For example: 
  
1-0 
0-10 
1-0 
0-10 
1-0 
0-10 
1-0 
  
  
The team loses in total goals by 4-30 and wins the Stanley Cup.

Very true, Jack and Doove. 
 
That happened somehow in the World Series years ago (late '50s early '60s?) with the Pirates and Yankees, I believe. The Yankees outscored them terribly, but the Pirates went on to win the Series. 
 
I was making a joke about the Cup without thinking and was called out by our resident Board statisticians!!!
 
After all, as I've said before; I do lay claim to being the world's "smartest idiot".
