NHL has an ice quality problem overall. Big crowds bring in a lot of heat and humidity, and all the other events at those venues always take a toll on the ice. Arenas which are shared with a different sport tend to have the worst ice, because covering the ice is bad for ice quality.
Let's also just be real: the arenas are built to extract money from people in the stands. Ice quality is not actually a high priority.

I think this was a fairly informotive quote:
I mean, how awesome is Crosby, but also, clearly the ice quality is not the highest priority, when the people in charge of creating the ice are of the caliber that they need a hockey player to explain to them what good ice is like.
Here's another article about it, for those who are interested: |
Sure, but there is no point in going on and on about how bad the dome ice is when its still one of the best in the NHL. Of all Flames things to complain about its way down on the list IMO.
What else are the Flames top 5-10 in? If the Flames can't make a pass its not the Ice's fault
