It's a slow news day here at Hockey Talk. Steve is up north camping under the stars and I'm left to toil away at my office desk..."working".
Some quick newsbits.
1. MLSE is going to be upgrading the ice at the ACC. They're apparently dropping millions into the project. Plans include installing a new dehumidifying system, scheduling fewer non-hockey events...and turning down the thermostat.
I can vouch for the humidity in the ACC being a problem. The last time me and the gf were there we started getting dripped on halfway through the event. At first we just thought the group behind us was getting rambunctious with their beer, then we realized that we were sitting under a cooling pipe. Water was condensing along the bottom of it and periodically dripping on us.
More annoying then anything else, but it does go to show that perhaps they aren't far off the mark in thinking they need to work on their dehumidifiers.
2. Just in time for those shiny new condos, MLSE is going to do some reno work on the ACC. At a price tag of 24 million dollary doos MLSE is going to be removing the west side of the building and replace it with a glass atrium. The atrium will then link up the ACC to the new condos being built in the new downtown MLSE playland.
You're forgiven if you fell asleep during this post.
