It was talked about during the last game with the conversation concerning Bettman being in the building to watch the game, and his belief that the Saddledome is outdated. The building was six degrees warmer than it's supposed to be for a game. That was for the entire game and led to the delay in the second intermission where they had to deal with the ice. This game was the same. You could see it in skating, and fumbled pucks. Passes were slow and missing there mark.
The Flames will actually be a much more effective team on the road on better ice. Their game is possession, and you can't do that if the game is slowed physically. The Saddledome crew had better figure out the problems for game five.
