still think it's crazy? football games in itally being played behind closed doors. No fans.
I'm telling you, at the current rate, playoffs might not happen or in a empty arena. Japan looking at closing the Olympics.
Do you really think the draft isn't rigged? As long as they use those cards instead of a hopper......it's rigged. I don't believe the results. Largest TV market got top 2 picks last year because of the $$$.
Couldn't keep having losers there.
As for the man games. It depends who you lose. Yeah 300 man games of 4th liner who cares right? 300 man games 1C and 1D you going to have some real problems. That's why CBJ is so bad now. No Seth Jones.
I think hockey is an offensive game. But if you can't get the puck out of your zone...no offense.
Where in Hungary are you? I fly over Hungary all the time when going to Greece. My company gives me 3 apartments in europe to work.
London, Warsaw and athens.

Oh yeah cancelling lots of sports events it's a possiblity. I just think currently is a little overblown by media.
It's not like if you get infected by the virus, you instantly die... last time i heard surviving rate is 95%. So if you are a healthy person(not old/not too young/not pregnant/don't have bad health problems). Then if u get the virus, it's like a bad flu/common cold, maybe little worse, but not life threatening, if u have insurance/u get treatment...
1-3 weeks u feel bad, fever, coughing etc,,, lung problems... then you are fine...
I heard the worst thing is, if you get lung-inflammation... but that's already bad in general... so you need to get treatment for that...
Ofc when u have heart problems already/smoking 1 pack/day/alcohol problems(liver)/blood pressure problems etc.. or taking 10 medicine/day because of bad overall health--> then it's really bad ,like any other disease... but for those people, they should stay home when things get out of control...
You know the people with huge risk factor = can't take any risks, but normal/healthy people should be fine... I think for now the panic is bigger, then the actual threat. But it can get a lot worse i don't deny it...
Fingers crossed it won't be that bad.
Whe we had bird flu, same panic happend... The way i see it. Humanity will live... yeah the olympics might canceled, but that's the biggest event in the world. Smaller events so far are safe imo for now.
School closing/other things are certainly a possibility though. But scientist can invent a new medicine, then probably the problem will be less in couple of months. Fingers crossed a medicine will be available soon'ish. If not, yes things might worse. Fortunately, i'm taking immune strengthening medicine in last 2 months, so if i get the virus, i hope i'll be fine. I usually suffer from flu or other things... i hate being sick... but maybe this cure i'm on will help a little...

I live in small city in Cegled.(not too far from Budapest).
As far as lottery goes, yeah that's math again, I'm following last years the lottery balls procedures and i know it inside out.
It's perfectly random. It's a good system.
It's like they have 1000 numbers. 1-1000.
185 random numbers assigned to Detroit in this 1-1000 range.(18.5% comes out this way)
150 numbers assigned to 2nd place team(15%)
125 to 3rd...(12.5%)
rest of teams less and less...
So they do it 1 by 1 number at the time of the drawing... with air pressure drawing the balls out from a bowl.(like a real lottery, where the stake is 10 million $+)
So the numbers are already assigned to team before the lottery.
So whatever actually happening is already determined on a paper/pdf file.
There is a pdf file each year, where you can look up what number means each team. Like Tampa made the playoffs. They get 0 numbers from the 1000. Odds tampa wins = 0%
0-1000: all numbers belong to only 16 teams
So lets say illustrate it with random numbers for Chicago. They had super low % last year to get Nr. 3 overall.
They had a number like 870 + like 30 other numbers only. = low odds % . They are praying that 8 -7 - 0 gets drawn... fast forward to the lottery machine drawing the balls...
The 3rd draw happend. (1st + 2nd won by NJD+NYR)
Number is:
8
7
0
gets 3rd overall, simple as that.
If it would've been rigged: You need to rig the air pressure in the lottery machine... you can see the balls in the videos fighting for the spot to win. It's on the youtube/nhl.com site...
In this case:
Ball Nr. 8 won the first fight
Ball nr. 7 won the 2nd fight
Ball nr. 0 won the last fight
If the last number Ball Nr. 1 wins hyptetically, it's a good chance number 871 belongs to another team = Chicago doesnt get to pick nr 3 overall ---> like minnesota gets to pick Nr 3...
These are just random example to illustrate how it works...
Let's say hypotetically a team like Ottawa has a number for 399 for this year's lottery.
Besides the countless of other numbers they have ( because they will finish bottom 5 in the standings most likely)
If the number 3 - 9 - 9 will be drawn.
get's the 1st overall pick.
The numbers assigned it's also random so it's not like 0-200 = detroit. Detroit has numbers like 111 - 152 - 398- 400 - 777 etc.. so they might have 398 and 400 but the number is 399 so they just got unlucky and they lose the 1st overall pick.
I hope i explained it good.
if not, look up on internet some articles
It's as tranparent as it gets... like a lottery drawn in your country... the lucky person wins... in this case... the luckiest team wins haha
Unless you can solve random air pressure, it's impossible to get rigged. So far air pressure = random.
0-9 balls. 1 wins each round. Every ball has 10% chance to win each round. = impossible to predict.
That's why you have 1000 numbers so u can assign 185 numbers to the worst team in the league. So detroit will have exactly 18.5% chance of drawing their number
185/1000 = 0.185 chance * 100 = 18.5% to win the lottery, simple as that.
In my opinion it should be changed to more %, so like 30%. I feel 18.5% is too low.
So Detroit will probably get f*ked by the lottery this year...
Ottawa has multiple lottery 1st round picks = ottawa = can be insane winners
I just simulated one on tankathon.com:
You see it's not rigged
Ottawa can win it, because SJ was insane to give up their 1st for Karlsson.This draft will be super fun, whoever wins
I just hope
get Lafreniere, so Atlantic becomes stronger = tampa will have more competetion future years. 4 games / year vs detroit = not that much fun when they are tanking...
Fun fact
lost 5 games in a row vs detroit last year + this year... they just won only the 6th
So last 6 games Boston vs Detroit: 1-5 LUL
This is the Boston team, which we should beat in 2nd round in the playoffs, if we get past Toronto
You said they will wreck us. I have my doubts.
Without Stamkos they have better chance. We'll see if Stamkos will be back by then, or not... it's like 3% worse for us without Stamkos in any matchup... Stamkos still good, even though he usually chokes in the playoffs
Latest odds: 73% that TBL-Tor playoffs 1st round happening... It's gonna be fun, i hope we don't lose LUL
Nr. 1 offense vs Nr. 2 offense That's gonna be lot of goals... hahahaa...
Newest playoffs predictions East:
Tampa-Boston--> Tampa(4-3)
Philly-NYI-->NYI (2-4) - based on this years matchup results, philly is in trouble
vs
conference finals
Matchup: 1wins-2losses this year, but i think we can beat them in a 7 game series. With the help of Goodrow/Coleman(+maybe Stamkos back by then) vs Pageau.
Eastern Conference Champions:
St. Louis i think will get an upset by some lower ranked teams and Vegas makes it to the finals/other suprise team...(maybe Edmonton, but they don't have a good goalie so i have no idea)
Vs
i think we still lose. Vs other teams we can win though
If St. Louis makes it 2 years in a row(unlikely)= we are 0-4 sweeped for sure ------>"The Nightmare"
BTW.:
What happend with your . I have similar feelings to last year, where i can't see the fire in your team.
Is it fatigue/bad trades(Marleau too old+Kahun looks good in Buffalo)/injuries catched up?
I expect your team go out 1st round now... i know... u don't like to hear it.... but you guys are losing to every single team right now, where i expect Pens to win... Losing to San jose lottery team to 5:0
Seriously? like WTF? San Jose has injuries like Karlsson as welll... how that happend? losing 5-4 is ok, but 5-0?
I totally predicted a 4-2 Pittsburgh win even at away... this parity in the league jesus...
Can you guys win today finally? Your opponent =
= super easy?
Metro is hard, so maybe it's time to win a couple?
TBL just won vs Calgary = playoff team, next up is Boston = top1 team in the league.
I think we lose today haha, Boston has better form, then us.
I don't think we win this one, even though this matchup is good for us... Last 12 games : 10-2 for us... So either 11-1 or 10-3. We'll see, i expect the 10-3 :/
Sometimes Boston should win 1 or 2 games vs tampa haha.
Boston now is a lock for president's trophy = curse
But we have so much points... and Florida is 1 million miles away in playoffs race... so worst case it's 3rd in atlantic... for us losing = not that bad , but for your team? You also lost to Buffalo at home 5:2, how in the world that happend?
