Tyler's answer is a little confused. If Toronto wins out they will finish with 61 points. If Toronto wins that last game with Montreal in regulation Montreal can get be no better than 61 points. Toronto has the first tie breaker. So they open in Toronto, regardless of what Boston does. If Boston only takes two points in their last three games they will have 61 points. Again Toronto holds the first tie breaker ROW wins.

But here is the kicker, Toronto finishes in second and faces Ottawa in the first round, Islanders beat Washington in the 3-6 face off. Montreal and Boston have their usual massacre. So second round Isles > Pens and Toronto > Montreal. Do I hear a parade forming on Bay Street.

What are some things i need to know before travelling to Dubai?

Desert Safaris

Trips to the desert in groups can be a great way to explore the desert and also know other people and find out a little bit more about the Arabic culture. Safaris are generally half day and can include an overnight stay in one of the Bedouin tents.

1. Wadi-Driving - This is a popular pastime with both residents and visitors. This involves exploring the wadis or dry beds of streams that flow after winter rains from the Hajar mountains.

2. Dune driving - Driving in sand can be a thrilling experience by itself and this combines the excitement of a roller coaster ride with the challenge of remaining mobile on the shifting surface. Courses in sand driving are available, with four-wheel-drive vehicles provided, along with expert instruction.

3. Sand-Skiing - Those with a penchant for speed, a head for heights and enthusiasm for an unusual sport will enjoy sand-skiing down the dunes of the Dubai desert.

4. Desert Feasts - Safaris are made more pleasurable by culminating into an evening with spectacular sunset views followed by a traditional Arab barbecue under the stars. You can even tailor your evening to your need and round it off with some great Arabic music and belly dancing, the smoking of hubble-bubble pipes and often a display of falconry.

I really hope this helps you - have a good holiday !!!

Im running my first 12k!! (: I need advice?

12K is about 7 miles or so, and if you can run six miles in an hour, then put yourself in the 10 minute bracket. If you can do it faster, then go in a faster bracket; if not, then go in 10. You sound reasonably fit and young, so go for 10 or 8 bracket. 12 is fairly slow, really a jog.

If you haven't run longer than 3 miles regularly, work on upping your distance first at a steady pace (just run the distance some days at whatever pace, and some days try to set a 'race pace' and see what it is), then if you have time, work on your speed by running short intervals (about a quarter mile) at your fastest speed, then resting for 30 seconds to a minute, then repeating.

Your existing training of 3-4 times a week of regular runs with intervals sounds fine. I think you will enjoy the 12K.

Get to know the course... if there are lots of hills, then get in some hill training.

You will do fine... remember the best race is the one you finish. Enjoy!
