Why do they make this so dramatic, sounds like they are about to choose who gets kicked out of the nhl

2:00 WHEN YOUR JOB IS TO NOT DROP THE BALL EARLY

Panarin just did a leg kick

literally dropped the ball lmao

Mr. Commissioner, can you confirm this is the logo of the Edmonton Oilers?" "No, Karen, this is the logo of the Orlando Solar Bears"

guy started trembling when he picked up that rangers ball

Magnet was so strong in Rangers ball he dropped it lmao 😆

Every time Bettman spoke, they needed to have a pre-recorded "BOOOOOOOOOOO" playing. Like a laugh-track, but this would be a boo-track. Hearing him speak without the booing is sad.

Oh my god, so dumb! Yes, all the logos are correct, duh.

Brian Burke is so correct - having a team from the play-in round getting the first overall pick in the NHL draft is absolutely ridiculous!

At least it’s not Pittsburgh, Edmonton or Toronto. It’s also amazing that they finally did draw live.

You're not the only one who keeps coming back to this video. Don't worry

notice how he dropped the rangers ball early..... was it weighted differently???? IS THIS THING RIGGED GARY!!!!

"Mr. Commissioner can you confirm if it is the correct logo." YOU DON'T NEED TO CONFIRM THE LOGO, EVERYONE WHO'S WATCHUNG CAN SEE THE LOGO ON THE DAMN BALL!!!!

2:03 its the 1985 NBA Lottery all over again

To stop the drama with ppl saying the ball was lighter, the NHL should weigh each ball prior to dropping them

So nervous rigging the lottery that the ball slipped right out of his hand

It's so funny that people are saying its rigged cuz he dropped the Rangers ball. Do they not realize that if he dropped the Rangers ball and then the Rangers ended up NOT winning the lottery, those same people would use the same argument and say "it's rigged! He dropped the Rangers ball and it screwed it up so that the Rangers ball was damaged and couldn't have gotten the 1st pick" These people just go into it saying "The draft lottery is rigged" and then use whatever evidence they can to try and prove their argument. Also, i know most of the people are just joking and making fun of the people who think it's rigged, but there's still a concerning amount of dumbasses

Should’ve been Ottawa or Detroit 🤦🏻‍♂️

good for New York lol exciting for overall hockey and NHL success in the US for New York to be an exciting great team

I remember watching this!! I seen the rangers logo soon as the camera zoomed in I was so souped!!!

The Rangers ball couln't wait to get in there! LET'S GO RANGERS!

He totally looked and then hit the button when that one ball was in.

Wow, the top 2 picks in 2020 played each other in the 2014 final. This league really does shift on a dime.

Just coming back for all the glorious salt 🤣

Finally the wait is over!! 1965 was the last time we had an overall 1st round pick.

Too much BLAH BLAH BLAH.....just drop them and spin!

look at his sleeves hes a magician

Reminds me of a magic reveal show. Now tell us how ya'll did it!!!

Well. Marc Andre is a Stanley cup champ. This kid can make a great asset for the team. Good luck next season.

@1:23 Dubas looks like he is sitting in a bedroom inside his parent's house.

We gonna ignore the fact buddy dropped that NYR ball in the tube by accident? LOL

**balls rolling** KZfaq CC: [Applause]

When he dropped the n.y. rangers ball... Oops. When he later finds out that N.Y. won. Everyone that is not N.Y. fan: JOHN WICK WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION

Make my day. Go Rangers!!!

2:04 his fkn reaction ko'd me 😂

They rangers ball bounced a bit different. But of course leagues never rig these things to make sure big name players go to big markets

You guys literally just watched it for the first time ever live. It just happened. If the ball was weighted wouldn’t it be the last one that gets sucked up? So confused by you all 😂

Huh...the color of that room and logo looks a little familiar to a..certain team 👀

In the description you guys wrote 202 NHL Draft Lottery. Pointing out that mistake so I can get noticed. :)

This video gonna get studied over and over. This is Bettman's ode to David Stern when he did the New York Knicks frozen envelope 😁

I came to relive the magic.

LOVE it BABY !!!!

A little weird for a few reasons. Last year the rangers had a 6% chance of picking 2nd and they win the lottery. This year they have a 12.5% chance and win the lottery. The ball dropping early sounded different (heavier?) it’s the biggest market in a league where there is big financial issues. With the rangers biggest star Lundqvist retiring after next year this was very very convenient. What are the odds of winning two lotteries in a row??

Lafreniere is probably so happy he doesnt have to play for the red wings or the sens lol

Just happy it wasn’t the maple queefs

I’m so excited

You think maybe the whole confirmation of the logos was done as a courtesy to people who are blind/vision impaired and or for folks listening on the Radio? 🤔

I love how this comment section is civilized, and then you go to the NHL's post and see all of the 9 year old kids whose team rivals the Rangers screaming "RIGGED!!! RIGGED RANGERS SUCK REEEE"

What's with the logo confirmation? Don't understand the relevance of it.

This doesn’t seems all that random. Even if it’s legit it’s still not exactly secure.

magnet in the rangers ball made it to heavy for him to hold, which is why he dropped it.

I wonder which balls were weighted the most. Saw a slo-mo version and the Leafs ball was right in the shoot ready to be sucked up then it simply fell. The Rangers ball got sucked in like it was lighter than air. Not saying the Leafs deserved the #1 draft choice but I suspect the league had their choices of who they didn't want to win and adjusted accordingly.

"Rigged" is currently trending on Twitter

LETS GO RANGERS LETS GO HERE BOYS

an episode of NHL version of ninja warriors would have been much more entertaining than this

Why do they have to confirm the logo with the commissioner? Is this normal for past lottery drafts?

The fix is in, he dropped the winning ball

I’m crying 😭 Welcome to New York Laffy!

How ironic is it that moslty everyone on social media is thinking that the lottery was rigged and that the Rangers ball looked heavier and that the only ball he dropped by accident was the Rangers ball? Anyone agree

Congrats Rangers!

Confirmation of the teams on the balls LMFAO what?!

Thank god for the wild

Now that it’s finally over, fix the lottery for next season...Listen to Burke.

GO RANGERS GO!!

Damn you gotta have balls after dropping that ball.

lol the Minnesota ball blasted the Leafs ball out of the chute

Omg the amount of people thinking that this lottery was rigged is laughable 😂. If you actually believe that this was rigged, then take a closer look at the lottery balls in the machine he would've been a LEAF if it wasn't for a last millisecond bump by the Wild and if the ball was heavier then the Rangers' ball wouldn't have flown up as high as it did so stop complaining we're lucky that Toronto didn't win just search on Twitter there are tons of clips there lol

Bro just have *Mr. Commissioner* confirm the logo and drop it in.

Damn dissing the Oilers

Im glad betteman was there to confirm

Lets' go Rangers!!

C'mon guys, reading all the conspiracy comments makes me sick. If the ball wad weighted it wouldn't float... Actually the truth is that the Rangers ball was just a little bit smaller than all the other ones, allowing it to go through the pipe while all the other ones couldn't pass!

Can’t let the big market team be bad for more than two years. Also who have the top two picks..... (LA and NY) two biggest market teams....coincidence..... I think not

I still feel the No 1 pick should have gone to one of the forgotten 7 teams that had the misfortune to be bad during a pandemic. That said, it’s a win for the NHL that a major talent will be going to an original six franchise in a large American market. The Rangers are cool again. Of course who knows when Alexis will actually play a game in the Big Apple but that’s another question.

Confirm the logo? Lol ok whatever. Good for the rangers, at least it’s not the pens of oilers

if you read 2019 foreverblueshirt article about draft. it says half way thru article that the machine operator is to be facing the other way. lmao he stares right at it! nullifying any legality. freudian slip?

Yes

Panarin will be feeding him with the pucks

considering the possibilities, this is probably the best outcome we could hope for. congrats, ranger fans!

Now that I see hoe they do the lottery it's not so bad. But how does it work with all 31 teams? And what about teams having different %'s of winning it?

LETS GO!!

Who else found the NHL official hard to take with a remote control that looked like it was for a toy airplane or car in his hands?

Hopefully the Rangers won't "drop the ball" with their first draft pick. :P

Here after game 3 vs Florida

I don't get it... Detroit won 17 games all year and don't get a chance at the 1st overall pick

2020 has struck again.

Wouldn’t it have been funny if Bettman noticed the smallest thing off about one of the logos and didn’t let this happen...

This is the CSI of the NHL

damn, their future is looking good.

“can you confirm this is the logo?” ...... come on now he owns the NHL what’s the point of that 😂

YES!!!!!!

in my simulator holtz and raymond r top picks for me

Were any of the ping-pong balls deflated?

Rangers ball was a little chilly en?

lets go rangers finally real pick

yes

Wow that was 4 minutes 20 seconds too long.

GOTTA SEE IT: Because the Leafs' pick was only protected if they were top-10, they now lose that pick to Carolina (who will likely now send their own 1st-rounder to the Rangers).

The guy pushing the button should not have been paying so close attention when pushing the button!! Is he from NHL H/O in NYC???
