Simple. America is divided straight down the middle. It's sad, but we only have ourselves to blame. So, your team will be split down the middle. Let's celebrate this ridiculous display of democracy with an equal ridiculous display of hockey.
Franchise selection is exclusive. Players can be twisted - within the limits of the rules (I know... Rules? What friggin rules in this election year? But... have to have a few).
Rules
1. Half your franchise must be made up of players that played for a Campbell Conference (Pre New Alignment) team and stats must be from one of those teams and years.
2. Half your franchise must be made up of players that played for a Prince of Wales Conference (PNA) team and stats must be from one of those teams and years.
3. Goalies must be no higher than 89% SA (Nothing can save this election!!!) If your team can't meet this rule, then we will find you a goalie that will.
4. Your 3 scrubs must be 300+ PIM guys and play at least 20 games each to qualify your team for the post season. (You need your goons to intimidate those that would come forward about your candidates indiscretions.)
5. Only half your forwards can have a SH% above 20.
6. Half your team will have a DEF RATING above 50. The other half must be below 50. (Scrubs don't count against this rule)
Your team name must be associated with a political scandal from Canada or USA.
100M cap.
Put together your basket of deplorables and potty mouthed hypocrites and throw them on the ice to battle it out!
