Cheating in the Connor Bedard lottery? Elliotte Friedman has just made a shocking revelation
Unfortunately, in relation to the 2023 National Hockey League lottery, and especially following the victory of the Chicago Blackhawks, there has been a lot of controversy.
Many have outright claimed that everything was rigged by the NHL.
On this subject, in the most recent episode of his 32 Thoughts podcast, renowned Elliotte Friedman, from Sportsnet, made a statement as shocking as it is astonishing:
"Friedman on the 32TP podcast says he was shocked to see how many people in the league that he considers intelligent thought the lottery was rigged.
He adds that it's understandable to hear this from fans who become emotional, but now, people from the league, teams and all believed that it was rigged."

This is big when you think about it! There are NHL executives, high-ranking people in the NHL, who really believed that this lottery was rigged. Wow!
We are talking about players and former executives among the league. Some general managers could be part of these people...
Friedman then adds that he does not believe for a second that the lottery was rigged himself.
Are you stunned by this revelation? We are.
