This is why I never got complaints about the Winter Classic. Ice is never uniform, not all boards are the same (I can recall times when players warming up would slam into the boards to check how much give they had), and lighting is not always the same.
Yeah, the Classic has an occasional blizzard or soft ice (ridiculously so in Buffalo and Lake Tahoe, respectively) but one thing I like about the outdoor sports is how different stadiums and weather conditions come into play. It is part of the fun to me (though maybe not to the players themselves).
