In case, you did not get off the course in time to watch, you did not miss much.  I found the format anticlimactic and dry.  I was expecting to see some spinning, tumbling lottery balls getting spit out of the machine.

This is getting ridiculous with the Oilers winning the lottery 4 times in the past 6 years, and still be a perennial cellar-dweller:

2010 1st pick - Taylor Hall

2011 1st pick - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins

2012 1st pick - Nail Yakupov

2013 7th pick - Darnell Nurse

2014 3rd pick - Leon Draisaitl

2015 1st pick - Conner McDavid  (predicted pick, and very likely)

It's Connor, and yeah, the format was terrible.

The Edmonton Oilers are also in a legal battle with the owner of the Erie Otters. Connor loves (not romantically, duh) the owner of the Otters. That will be interesting…

You have your facts wrong: http://www2.tsn.ca/draftcentre/feature/?id=18342

The Edmonton Oilers have their 4th 1st overall pick in the past 6 years, but they did not win the lottery 4 times. They won it 3 times :smartass: . Up until 2013, the lottery winner could only move up 4 spots, so Edmonton retained the 1st overall pick in 2011 when NJ won the lottery.

But yea, they're a poorly managed team and horrible at developing young talent. I feel bad for the kid.

    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
