Sea/Tor A 7th Tonight

Tonight in the 15th maximum games (10 #7’s and 5 decisive 5th games) ALCS the home team Blue Jays, the losing team in either the Jays or Mariners’ lone 7th game, doing so at home vs eventual champion, K.C. (Royals) in ’85, slight “faves” vs the Seattle Mariners, who are seeking to make it all MLB 30 teams with a W.S. appearance.

“Tor” eased in #6 and so far only the NHL significant (it ended the Montreal Canadiens 4 year reign as NHL champions, which gave them an incredible 15 crowns in 24 seasons (’56-’79) (they have but 2 since) “quarter” in ’80 when the Minnesota North Stars 7’d Montreal at their hallowed Montreal Forum home to win a 2-2-1-1-1 format series with the first 6 tilts matching the Sea/Tor road/road/road/road/home/home, albeit with the home 5th and 6th winners in the opposite venue, do I recall this configuration.

On Saturday night past, the NHL Seattle Kraken won in Toronto vs the home team, Maple Leafs. I wonder if the Kraken and Mariners stayed/stay at the same hotel.

The Kraken are in Philly tonight vs the Flyers while the NFL Seahawks (4-2) try to keep pace with the NFC West co leading Rams and Niners, each (5-2), as they host the Houston Texans in a game starting about 2 hours after the ALCS #7. The NHL game is one hour before the ALCS tilt.

Of course, the Rams are L.A. and tonight’s ALCS #7 winner will face defending champion, L.A. (Dodgers), beginning Friday in the World Series.

Oh the Minnesota North Stars, the green seats at their Metropolitan Center home.

They are now the Dallas Stars where the franchise won its only crown at Buffalo in game 6 overtime in 1999. It is the lone title in the team’s 57 completed seasons. )’68-2025 with no season in 2005).
