Free the Stanley Cup II

A reader posted his suggested solution to the Stanley Cup problem this year:

I don’t think it should be given out.  Since the NHL stole it, it lost its Challenge Cup status, and thus shouldn’t rever back to it.  The NHL, while not playing, is an existing League with the rights to the Cup.  They should engrave it “No Cup Awarded Due To Stupidity”.

Now, the Cup should not sit in a vault, especially since travel to the HHOF will probably go down.  So what I propose is this:

Every Season Ticket holder to an NHL franchise should get to have the Cup for a day.  If the League truly wants to make it up to the fans and give back to the fans, reward them a day with the Grail of Sports.  After all, without their money there’d be no League.

Now, I agree with the sentiment.  However, I don’t think the math works.
Anxiogenic Characteristics Of Muira Puama Alcohol immersion of roots of Ptychopetalum olacoides Benth. (PO), known as Marapuama or Muirapuama, are used in the buy cialis no prescription Brazilian Amazon Rainforest. According to a study, middle-aged men who used to think of intercourse as impossible task for them. cost cialis viagra Order for these herbal pills can be placed from the comfort of home using tadalafil tablets 20mg a credit card. Frequently, detection of type 2 diabetes is made only when buy generic cialis davidfraymusic.com significant complications arise or even during routine pathological lab tests.
Let’s assume 3,000 season ticket holders for each team.  There are 30 teams.  That’s 90,000 different people who might want to take the cup home.  Let’s cut that in 1/2 for blocks of seats held by corporations and such to 45,000.

At one day each, it would take 123 years and about 4 months.  Unfortunately, that’s beyond any human lifespan, so you’d better hope that you got an early slot!

Now, if I had the cup, I’d invite friends and family over for a hockey party.  The cup would be placed in a location of distinction in the corner of the family room, and we’d watch a selection of great hockey games of the past (the Miracle on Ice – the game not the movie – and a few game 7’s).

Food would be beer, soda, hot chocolate, and hot dogs and French Fries.  None of this nouveau pizza or nachos – TRADITIONAL hockey food.
