Just watched the game now (very late) on PVR.

Absolutely infuriating.

I am 100% serious in saying this is what should have happened:

- Game should have been called off shortly into the first period

- Carolina concedes the game and surrenders 2 points for being unable to put forth an NHL ice surface

- Employees responsible for making that ice surface should be fired

- Executive responsible fined 1000s of dollars

- Carolina told they won't host another home game until they're able to provide an acceptable NHL ice surface

- Full refunds given to the 286 fans that were in attendance

To me, everything that happened after that is a non-starter. That was embarrassing watching two teams attempt to play a hockey / curling hybrid because the puck wouldn't slide on that joke of an ice surface or bounced all over like a ping pong ball.

I've seen better ice surfaces on outdoor rinks on humid spring days.

Just embarrassing and cringe-worthy to see that. What a complete waste of time seeing that in 2016 in a supposed professional arena for an NHL game.
