I'm going with the Buffalo Aud during the '75 Stanley Cup.  Fog, bats, etc.

The ice wasn't bad at all tonight, except for the one spot where they had issues.

Casey said that they could only do so much mid-season. I think when they start fresh for next season things should be fine.

Most likely, yeah. It looked way better than November in either case.

I'm just fucking around, as I am wont to do, because the thought crossed my mind.

Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, host of the ECAC final four during 2011-2013, was one of the worst ice surfaces in recent times.

I'm not sure comparing the surface at Milano Cortina to pond hockey makes the point he was going for...

The players themselves said they were happy with the quality of the ice.

Canadian James Livingston, who plays for the Wipptal Broncos, said he was sure his compatriots in the NHL would be fine.

"I mean we all grew up playing on ponds back in Canada, so I'm sure that whatever gets thrown at them, they're gonna adapt and they're gonna enjoy it," he told The Associated Press. "And they are playing for their country. So, I think it will be a great competition."
