Their ice plan didn’t consider sunshine?

What about lollipops and rainbows?!?

Completely disagree. I still enjoy them attempting to do these types of games.

The ruts they showed looked pretty nasty. Hopefully no one gets hurt on that crap.

Can’t play to late, they do not have lighting for nighttime hockey. (per Knights radio broadcast yesterday)

Really don't like the Knights, and I like Colorado, so let's go Nordiques.

Somebody should let the NHL know lol

I saw that. The Knights radio people said the lights were only to help even the glare for TV broadcast and not for nighttime play.
Who knows what that means?

What an absolute nightmare this is for the NHL.

I like the idea of mixing it up and trying to bringing someone new to the season. This game appears to be a bit of a joke after they have this 'sun' issue.

It just seems like there’s always an issue with them. I went to one in 2011 and decided that night I’d never attend another one. Then the whole flying drone camera turned me off to them completely.

Makes sense.

If it works, I'd love for them to do this at Vegas, at night.

But I'm not sure they'd be able to pull it off.

So an 8 hour intermission? Didn’t have that on the bingo card.

This is very NHL.

Again doesn't bother me. They attempt these type of events and when they don't work, they do what they can but don't risk player safety.

If you take risks, you'll have some failures.

in my experience, even when the outdoor games go off without a hitch, the quality of hockey is still utter shit.
spectacle can be amazing, but the game itself is awful.

Yeah but the sun has historically been a problem for these games and Tahoe is one of the sunniest places in the US. Why didn’t they just postpone the start to dusk?

jesus, that's a swamp
