dryfly Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 NHL Coalition Having decided that the Detroit Redwings technically won the 2008 Stanley Cup, the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers and Dallas Stars have formed a coalition demanding a three way ownership of the league title. Rational for their decision revolves around their total combined scoring in the 2008 Semi-Finals, their total share of season ticket holders versus the Detroit Redwings and their horror at discovering the Detroit Redwings are using a more cost effective and efficient but non-union made Silver polish to keep the Stanley Cup gleaming. The three teams are being assisted in their bid to overturn the traditional results by members of the Quebec Hockey League who have no real interest in the success of the NHL in general but sense an opportunity to demand Zambonis and other critical equipment be manufactured in Quebec. Player representatives, Team Owners and Nike are expected to submit their proposals to Don Cherry in the next few days. Fans and ticket holders are neither being asked or allowed a voice in the final decision. Should note.... Not mine BTW ... arrived via email this morning. Too funny. Clive Quote
admin Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Breaking News! Toronto Maple Leafs Win Stanley Cup! Canada was stunned Monday when it was announced that The Stanley Cup will be awarded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, possibly as early as December 6th. The cup will be stripped from 2008 playoff champions the Detroit Red Wings and be awarded to the Leafs, who didn't even make the playoffs. How is this possible, Canadians ask? Well, the Leafs have formed a coalition with eastern conference semifinalists the Montreal Canadians, and conference quarter finalists the Ottawa Senators, now outnumbering the Red Wings. According to current Leaf coach Ron Wilson "the Red Wings have lost the confidence of the league and should hand the cup over immediately to our coalition". NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is cutting short a European trip to try to resolve the unprecedented hockey crisis that could force a second playoff series, or see an opposing team coalition take the cup.

walker1 Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 But who shall run this new NHL juggernut????? I elect Sean Avery since he is obviouly NUTS!!!!! Quote
H2O Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 If this policy was written into the league rules, I’d say hooray for the Leafs. If Detroit is upset, they should work on changing the rules not just complaining that they were cheated by the rules they agreed to when they entered the league. Why don't we all just take a break Quote
