yep. like i said, ive accepted the inevitable. they wont be good, for a good while. i thank them for the good times, and now just am trying to find the perks that will come with being a bottom feeder.

i realize it sounds elitist, but (frank) the team being fashionable. at least in the days of travis lee and marlon anderson, you knew where things stood. i remember being a little kid and having entire sections of the vet to myself. now its just full of throngs of douche bag frat bros and stupid whores taking so many selfies you cant even enjoy the game. #letsgoPhillllz

You can't really do it that way. Next season, Flyers would be better off missing the playoffs by one spot than getting in.

I think the best way would be to give all non-playoff teams the same opportunity at the first 3 picks. Then slot the rest in order by record. If a team can't get better by having multiple years of top 5 and top 10 picks then you may need to find new management. This isn't the NBA. Teams don't need the first pick to get better.

I've brought this up before.

My idea would be to base the picks by point earned only after you've been officially eliminated from the playoffs. Worse off teams will have an advantage by have more opportunities for points.

That would work, but man would that be a fan's nightmare to calculate on a nightly basis.

I'd just give all non-playoff teams a random shot, and draw names from a hat for picks 1-14. Of course, miraculously, the worst (financially) team will somehow end up with #1, no matter what the odds/system are.

Is anybody else watching Vikings? I'm loving this second season, especially everything going on with the priest.

Living in Dallas, I have this debate at least 3 times / year, but mostly centers on Eagles and Phillies fans. They can't let Santa or Irvin issue go.

You'll excuse me if I laugh at being lectured to about behavior in public by any state south of the Mason Dixon line.

It may be a bit complex but the NHL could market it as another big ticket item. Have secondary standings that only include teams eliminated and their respective points earned after being so. Imagine the chaos that would be added to the end of the year. You could have one game where the winner makes it to the dance while another game could be a battle of two teams for Mcdavid.

The score would be 124-123, all goals scored on their own nets.

Yinz just don't understand the complexities of a meat sandwich you're expected to order in a very specific way very quickly (and if you don't, you're history's greatest villain or something).
