As a fan of the "we'll make it work" mentality, I find there to be very little more annoying than getting amped up to play a game only to have it canceled due to some unforeseen inconvenience. Therefore, I appreciate the ingenuity, as much genius as it lacked, that the Swiss League showed in not letting a minor leak rain on their preseason parade. I guess I just have one question, and that is exactly how bad was this leak that a bucket was less of an obstacle than the puddle it was put in place of? Far be it for me to assume I could've done better, but inserting a goddamn garbage can as a makeshift forechecker seems like an overcorrection for anything less than a defensive zone flood warning. I understand that there was no time to give the roof some much needed TLC, but their means of precaution makes it seem as though they were chasing a mid-game waterfall in trying to put this meaningless practice game in books. Playing around a wet spot wouldn't have given anywhere near as preposterous a visual, so I do appreciate that they didn't keep it that simple. However, if this leak wasn't a precursor to the roof caving in then couldn't the damage it was causing have been swept up accordingly between whistles, as opposed to caught one drop at a time by a third defenseman?
