Ok, I'm gonna try and tackle this one the best I can.
First of all, try and explain to me just exactly how this incredible set of circumstances could ever get off the ground? Who called who and said what to who? Do you think maybe Gary Bettman made a call the the director of officiating and said something to the effect of.....Listen fellas...we REALLy need our sport to grow at a much greater rate then we ALREADY are. We here in the offices feel it would be in all of our best interests if somehow..some way...Pittsburgh were to skate around holding the cup this time around. Sidney Crosby , as you know, is the face of this league. And I can't express enough, what a benefit this would be to us all as a whole. So....off the record...."You know what to do" "You KNOW what to do"!
Doesn't that sound a bit ridiculous?
