The draft lottery is rigged, the sens and deadwings get screwed over

 I liked the draft lottery when it first started, but over the past decade, it's become an absolute joke. IMO, they should go back to having the draft positions based on end-of-season points percentage.

The Toronto Maple Leafs, the team that lost to their own Zamboni driver this season, lost their play-in series to Columbus sunday evening.

The western host Edmonton oilers also lost to the faded dynasty Blackhawks earlier last week.

The Hockey Gods restore order somewhat to the hockey universe by allowing the Rangers to select top prospect Alexis Lafreniere at the end of today's draft lottery.

Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask announced he's opting out of the rest of the postseason, citing family reasons, just hours before he was to start game 3 of their first round series against the Hurricanes.

Also, Bruins television play-by-play announcer Jack Edwards is taking a LOT of heat on Twitter after he posted this tweet:

What NBC hasn’t shown yet, regarding the unfortunate injury to Svechnikov: the Carolina wing playing hobby-horse, riding Chara on the back apron of the goal. You poke the bear, you take your chances. No one wanted to see Svechnikov hurt, but he bit off more than he could chew.

Canucks brick wall Thatcher Demko posts a franchise record 48 playoff shutouts as Vancouver forces a game 7 after being down 3-1 in the series.

I think what you meant to say was "a franchise playoff record 48-save shutout."

Capitals forward Tom Wilson has been suspended for 7 games for his hit from behind on Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo. Because of the pandemic, each team is only playing 56 games. If you were to equate this to a normal 82-game regular season, this suspension would equal 10 games.

Oilers forward Kailer Yamamoto has been fined just under $3900 for his dangerous trip on Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson.

Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook announced his retirement after 15 seasons in the NHL.
