...then--zap--the six months are gone. The 1978-79 season was ground into the ice by a paroxysm of excitement Sunday night, as the playoffs finally sorted themselves out and the final game--number 680--determined the team with the best record...
...season-long battle of surprisingly competent also-rans, Pittsburgh outlasted L.A. for the "Rest of the Norris" Division. Making a series of shrewd deals calculated to get a winner on the ice and fans in the building, the Pens accumulated a not-insubstantial amount of talent that sometimes made life tough for the rest of the league.

Ganymede's surface is less cratered than Callisto's and only a fourth its age, about 1 billion years...
