I understand exactly what you're saying but I'm not sure it's totally correct. I remember in the late 90's or early 2000's when we had Man U in the last game of the season at Old Trafford and arsenal needed us to win to give them a chance in winning the league. Les Ferdinand scored the opening goal for us and celebrated it like he really didn't want to be scoring it, especially when he heard the moot cheering from our fans. That was pretty much our only chance in the match and they went on to win 2-1 with us barely threatening thereafter (pretty typical for us at Old Trafford in those days mind you).
Even if the players were as professional as they should be there's still the fact the supporters will be up for the game against 100 times more than they will against Leicester which will transfer on to the pitch and ultimately affect the performance of the team.
It was at WHL
