There is one. He's the guy on the microphone that NOBODY can understand. All of the intermission activities were totally FUBAR'ed Saturday night. Cartwright was on the ice during the chuck-a-puck. The marketing guy talked way too much before the pucks were thrown. The only people to pick up the pucks were Ice Arena staff (who have their own responsibilities!!!!). By the time the Zamboni started making ice, there was maybe 10 minutes left in intermission. Might as well not even bother at that point. And Cartwright wasn't acknowledged till after the Zamboni was off the ice and Jack Vivian came out with her.
Most places that have intermission stuff have 2 Zambonis making ice. The Ice Arena doesn't have this capability right now so the people who put this stuff on need to realize that it takes more than 10 minutes to make GOOD ice and get the nets set before the players get back on the ice. This isn't a new thing either. It's been going on for 10 years now (I know, I got my ass chewed out by Tyler Master's for sending them out according to the clock and the nets weren't set). Personally, I think it's time to cut the gimmicky crap between periods and focus on hockey (recognizing donations and alumni isn't gimmicky, btw, it IS about the hockey).
You know what could be done? Turn the area where the horn is into a make-shift stage, make it easily accessible so that you can do things like recognizing people in the South End Zone up there. I think that would be very cool. Recognition could go on for some extra time and the Zamboni can do what it needs to do. Sounds like a good idea for the renovation!

I'd call it pathetic.
I wasn't at the game, but, I felt the same way at the FB game when we "honored" the '59 Natl. Champ. team...how much more time would it have taken to read off the list of players present on the field? BG definitely needs to upgrade such events... I know there was a Friday nite banquet where the FB team had been recognized, but doubt that the thousands at the game knew who these guys were, by just having them walk out into the endzone.
Education our Challenge, Excellence our goal. (look it up)

I like the idea. It makes sense!
That area would have to receive a MAJOR facelift for this idea to work. It's pretty damn frightening to try to climb up there and walk around. Or maybe that's just when you don't really have any peripheral vision.

Well maybe if you didn't walk around with a Falcon mask over your damn head you wouldn't have any problems!!!
