I’m thinking they wind up with the #7 spot. I’d rather play whoever winds up at #7 than whoever winds up at #8. Mainly because whoever gets #8 is going to do it by being on a hot streak at the end of the season.

Theo’s save there, and his ability to poke the rebound into the corner, was tougher than it looked. Back in October that rebound would have bounced right in front of the goal for an easy tip-in

Weeee. That was a fun game.
Man what a great bunch of fans the last 5 minutes. We were all standing and cheering the entire time!
It was awesome.
The only thing that I hate about my seats is that the section I sit in is one of the last to fill up, and thus tends to have a lot of visiting fans and casual fans who never stand up for anything. Being at the front of the section, I feel bad standing up and cheering for anything because I know I’m in these people’s way. So a lot of times, I want to stand up and scream and get loud but I can’t because I’m at the front of a very lame section and I don’t want to be rude.
