Yes I saw people saying similar things on twitter and now the game is cancelled. Just funny Coyotes dont say anything but Kings are playing scrimmage game instead.

Absolutely, I was told this morning that they need to put another new sheet in. When a chiller goes and the ice starts to melt, the paint "floats" and once that happens, it's over. It's not only damaging cosmetically, but the paint is abrasive and slows the ice down, dulls skates.
The interesting thing is that the team has been saying that there has been a problem and the COG has been ignoring it. Does anyone happen to remember if repairs/improvements like this were the team's responsibility in the original lease, that was cancelled?
The big issue is that the chillers need to be to NHL standard and capable of getting the team through the season.

Depending on who you want to believe...... Glendale had budgeted $18k for repairs during IA's last year as arena manager and none of that money was spent. AEG took over and asked Glendale before last season for nearly $2 million to upgrade things and of which $50k was for the repairs to the existing cooling towers and purchasing a backup unit. Whether or not those repairs were done is unknown but a faulty relay could be something completely separate from all that.
Too bad the Sundogs didn't survive, that would have been a good place to move it. Free game for the locals and anyone else who wants to drive up there.

My biggest concern is the poor management in this situation. Ice temps should be checked hourly. I was told today that they discovered the problem as they were removing the floor from the concert. If they had been checking the temps hourly (as per the norm) they would have known there was a problem earlier and been able to try and diagnose said problem.
Perhaps it's all by design - to get the COG to step up for repair costs? That would be quite the conspiracy.

I was looking forward to this game, as it's one of few happening on my crap day's off, and it's been a while.
My prediction for this game that never was:
Yotles 4 - Kongs 2
Duclair 3p's 1G/2A
POJ 2p's 1G/1A, 2 blocked shots and 2 hits
Hjalmarsonn 2 p 1G/1A
Strome 2p 0G/2A, wins 51% of FO
Keller 3p 1G/2A
Me - 2 beers and a new practice sweater
