Default NHL Coalition

My email (both personal and party's) are overflowing with requests to take action on the coalition.
This is by far my favourite; more creative than the other pleas.

This is why out of all the unimportant things in the world, sports is the most important. It's black and white and people have to accept the results.

I posted this one in the actual coalition thread but I feel it deserves a second post...

Very Creative. Now if only the NHL rules were written in a way to allow that exact thing, it would be a great comparison.

In this spirit, can we lobby the NHL to overturn the results of 2004 Stanley Cup Final based on the fact the Flames had more GF and therefore more of a mandate to claim ownership of the Cup instead of the Lightning who "technically" won in 7 games????

Exactly what I was going to say. Not really funny at all cause it doesn't make any sense.
