LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... WITH THE REGULAR SEASON WINDING DOWN, ALL TEAMS HAVE GOT THEIR EYES ON THE PRIZE. ALL THE SEASON'S HARD WORK IS COMING DOWN TO THIS - WHERE ULTIMATELY, ONE GAME COULD SWING IT ALL. THAT'S RIGHT, A FRANCHISE'S FUTURE WEIGHS IN BALANCE EACH STEP OF THE WAY, AS THEY ALL DUKE IT OUT FOR THE ULTIMATE PRIZE:

THE #1 OVERALL DRAFT PICK!!!!!

THAT'S RIGHT, I BET YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING THAT! WITH THREE DIFFERENT TEAMS ALREADY MATHEMATICALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE PLAYOFFS, THE STAKES COULD NOT BE HIGHER. BUT ONLY ONE TEAM WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE HOME THE GRAND PRIZE. SO WHO WILL IT BE? LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE STANDINGS.

OCO 11-1
SJS 9-3
BAL 6-6
PHI 6-6
-----
COL 5-7
ARI 5-7
NOLA 4-8
YKW 2-10

Ok, back to my normal voice. The playoffs are all but set as of right now - we may see some movement in the NSFC. The Yeti have a chance to sneak in, provided they win out (they would own the conference tiebreaker over Philadelphia at that point). The Baltimore Hawks have not yet punched their ticket, but as long as they beat one of San Jose at home or New Orleans on the road they'll be in, likely with the 1 seed too.

So how's our draft order looking?

1. YKW Yellowknife Wraiths

The Yellowknife Wraiths secured the grand prize of the #1 overall pick in the S13 draft, as they are 2 games behind the Second Line and do not own the tiebreaker (0-2 H2H). Nothing much here, except the Wraiths will get their #1 guy.

2. NOLA New Orleans Second Line

The New Orleans Second Line control their own tank destiny, but who really knows at this point. While they have the second worst record by a game, they have an away date with the Outlaws next week. This would be a monumental game, because if the Second Line win, they get bumped up to #3, but if they lose they clinch the #2 pick. For the Yeti to somehow collapse and lose out while the Second Line win out, they could wind up here with an Outlaws win in W14 (note: unlikely scenario lol)

3. ARI Arizona Outlaws

The Outlaws are weird because an incentive to tank might be drowned out by @kckolbe's willingness to win and to send this tank up in flames, costing the Outlaws valuable draft capital in a meaningless game anyway. Like the Second Line, the Outlaws control their own destiny - lose out and they pick 2. Anything else and they're likely picking #4. If the Outlaws win W13, then they would have to lose W14 and have the Yeti lose both games to pick #3, where they currently are.

4. COL Colorado Yeti

The Yeti would need some crazy Yeti-type stuff to pick at #2. As outlined earlier, it would take the stars to align. Actually, the sun and moon and earth to align. The likely scenario here is that they do pick 4 with a soft schedule awaiting and not-yet-extinguished playoff hopes. Pretty much the only plausible way they move up is if they somehow bungle it all up. Or, if the Yeti make the playoffs, this pick goes to whoever misses (assuming the Outlaws don't win out).

Got a D in an Astronomy class

This happens a lot.

2 objects are always in a perfect line

A third object doesn't make it a once in a lifetime occurance

Those happen fairly often too. Lunar eclipses/solar eclipses have the three in the same plane and directly in line with each other

Fun fact: we only get totally perfect solar eclipses because the moon is both 400x smaller than the sun and 400x closer to us than the sun, so they appear the same size
