In game three there were a few times that there was a ice hockey stick on the ice during play. Why was the game not stoped to keep the ice clean of debris?
Originally posted by usmc7257I figured that is what was happening. It seemed to me that if a player should step on the ice hockey stick he could be injured. I have seen about five regulation NHL games and I have not seen a ice hockey stick on the ice for such a long time before when there was no fight. I guess game three was a good game. All I saw was the last thirty minutes or so of regulation time.
