how's she doing? (sidebar, not meant to hijack). You can answer via PM if you prefer, or not at all.



It’s good. At the last visit her oncologist told us it’s not coming back. With that type of cancer, the major factors affecting survival rate are the stage and the effectiveness of the surgery. She was stage 2b, and the tumor had well defined edges. She has some problems from the complications she went through, but overall she’s doing well. Thanks for asking!

It doesn't matter in Seattle's case. There's 2 other major pro franchises that will make money with them. And they can have the hockey team still win alot of home games to keep fans fat,dumb and happy.
Vegas was no mistake. Nhl knew exactly what it was doing and carried it out accordingly.

Small market Pelicans win the NBA's Zion lottery
If this was fixed, NY or Chicago would have won

There will be some conspiracy theorists who say it’s rigged with the Pelicans winning as a gift for Anthony Davis trade demands, they get another star to replace him. And Lakers move up to 4th with a less than 10 percent chance of doing so, giving them a trade chip for Davis when no combination of players on their roster+the 11th pick/future picks they were slotted for would have gotten it done over the packages the Clippers or Celtics could offer. If you want to believe a conspiracy theory, you will be able to find a reason for it. I am happy to see New Orleans and Memphis get some good variance here. Three of the four teams drawn moved up at least six slots, tough draw for Phoenix and Chicago.

What else is new. Im a bulls fan and im cursed. You think anything i do or support will ever have normal luck or even good variance? Of course not. This was perfecy fitting. More negative variance for me. Even when we lucked out with rose with like a 1.6% chance he ends up tearing his knee apart hahahah. God im so cursed at everything. Still cant be stopped.

Also gotta love how the lottery is done in the backroom and every participant inside that room cannot have any recording devices and all phones and what not are taken before entering the room LOL. You just cant make it up how rigged this lottery is. Professional sports are nothing but 'entertainment'. WWE in disguise and all these idiot fans supporting their teams. The script has already been written.
Any private business open to the PUBLIC (ie. droned out casinos) cannot have a criminal trespass enforced against an individual without GOOD CAUSE (Disruptive or Disorderly conduct). You will never go to prison for being thrown out of a casino for legal advantage play and then returning because it's simply unconstitutional 'as applied' to the individual. 'As applied' constitutional issues must FIRST be raised in DISTRICT COURT (trial court) to have it thrown out. You CANNOT raise it on APPEAL This is the best kept secret in the world of casinos not just in Vegas but everywhere in the country. Thank me later.

lol. I was going go to say no way bulls win since ZK is a fan but decided to go easy on him instead. The fact that you were born in the US and not in poverty or severely handicapped is positive variance in and of itself.

We know he wasn’t born into poverty, so he was born right at expectation. :-)

Sure he got to watch MJ , but he missed out on the Nate Thurman era. Life is so unfair.

Anyways, ZK;
Welcome back. Try to stick around awhile.

Michael Jordan is considered one of The Greatest Of All Time Basketball Players. I think only MAYBE Lebron James has surpassed/matched him.

I'm an Islanders fan. Few NHL players were even born when they won their last cup. At least we had four straight parades. Very few fans get to do that.

That may be a little unfair considering Terp posted that before the Raptors made the finals.

Gulp.... you expect me to look at a date before posting..... ?? If I was the Wizard I’d do a bunch of push ups. Since I can’t i’ll try and make it up to Ed next time we golf. I’ll buy the beers.
