It's not the action of him going to Columbus that's ironic, it's him being there that's ironic. For crying out loud. You're still stuck on it having to be centred on an action. It's in the (frank)ing name, situational irony. The situation of him being in Columbus would be ironic.

The situation, can be an outcome of an action that was expected to have a contrasting one, or simply the expectation of a state of affairs that developed in contrast to said expectation.

You two have to be PM'ing each other cracking up while you're posting this? If not you should be. This is incredible.

We're arguing because we're choosing to view it on different scales.

I agree with you if you want to break it down into a bunch of separate events then no, none of them are inherently ironic on their own. However, irony can be present, when you look at the big picture. Where in, Yakupov was not expected to end up in Columbus (given that they lost the lottery). Him ending up there creates irony.

No it still doesn't create irony because nowhere in the big picture did anything happen with one intention and have another result. Everying that happened would have had the exact result intended. :

The Isles beat writer keeps saying it's an upper body injury but definitely not a concussion. Weird considering he looks like he doesn't know what state he's in.

Columbus losing the lottery had the expected result of Yakupov not being in Columbus. If he ends up there that would be in contrast to said expected result.

Pointe finale!

People are laughing at us and it's making me blush.

I think spending several pages arguing whether something is or isn't ironic is pretty ironic.
