Who says there aren't enough goals in football?

Didn't they think that two separate once-a-millenium streaks happening down the stretch run of the season would draw attention? I'd love to see collusion on such a grand scale here in N.Amer. Not that I'd want such a corrupt league(s), but the fall-out would be stupendous entertainment. I could the the Penguins organization taking a few payments under the table to allow other teams to pad their stats, just in case the playoff race came down to goals scored. Oh wait, they're already doing that, for free. Here's another over the top score-fest story.

I was looking for that story, garfield, but couldn't find it. Cheers.
