'cause I didn't know what a Zamboni was
It's an ice resurfacer

Clearly not from around here...
:-)
We were there!
My kids and I were there! It happened right away, as soon as the Zamboni got out on the ice. He didn't even make one trip around the rink.
They refunded everyone's money, but I couldn't make my kids wait in another line.
We're hoping it doesn't close for the season. We'd like to go back and skate for more than 15 minutes.
Was Eddie LeBec Underneath It?
It's a fair question.
This is why
We can't have nice things
Am I the only one
I have seasons B's tickets and am an adult, but I have thought for my entire life that it was zaNboni. I don't know what to say or think right now.
For what it's worth
The B's don't use actual Zambonis anymore (it's actually a brand, and they recently replaced them with Olympia resurfacing machines).
So Zamboni's are the Kleenex
So Zamboni's are the Kleenex of ice surfacing machines?

The important question
Did the Masshole driver spill his Dunks?
This is Boston!
They can't find someone who knows how to drive a Zamboni?!?
Probably because they can't
Probably because they can't find anyone who knows how to just drive.
It wasn't his fault
He hit the horn
Signaled too
With middle finger, not blinkah, silly.
Heard it was a she not a he. Hope reports she's ok and there are no other injuries are correct.
Hit a patch of ice!
Black ice!
Had the yellow light
And punched it. Clearly not at fault.
Unfortunately, this comes at no surprise
My wife and I went to skate on Thursday night, stayed 10 minutes and left. When we arrived they were kicking everyone off to resurface, and my god, what a shit show.
The ice was covered with what looked like about 2 inches of snow. It was so deep that the Zamboni was making little to no progress. In fact, they had kids (some in skates, some not) shoveling snow into the path of the resurfacer. Still no luck, not to mention dangerous.
I have played hockey for regularly 30 years and I have never seen such a pathetic display. An easy way to ruin the ice, the equipment and/or hurt someone.
I didn't know you had kids Carol

no texting while Zamboning

Crash cause?
Kehd was a pedestrian!
Always has right of way, even dashing in front of a Zamboni.
And esp. if making a Dunks run!
They painted the Zamboni to
They painted the Zamboni to look like a Green Line train and thought that was a good idea? Of course someone would end up crashing it.
