The Red Wings have a 9.5% chance at getting Jack Hughes

After tonight, top prospects Jack Hughes and Kappo Kakko will no-doubt know where they end up ahead of the NHL Draft.
The Red Wings damaged their chances to get the aforementioned players because of a late-season surge. They ended up with the fourth-best odds landing a 1st overall pick. Tonight’s lottery will consist of three separate drawings — for first, second and third overall. The Avalanche (by way of Ottawa) locked up a pick in the top-four. Here’s how you can watch:

NHL Draft Lottery

Lottery odds (Fewest Points to Most)
Colorado Avalanche (from OTT) 18.5%
Los Angeles Kings 13.5%
New Jersey Devils 11.5%
Detroit Red Wings 9.5%
Buffalo Sabres 8.5%

Florida Panthers 2.0%
Arizona Coyotes 1.5%
Montreal Canadiens 1.0%
As we wait feverishly throughout the day, be sure to head on over to Tankathon, it’s great for burning a couple of hours off the day. It’s also a great tool to put everything into perspective, and get a basic roundabout mock draft.
While the storyline of this draft is Jack vs. Kaapo, there are a ton of really interesting prospects to be taken after the top-two. Names I have my eye on for the Red Wings are Alex Turcotte, Bowen Byram, Trevor Zegras, and Cole Caufield. Once we learn where every team will be picking, we’ll begin profiling all of the top prospects ahead of the event.
This year’s draft is set for Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on June 21 and 22.
The Red Wings have a 9.5% chance at 1st overall, so the odds aren’t great, but a great man once asked: “so, you’re tellin’ me there’s a chance...”

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
