This constitutes a pretty serious indictment of the current playoff system I'd say. They've got it close, but next year the team with the better record should choose where they want to play the first game.
Another scathing article on the disastrous Dragon Stadium move. In my opinion, the Burn's season was over before it even started because of this move. I think this article kind of says that.
Yeah, it was the field that lost 19 games. It was the field that couldn't mark anyone the majority of the season. It was the field that continued to give up disasterous rebounds at poor times in net. It was the field that broke O'Brien's leg. C'mon. I have no doubt it was a contributor to the much and mire. Still, the field isn't nearly the main problem. It's not like Dallas was any good on a larger grass field either.
Of course they have real problems with their team also. What I meant was the negative team psyche this created from the beginning. Thats never a good thing.
Re: Re: 10/25 Europe's Biggest Hit I don't think the article was as much an inditement of the feild but the management decisions regarding it or rather the lack of management's anticipation of the ramifications of moving to it.
