There were 14 balls. They came up in this order

5
13
4
9
9
8
10
6

So that nukes the heavy ball theory. A heavy ball would have produced 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5.


What??? Yeah, that's not how it works. Holding up a hostage newspaper was more evidenciary than that.

Not quite. The ball isn't put back into the hopper once drawn. A number can only come up once per draw so that they get a sequence of four different numbers and a possibility space of 1001 combinations. If they put the ball back there would be something like 1600 combinations

My point is that 7 different balls popped up. If there were heavier balls, they would be called more than once.

Its not rigged. End of story.

Riiiiiight, because only Blues fans are saying this! You caught me!

Oh... wait... that's not even remotely true.

And honestly, I'm not even thinking of the rivalry. I'm thinking of a scumbag owned and operated organization gets to take away from small market teams.


Maybe, just maybe, Blackhawks won the lottery because they had the third best odds🤯🤯

Dude.... who ever said that weights had to be placed into all the 5's? That's not how it works.

Agreed.
Clearly Bettman made 5 the heaviest ball, 13 the second heaviest ball and so on with the last ball 6 being the lightest of all drawn balls but still heavier than all un-drawn balls.

Bedard is the rightful property of Arizona smh...
Come to think of it, since the Arizona project basically is Bettman's baby how come it wasn't rigged for the Coyotes though?

I was using number 5 as an example.

Since I am such a dumb dumb, tell me how it was rigged....

How do I know how? I was not involved. And I never said it had to be weighted balls. I just said that's not how weighted balls work. And I didn't call you a dummy. Butif you want to pretend there's nothing suspicious about how they did this, I don't know what to tell you. The presentation was overtly bizarre, and the lottery system they use now is wildly convoluted to begin with. This thing sticks to high heaven.
