You can not see the zamboine doors from dj box , all he would of seen was the zamboine going off no commutation made to the area that it was full, and with the wet cut not being done it was hard to see if the ice was ready or not , though the other question that should of been asked was why the zamboni was not emptied first

Correction - you can clearly see the Zamboni doors from the DJ Box - the previous observations and comments remain valid.
I'm sorry but I simply don't buy your comments that with a dry ice cut, it is difficult to view such a large dump of ice on the ice pad - certainly not for someone who has played the game as much as Mumbles has.
We've gone from one of the best "off-ice" Match Night Entertainment experiences in the whole league to something that falls well short of previously high standards.
It's embarrassing - having the team you support come out on to the ice to NOTHING, no build up of support and as for the choices of music for breaks in play - Awful. Men of Harlech always played second break in play EVERY GAME - takes too long to get the crowd involved. CLUELESS
Ok how would you know what you can and can't see from the dj box ?? Yeah some of the songs need an edit, but things will change come next year and still you just ignored my question and happy to have a go at people who give up there time, why you just pick holes in one game where you should be talking about the one ice product
So can you answer , why wasn't the zamboni emptied first ?

Like Elliswf, I too have been in the DJ booth helping out over the years (giving up my time freely to help out the NIHL and Junior Club) and can recall being able to clearly see that whether the Zamboni doors are or are not open.
The fact that the doors weren't closed and there was a dump of ice on the pad would suggest to the majority of people that until such time as these matters were dealt with, it would NOT be a good time to start the Devils Intro.
Secondly, Having started the Devils intro, I would like to think, (had I been in that situation), that I would have had the good sense to pull the plug and allow the ice pad to get sorted and then go again with the intro.
Sadly (IMHO) Mumbles thought it appropriate to carry on and allow the intro to run its full course for ???
The Team regularly comes on to the ice to a very poor level of noise support. I think it would be quite reasonable to think that that would be a key attribute for a DJ to have to perform - get the crowd going. Compared with what has gone before, the present off ice is a poor comparison (IMHO)
Changes have been requested since the start of the season - even allowing for teething problems, waiting till next season to get things sorted won't tip the balance positively for any wavering ST fans deciding whether or not to renew their ST for next season.
It's not one game - there have been numerous requests for improvements/ changes regarding the off ice, but we're still waiting. At least with the On Ice the "Powers That Be" have recognised that there have been instances during the season when situations have occurred about which something needed doing - they've did something (not always right IMO), but at least they've did something.
As for reason(s) as to when the Zamboni gets emptied, I suggest you direct your enquiries to someone that either drives the Zamboni or at least works for Planet Ice.
