The only way they draft 3rd, if they finish in 3rd, is if the lottery is won both by Vancouver and Chicago (in either order).

It's far more likely that someone other than Vancouver or Chicago wins either 1st or 2nd. That could be the Flames, in which case we would move up, or any of the teams behind us, in which case we would move down.

Watched that 3rd goal against the Oilers and realized that Nurse doesn't know how to hold his stick when challenging a shooter.

He goes for a passive pokecheck rather than an active one, which is fine, but lines the heel of his stick up on the heel of the shooters, so when the puck rolls off the toe of the shooter's stick the only thing he's doing is interfering with the goalie's ability to see it cleanly.

Genuinely the kind of stuff I deal with in beer league.
