This is an interesting line of thinking. Mik provided evidence that counters your claim, but it only entrenches your belief in the conspiracy. It's like bringing up fossils to a creationist ("God put those there to test our faith").
All he said was that he thinks he recalls the Rangers being the favourites or something along those lines. Hardly evidence for or against.

Anyways, Whether it was or wasn't rigged doesn't bother me too much. I find it funnier how everyone just dismisses it like there is no chance it happened.
I didn't pretend to provide evidence either... even if there was I wouldn't feel like spending time looking for it when I remember it well enough for myself.

Rangers were only one of the many teams brought up by the conspiracy theorists, but the one that had more support iirc. Leafs were among others.

I still remember that lottery, when there were only 2 teams left I thought: there you go.. so much for all the conspiracy theories (none that I knew of were about Pens or Ducks).
Little I knew... more than 10 yrs later and they seem more alive than ever. Actually, the more time passes by, the less people remember what happened, the more people feel like those theories have legs.
When it ended up being Pittsburgh I simply thought.. that franchise is so lucky, they just got Malkin the year before.. somehow instead those that predicted a rigged lottery but never thought of the Penguins started to put the Penguins in their 'rigged theory'.

btw, I'm certainly not one of those always against the conspiracy theories, when there are evidencies that point in that direction... (I've seen more than enough Italian soccer growing up). And what happened with McDavid was only the last confirmation about how the NHL lottery seems to work..:lol:
by case (and teams' luck.. funny how the two teams that had Wayne & Mario got Connor & Sid)

Nor I am someone pro-NHL... I hope they get destroyed in the concussion lawsuit cause it's what they deserve.
ummmm the Pens are definitely favorites among conspiracy theorists lol! They are the easy choice. Storied franchise that housed Mario Lemieux goes bankrupt and folds?
fixed.

No Kessel is a joke. That team is such a prototypical Burke roster.

Hall, Letang, Subban, there are definitely arguments one way or the other for those types of players. That US roster is a joke to have Kessel left off.

The conference finals were very uneventful.

Lake Erie swept Ontario. Sounds like a Great Lakes battle.

I get ya. Don't want to hear this from a Wings fan but enjoy being in this spot. This is why we're fans.

Thornton is a guy I'd hitch my wagons to right now. Pavelski has been great as well. You're facing Matt Murray, not Dominik Hasek or Patrick Roy. You're almost there...
