I watched this live as it happened. As a hardcore Islanders fan, I was in absolute disbelief at the Rangers winning this draft lottery. The Rangers had a record of 37-28-5 in the 2019-20 regular season and because of covid, they won an unprecedented draft lottery. They were playing so well right before the covid shutdown. The Rangers just signed Alexis Lafreniere to a seven year contract worth 52.15 million dollars (7.45 million a year). The only solace that I was able to take from seeing the Rangers winning this lottery was that the Islanders did not have a chance to win because they beat the Panthers in the qualifying round in the bubble playoffs. I would think that Devils fans were also in complete shock.

A little weird for a few reasons. Last year the rangers had a 6% chance of picking 2nd and they win the lottery. This year they have a 12.5% chance and win the lottery. The ball dropping early sounded different (heavier?) it’s the biggest market in a league where there is big financial issues. With the rangers biggest star Lundqvist retiring after next year this was very very convenient. What are the odds of winning two lotteries in a row??
I wonder which balls were weighted the most. Saw a slo-mo version and the Leafs ball was right in the shoot ready to be sucked up then it simply fell. The Rangers ball got sucked in like it was lighter than air. Not saying the Leafs deserved the #1 draft choice but I suspect the league had their choices of who they didn't want to win and adjusted accordingly.
Rigged! Bettman couldnt repeat his mistakes of the past that were letting McDavid and Matthews on Canadian teams! He needed an American team to get the top pick this time! Not surprising at all
Can’t let the big market team be bad for more than two years. Also who have the top two picks..... (LA and NY) two biggest market teams....coincidence..... I think not
Last time the Rangers picked 1st was 1965 and they've won 1 cup in the last 80 years...but yeah...keep complaining this is rigged just because the team you wanted to win it.. didn't lol
Second largest hockey market picking first overall at a time when the NHL is severely struggling financially and the team is in the middle of a rebuild? LOL gotta get them Lafreniere jersey sales to pass Matthews
I don't even count 1963-1968 for the draft because major junior was sponsored by NHL teams, and most good players were already signed to "C" contracts at the time. For draft history, I consider only 1969 and later.
Seriously! The pick goes to the team that didn’t win a single game! The pick should’ve went to the Wild, even though we all knew they were gonna lose against the Canucks. They won one game and battled hard. They should’ve got the pick.
I vote they make someone who can’t rig this to run this test. For instance have a starving African kid look at a bunch of images of nhl teams and have em just point to one
I still feel the No 1 pick should have gone to one of the forgotten 7 teams that had the misfortune to be bad during a pandemic. That said, it’s a win for the NHL that a major talent will be going to an original six franchise in a large American market. The Rangers are cool again. Of course who knows when Alexis will actually play a game in the Big Apple but that’s another question.
You forgot to say why: Lafrenière is a greater skilled talent sky high potential and French so more fans and drafted in populated NY market he's gonna get even bigger n better.
GOTTA SEE IT: Because the Leafs' pick was only protected if they were top-10, they now lose that pick to Carolina (who will likely now send their own 1st-rounder to the Rangers).
Why do they make this so dramatic, sounds like they are about to choose who gets kicked out of the nhl

@@glencoe73 Your entire argument is that it "Seems suspicious" that he fumbled a ball which wouldn't effect how it bounces around at all
@KingInTheNorth I don't know the EXACT method used as I'm not a magician...but either are you, fool.
A little weird for a few reasons. Last year the rangers had a 6% chance of picking 2nd and they win the lottery. This year they have a 12.5% chance and win the lottery. The ball dropping early sounded different (heavier?) it’s the biggest market in a league where there is big financial issues. With the rangers biggest star Lundqvist retiring after next year this was very very convenient. What are the odds of winning two lotteries in a row??
Rigged! He was totally peaking above his blindfold
A bunch of playoff teams in lottery for first pick.... Doesn't make any sense at all.
its a viewer grab because the NHL is in the decline since corona hit us.
No playoff teams were in the lottery that first round was a play in round to make the playoffs which start tonight
@@joeplaneta905 Not a playoff team yet in the stats page they earned playoff points. Its either one or the other and NHL stats show its the other.
Wouldn’t it have been funny if Bettman noticed the smallest thing off about one of the logos and didn’t let this happen...
I wonder which balls were weighted the most. Saw a slo-mo version and the Leafs ball was right in the shoot ready to be sucked up then it simply fell. The Rangers ball got sucked in like it was lighter than air. Not saying the Leafs deserved the #1 draft choice but I suspect the league had their choices of who they didn't want to win and adjusted accordingly.
Rigged! Bettman couldnt repeat his mistakes of the past that were letting McDavid and Matthews on Canadian teams! He needed an American team to get the top pick this time! Not surprising at all
This video gonna get studied over and over. This is Bettman's ode to David Stern when he did the New York Knicks frozen envelope 😁
Kevin Lee Because conspiracy theorists have nothing better to do.
Rangers ball was so heavy he dropped it
Because the heaviest ball is the one that will be blown by a fan to the top of the machine... nice logic bud
David Moyett stop creating troll accounts Gary, we know your tricks
XpertTrading you are stupid😂
Confirmation of the teams on the balls LMFAO what?!
Can’t let the big market team be bad for more than two years. Also who have the top two picks..... (LA and NY) two biggest market teams....coincidence..... I think not
Last time the Rangers picked 1st was 1965 and they've won 1 cup in the last 80 years...but yeah...keep complaining this is rigged just because the team you wanted to win it.. didn't lol
Second largest hockey market picking first overall at a time when the NHL is severely struggling financially and the team is in the middle of a rebuild? LOL gotta get them Lafreniere jersey sales to pass Matthews
I don't even count 1963-1968 for the draft because major junior was sponsored by NHL teams, and most good players were already signed to "C" contracts at the time. For draft history, I consider only 1969 and later.
@@aaronb6878 if you really think NY is the 2nd largest hockey market, then let me just say I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell to you
@@georgearrivals Ummm.....
It IS the 2nd largest market behind toronto and ahead of Montreal....
@@aaronb6878 The scary part is that NY and LA are the biggest untapped markets in the NHL
Im glad betteman was there to confirm
2:04 his fkn reaction ko'd me 😂
Even as a pens fan I was happy to see it going to a more deserving team than us the leafs or oilers
I came to relive the magic.
Seriously! The pick goes to the team that didn’t win a single game! The pick should’ve went to the Wild, even though we all knew they were gonna lose against the Canucks. They won one game and battled hard. They should’ve got the pick.
NoobGoalie SORE LOSER!!!!
Who says what team SHOULD get it?
Suck it rangers deserve it LGR!!!
Thats all the more reason why they got it, they're bad LMAO
That's not how a lottery works genius, there is no should have team. It's randomised you dolt.
I vote they make someone who can’t rig this to run this test. For instance have a starving African kid look at a bunch of images of nhl teams and have em just point to one
Here after game 3 vs Florida
Damn you gotta have balls after dropping that ball.
I still feel the No 1 pick should have gone to one of the forgotten 7 teams that had the misfortune to be bad during a pandemic. That said, it’s a win for the NHL that a major talent will be going to an original six franchise in a large American market. The Rangers are cool again. Of course who knows when Alexis will actually play a game in the Big Apple but that’s another question.
Damn dissing the Oilers
“can you confirm this is the logo?” ...... come on now he owns the NHL what’s the point of that 😂
NHL acting like they're LeBron James _The Decision_ just to confirm some balls
You forgot to say why: Lafrenière is a greater skilled talent sky high potential and French so more fans and drafted in populated NY market he's gonna get even bigger n better.
LETS GO RANGERS LETS GO HERE BOYS
I'm confused why didn't the 8 teams that weren't in the playoffs get a shot??
They did
GOTTA SEE IT: Because the Leafs' pick was only protected if they were top-10, they now lose that pick to Carolina (who will likely now send their own 1st-rounder to the Rangers).
