Final Game FinFest

I've been kicking this idea around for a while: An FTF meetup before the last regular-season home game on Thursday night. With the Sharks' magic numbers at 3 and 6 (vs. Detroit and vs. Boston, respectively) it could possibly be the game that clinches the Sharks' first-ever Presidents Trophy.
What better way to witness that than by knocking back a few (or more) with the people you've been spending the season with? (And no, I don't mean Randy, Drew, Dan, and Jamie.)

Paul Lukas of Uni Watch interviews Steve Vucinich, A's equipment manager.
Corey Wimberly is a god amongst men, Stevie V. always has an extra pair of stirrups on hand, and the A's will be wearing 1939 Oaks throwbacks against the Mariners Rainiers in May and 1929 Philly A's throwbacks against the Chicago White Stockings in August.

Hockey's Magic Number, Part 2: Excel Strikes Back

It turns out I lied to you last time. This didn't really get put on the backburner at all. Well maybe for a little while, but with a 7-hour break between classes on Mondays (9:30 to 11, then 6:30 to 10!!!), your mind starts wandering from your studies just a bit. So what's new? Extrapolation! Prediction! Algebra! More spreadsheets!
So come on in and join the party!

Hockey's magic number

Magic numbers are usually associated with baseball, and for good reason. A win is a win, and whoever has the most in each division at the end of the season goes to the playoffs (along with the wild card, of course). Same for football, but with two wild cards. Easy. Basketball is a little tougher, with what amounts to five wild cards in each conference, but an NBA game can only be either won or lost. The NHL, of course, adds a new wrinkle, with a point system set up in place to support the game's current practice of three possible outcomes. So how do we get the magic number to play nice with a point system and five wild cards? And should it be bothered with this early in the season?
Shorts answers: Math, and probably not. But let's go for it anyway!

From what I saw (heard) of the game tonight, they basically quit trying. That will NOT fly in the playoffs. Yes, it’s the regular season right now, but I’ve seen the exact same crap from this team over and over. Once they reach the top, once they start getting hyped, once they begin to see the wins far outnumber the losses, they stop trying.

Tickets? Tickets?

Anyone happen to have three or four tickets to Saturday's or Tuesday's games (12/20 or 12/23)? Ticketmaster Marketplace's lowest prices for three seats together are $103 and $333 each respectively, and StubHub isn't looking any better. That usually goes down as it gets closer to the game, but I'd rather not have to take that chance.
