Re: WISCONSIN Hockey Vol. 22 - Let's not have another cheesy thread title... Wait, W
Eaves lamented the team didn't get any practice time at the KC and the 7 ft difference in width from the KC to Labahn made it hard to prepare for this series. This begs the question.....why didn't they build the practice facility the same width as their home ice? That would have reinforced the home rink advantage. So now the practice rink sucks even more and no one shows up for the games because the hockey team doesn't dominate at home.
How about this crazy idea...build Labahn the same width as the KC, but then have some additional sideboards that you could put in to make the rink narrower so you can practice on the width of rink you will be playing in? I know they had only 34 million to play with.....
Honestly, something like 8400 people there on opening night at home, dedicating the ice sheet to the Badger Bob himself with lots of promos online and on the air is a total embarrasment. All the Alumni at the game must have been scratching their heads. Badger Bob must have turn over in his grave last night. It's official, UW hockey is dying, over-run by FB, BB and mediocrity. There's 5000 empty seats to back this up.
