If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it can beat the Calgary Flames 3-0 in Game 7

Yes, its Edmonton vs. San Jose.

And I will be endeavoring to buy tickets to either Game 3 or Game 4 next weekend. A buddy is coming down from les prairies tres grande, and that seems like a good excuse to go.

There are only 6-8 of us who would be going. Ticketmaster maxes you out at 4 seats. So logically, I suggested having three of us try for tickets: if one of us gets in, a small select group will get to go. If two of us get in, we all get to go.

He objected on the concern that all three of us would get through. What, he asked, would we do with the extra tickets?

Yes, it seriously never occured to him that there are 700,000 people interested in watching that game. In the unlikely event that all 3 of us are successful (I mean really, if one of us is successful it'll be amazing) I'm sure 4 Oilers playoff tickets won't be hard to hawk.

Update, 3:34am: I totally forgot the best moment of the night: when the CBC cut to show Calgary fans sprinkled across the Red Mile watching TVs in storefronts totally in shock over what they were seeing, as it was 2-0 with less than 3 minutes left in regulation.
