Random thought -- is the ice at the Saddledome going to be a factor?
In Game 1, the third period was delayed because apparently the building was too hot and the ice had to be reflooded.
In Game 7, the same thing happened between the second and third period, and again between the third period and overtime (it was funny because the Zambonis were literally still on the ice when Beesley yelled "ARE YOU READY" and the players were not given the heads up that the ice wasn't ready yet, and the Zamboni driver threw up her arms because clearly they weren't done yet).
I didn't see it affecting game play at all, but something to maybe keep in mind as this series and the playoffs progress.
