Lake Tahoe becoming a massive fail. Never again.

That ice is terrible. I almost don’t care about the result, just don’t want any injuries due to poor ice

This will be a low scoring game and tough for the guys to skate on / move the puck quickly.
I will be surprised if there are more than 3 goals scored.

Bruins will forge on against Flyers in a setting just about perfect — except for the ice - The Boston Globe

Cassidy planned to use 22-year-old Jack Studnicka as his third-line center, between fellow speedsters Anders Bjork and Jake DeBrusk. The coach said the line “looked really good” at Saturday’s practice.
“He hasn’t played that many games in the middle for us,” Cassidy said of Studnicka. “I like they all have young legs, especially in an environment like this. They might be skating into the wind.”
Jack Studnicka is ready to step in for Bruins

I have talked to locals who all said a clear sunny sky NEVER happens in Tahoe in February.

Until today


Direct sun on ice causes melting unless you are below zero

@Gee Wally and I remember the first MDC rink in Belmont - it was fine unless it was sunny and every MDC rink built afterward had a covering.

Yup... I do remember one I played at on the ‘Jerry Jingle Highway’ - (can’t remember real name of the road) - in Stoneham/Melrose that had a roof but open on all the sides.

NHL is deciding between Yellowknife and Cancun for next year's outdoor game.

Coming down to value of Peso vs. Canadian dollar.

I have family in Tahoe and have taking many winter trips there and to Reno from Cali, and looking at the pictures from yesterday, i just don't ever remember a day like that, in Jan or Feb. . .ever. Let alone two days in a row. IDK. Mother nature has surely been a mad scientist this February.

Hoping Bergy skates smart. Don't want to aggravate groin issues if it's soft.

Tahoe is warm and sunny when its not snowing I'm not surprised by this.

Don't think the league did much wrong. Its not that cold there either just high elevation. There can be 20 feet of snow on the ground and you are only 30 miles drive into the desert for an open playable golf course.

How can anyone whos spent time there be surprised?

Also these events went off at baseball stadiums that were designed specifically for the sun to not be in the players eyes. The rink was situated to maximize the view in the background for obvious reasons. Of course they could have found a shady spot but that wasn't the point.

Can't have something happening like the ladies game at Gillette.

7:30? I thought they said 7!

7:30? I thought they said 7!

they kept pushing it back.... you're just waiting to flip it back out of Tahoe to the Garden......

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

7:30? I thought they said 7!

Get ready for when it’s start time is set to midnight EST.

 

[veganbruin]

Yeah I feel bad that the league can’t catch a break but this is a joke. What’s the point of the scenery if they play the game at night? Might as well have just finished the game at the practice facility.

 

[veganbruin]

Yes I do know it won’t be night for the game at 7:30.

Lake Tahoe becoming a massive fail. Never again.

5 minutes in there was a lot of ice shavings building up.
Epic fail plus it was nice to have Bettman there to witness first hand.

I alternate between laughing and being creeped out by this

Speaking of Yellowknife, they could fly them in on a bunch of WWII planes from Buffalo Air. The Stanley Cup actually flew with them once.

Hey, I live in Yellowknife!

I frequently drink beers with Mikey McBryan, I didn’t realize how big the show was until I went south and explained where I live, hahaha.

They had Bruce Dickinson up here a few years back which was hilarious. You’d run into him here and there and not many realized he’s the lead singer of one of the best metal bands to ever. You’d just run into him at random places, haha.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

No kidding!

 

[Sheppy]

No kidding!

I’m all for the outdoor game coming here, but there’s a very small window where players won’t die. We call that April.
