Why does it seem that the ice at the FNC is always so poor. Players are falling and pucks are bouncing over sticks at a much higher rate here than it appears at other arenas. A lot was made of a new ice system being installed when Pegula took over and improving the Zambonies.

So what gives?

I would think we would be reading several comments by several players and coaches about this since preseason. I've read nothing about ongoing poor ice conditions at FNC :dunno:

If you've read different, please post some quotes from those who have played hockey on the ice at FNC.

The Sabres make every ice surface look poor.
