Young Cole Perfetti certainly seemed outraged by this one-time-only “locker room experience”…

"It's different. The ground is cold from being on top of the ice. When you take your shoes off, it's a little chilly on the feet," Winnipeg rookie Cole Perfetti said. "But we knew it was temporary. We knew what we were coming into. It's unique. It's pretty cool to be the first team to ever be a part of this. It's weird. But it's cool."

But you do you internet…

Perfetti was also said the atmosphere was fun and that the ice quality was great.


EDIT: To add, the game looked super fun last night. I'll have to make my way to AZ for a game at some point.

How many of you folks who never watch the Coyotes stayed up to hate watch this on your Friday night?

Sad.

That is a slippery slope. While viewership may be "up" for the game. I would hope that MANY were watching. As it is important to grow the game.

Viewers of course watched. It was an opening night of a new arena in a new city for a sports team.
I would imagine there were ALOT of extra viewers who watched to see the atmosphere.
That is a given.
Jets fans watch regargless. It's a sport they want to follow. Coyotes' fans the same.

People all over the world watched to see just what it was going to be. Plain and simple.

I thought it was a GREAT presentaion. The place looks great. The atmosphere dropped off more than I thought it would, even during the Coyotes leading.

No complaints.
I hope to head there after the new year.

The Coyotes first arena didn't have a goal horn. Just a Coyotes howl.

See it in Tocchet's goal below at about 2:40



Edit: to clarify, there was a goal song (Werewolves of London) but no blaring horn.

No player is going to diss the Coyotes. They certainly have directives not to make the Coyotes look bad. But his comments certainly don't make it seem like it's all that nice.

Nah, the temp team facilities are embarrassing for sure. The game and arena atmosphere looked great. It is what it is.

Yeah, the ice seems to be getting good reviews and hopefully the atmosphere will be fun for what it is but I just mean...people coming in with comments, perhaps they're genuinely felt but it's hard to know. Players will be told not to shit on the Coyotes and that's just kind of normal.

Why did the Yotes leave the original place they shared with the Suns?

In the postseason, that place was rocking.

That was mistake #1 (Leaving there) in the Yotes situation.

It wasn't an NHL arena. In addition, they used to have seats where you couldn't even see what was happening on the ice.

It was always meant to be a temporary venue for the yotes.

I'd imagine that one thing the smaller crowds would make a little easier to maintain the ice just from having a lot less bodies generating heat.

The ice.
Climate absolutely is a factor. Any occupied structure, residential, commercial, or "pop-up" are required, to provide substantial air movement. Be it hvac, fans, even windows open, until full movement of fresh air are provided.
Mullett arena has certainly provided that.

The ice "plant" inside the mentioned, is working as it is designed. And, it apparently, pretty well. (As many employees re:players) have commented.

4600 people in a arena designed, approved, and open, is, doing just fine.
Heat rises.

Goal horns were not a regular fixture of this league until the 1990s. Strangely enough, the league existed for 75 years before that.

Yes, this is a terrible look for the NHL and for the sport as a whole, but a lack of a goal horn is not why.

I think the Habs were the last team to institute a goal horn in the early 2000s.

Nobody ever complained about the lack of a horn there from what I recall.
