Fire Gillis

Fire Gillis chant going on in the arena right now :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Selanne is one of the best snipers in the NHL history. Enjoy retirement, Finnish Flash!

As for the Canucks, play Markstrom and rest Lack.
Cannot wait to see what Aquaman decides to do with this pathetic team.

Pack your bags, Gillis!

Probably old news now (but I haven't watched a game or highights since Feb), but when did Lack get such ridiculously looking gear?

It would actually feel more satisfying if they just chanted "Aquilini sucks!"
Gillis could possibly just be the puppet

Check in here daily to see how the previous night's games have affected the race for the top pick in the 2014 NHL Draft.

The 2014 NHL Draft Lottery will take place live on TSN on Tuesday, April 15. The 2014 NHL Draft will take place June 27-28 in Philadelphia.

Can't wait! :joy:

Isn't there a stipulation that you can only move max 4 spots up? So currently, if the Canucks stay where they are, they can never win the first overall pick.

That's why we need to lose the rest of our games and have Calgary win all of theirs :concentrate:

I'd be thrilled if we got either one of Ekblad, Dal Colle, Reinhart, or Bennett

Knowing the Canucks, they'll probably be fucking stupid and go on a 4 game winning streak to end the season

The reality of no Canucks playoff hockey is starting to set in and makes me sick to think that next year this time we might be in the same situation and not make the playoffs.

Get use to that idea.

GMMG/Aquilini have no idea what this team wants/needs. This picture sums it up perfectly.

Nope, whoever wins the lottery gets first pick.

Thanks. It looks like it changed recently. Shows how much I cared about the lottery over the past 10 years lol

Quote:

The 2013 NHL Draft Lottery, to be held this year on Monday, April 29, will be the first in NHL history where all 14 clubs not qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, or the clubs that have acquired the first-round drafting positions of those non-playoff clubs, will have a chance at winning the right to the first overall selection. Under the previous lottery system, only the five teams with the fewest points in the standings had the opportunity to win the first overall selection as rules dictated no team could move up more than four spots.

The NHL Draft Lottery is a weighted system to determine the order of selection for the first 14 picks of the 2013 NHL Draft. Teams finishing with the fewest points during the regular season possess the greatest chance of winning the right to the first pick in the NHL Draft. Fourteen balls, numbered 1 to 14, are placed in a lottery machine. The machine expels four balls, forming a series of numbers. The four-digit series resulting from the expulsion of the balls is matched against a probability chart that divides the possible combinations among the 14 participating clubs.

While the top pick can now go to any of the 14 non-playoff clubs, or the team owning the rights to the first pick of a non-playoff club, the odds of winning the lottery are unchanged from previous years. The teams in the drawing are ranked in inverse order of their regular season point totals, with team one being the club with the fewest points, and team 14 being the club with the most points among those outside of the playoffs.

The likelihood of each team gaining the right to the first pick is as follows:

Team 1 25.0%

Team 2 18.8%

Team 3 14.2%

Team 4 10.7%

Team 5 8.1%

Team 6 6.2%

Team 7 4.7%

Team 8 3.6%

Team 9 2.7%

Team 10 2.1%

Team 11 1.5%

Team 12 1.1%

Team 13 0.8%

Team 14 0.5%

No club will move down more than one position as a result of the Draft Lottery. The remaining first round drafting positions are determined by the results of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Hearing whispers that perhaps change is coming sooner rather than later with the Canucks, perhaps as soon as today or tomorrow...
