But, it was "legal", and in a court of law they would be "acquitted".

It's what "Home Field Advantage" has always been about, in every sport. NHL slowing down the ice, when the Montreal Canadians were in town. If you can't take your game on the road, you're in trouble.
How many guys do you know, who can shoot 75 at their club, every day ... but can't break 85 "on the road"?
