East:

Pittsburgh - NY Rangers

Ottawa - Montreal

Detroit - Tampa Bay

NY Islanders - Washington

West:

Winnipeg - Anaheim

Minnesota - St. Louis

Chicago - Nashville

Calgary - Vancouver

I have a large list (5,000 or so) of numbers and I want to find if any of these numbers are in a range/consecutive.

For example:

7315456878

7339495458 ----------------------

7339495459 ----------------------

7385485487

I need an easy way to find if numbers are in a range like middle two above.

Instead of just looking at the last numbers, is there a macro that I could use?

At least 2 bad calls gave the Rangers a Power Play.

TORONTO (AP) -- The NHL has made a new offer to the players' association that proposes a 50-50 split of hockey-related revenue and a full 82-game season starting Nov. 2.

As talks resumed Tuesday in Toronto between the league and the NHLPA, Commissioner Gary Bettman announced the offer, which is crafted for - if nothing else - a quick response from the head of the players' association, Donald Fehr.

''It was done,'' Bettman said, ''in the spirit of getting a deal done.''

Fehr told reporters that the proposal is for six years.

''Our hope,'' he said, ''after we review this is that there will be a feeling on the players' side that this will be a proposal from which we can negotiate and try and reach a conclusion.''

When asked if the new proposal was an improvement over previous offers made by the NHL, Fehr said: ''In some respects I think it is. In other respects I'm not sure. We have to look at it.''

The NHL locked out its players on Sept. 15, and the regular season was scheduled to begin on Oct. 11. A Nov. 2 start date would extend the season well into June, but would preserve some of the marquee events, such as the Jan. 1 Winter Classic in Michigan.

Bettman said the long-term deal takes steps to guarantee the players will get full value from their existing deals. And in order to pull off the logistics of the schedule, each team would have one additional game every five weeks in order to get a full season in.

It is clearly the best offer - or counteroffer, for that matter - that has been made in the months of negotiations since last season ended. And the proposal is now in the hands of Fehr and his team of executives. The union has requested time to look the proposal over.

''We're focused on getting the puck dropped on Nov. 2 and playing a full 82-game regular season and full playoffs,'' Bettman said. ''That's what this offer is all about.''

This is the third lockout under Bettman's watch, but unlike the previous two, dialogue has remained steady. The two sides last met last week in New York.

Illegal immigrants arrested in phony UPS van:

NILAND, Calif. (AP) — It was a special delivery indeed — 13 suspected illegal immigrants from Mexico stuffed in a phony UPS van.

The U.S. Border Patrol said Tuesday that agents stopped the van Friday as the driver tried to circumvent a highway checkpoint near Niland, about 150 miles east of San Diego in California's Imperial Valley, near the Mexican border.

The van looked like a legitimate United Parcel Service Inc. delivery vehicle, except the company decal on the back door was slightly crooked.

The driver, U.S. citizen Daniel Lopez, was charged in federal court in El Centro with illegal transportation of aliens, authorities said.

Carlos Goens, the driver of another truck, was charged with the same crime after being detained at a Border Patrol checkpoint. He is suspected of coordinating with the UPS van.

Migrants told authorities they had agreed to pay between $5,000 and $8,000 each to be smuggled into the United States, according to the criminal complaint.

An agent reported seeing Goens leave a suspected stash house for illegal immigrants in the town of Brawley, leading authorities to the UPS vehicle. Another agent pulled over the UPS van at a mobile home park in Niland.

Attorneys for Goens and Lopez did not immediately respond to phone messages Wednesday.

Border Patrol agents recently began visiting Imperial Valley businesses and government agencies to warn about smugglers cloning their vehicles, said spokesman Adrian Corona. Telltale signs include misspellings on agency or company logos and crooked decals.

In recent years, smugglers have used fake vehicles of the California Highway Patrol and Imperial Irrigation District.

Last year, a white van filled with 13 illegal immigrants from Mexico dressed as clean-cut Marines were stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint near San Diego.

A Border Patrol agent who had served in the Marine Corps wasn't fooled, especially when the driver didn't know the Corps' birthday.

Two years ago today Ronnie James Dio passed away.

So what are your favorite songs and albums by him? Could be with Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath/Heaven and Hell or his solo albums.

RIP Ronnie.

Every game was decided by 1 goal. (1st time in NHL history)

4 games went into OT.

Each team had numerous chances and game could of turned out differently

So, was this the best series we have seen in history?

Congrats to both Bruins and Caps for playing a great and tough series!!
