It was something like each team had 3 balls put into the barrel and then one was removed for making the playoffs or winning the cup or drafting 1st overall (or all three). The draw was done from the remaining balls and Bettman read out Pittsburgh's name while winking at Mario and flipping off Gretzky. And thus Cindy Crysby became a Penguin.
