Can you show me where this data is, thanks!Its not substandard. Its consistently voted one of the best surfaces in the league. The refs and players submit reports each and every game, based on how the ice was by period. Adjustments are made to try and over come short comings base on reports.
Is it possible to have a bad night of ice? Yes. Plenty of factors, was there practices the day of? Concert the day before? Weather outside etc. All that playing a part can lead to a less than perfect sheet that night, but to say it is substandard is in correct.
