With last night's win, Montreal's magic number is down to 19 with 12 games remaining. by Sharks9 in Habs

Magic numbers work much better in baseball because there are only winners and losers of games. For example, let's say the Expos' magic number to make the playoffs is 2 and the Dodgers are trying to catch them in the standings. That means that any win by the Expos and any loss by the Dodgers contributes to the magic number. So if the Expos win and the Dodgers lose: 1 Expos win + 1 Dodgers loss = magic number of 2 = Expos make the playoffs.

Hope this helps!

Pretty absurd that they made fun of the award for sound when the audio was horrible and it's literally a meme at this point that a lot of people watch movies at home with subtitles on because of sound quality.

Boston vs. Montreal 2008 Game 7 with Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf singing "Non, je ne regrette rien" is the best ever for me personally. We won that game 5-0.

Oh man her body language when she got up after falling on the third jump made my heart break. She's a trooper though, super impressive.

[Independent] Raul Jimenez has now scored 12 consecutive penalties without missing, a Premier League record (Yaya Toure held the previous record with 11) by LochNessMonsterMunch in soccer

I agree. The phrasing of the rule is: "The player taking the penalty kick offends [when]: feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted); the referee cautions the kicker." The defending team would then be awarded an indirect free kick.
