Went to the Penguins/Sharks game tonight. As soon as the Zamboni comes out on the ice I told my wife look that things leaking tranny fluid. By the time it hits center ice on its first pass it let loose. Looked like a massacre happened. Then the driver gets stuck on the ice/tranny fluid and has a hell of a time getting it off the ice. Took them a while to get it all cleaned up. Finished the game on one Zamboni. Guess they'll be calling ATS or Suncoast on Monday.

Sorry for the bad pics they're from my camera phone and I couldn't figure out how to make them bigger.

 

That thing is smoking like a detroit too

 

HOLLY COW!! It looks like someone died on the ice!!!!

 

Yeah, are you sure the Flyers weren't in town?

 

lol i wish i was there to see that lol
i was watching a LJMHQ in my town while and getting sigh on a small screen on canadien taking a beating from columbus
a buddy of mine got 4 pass VIP on top of the ice,free beerS and all

 

Sharks announcers were saying late in the game that a hydrolic line gave way. I watched most of the game, missed all the scoring [:@] did see the shootout though.

 

Those Zamboni machines have a hydrostatic transmission, like a Bobcat or a John Deere lawn tractor. This one probably blew a hydraulic hose.

I grew up in Minnesota, where hockey is king. I've seen a lot of Zambonis resurfacing ice, but never seen one malfunction like that. What a mess!

 

That looks like what us southern boys call a "Meat Plow".

 

With all that red on the ice it kinda reminds me of a Redwings/Avalanche playoff games from a few years back.....

 

This year is like that for the Pens vs Flyers. Remeber last year when the Flyers went 0-8 versus the Pens.

The funny thing was Iceberg (the penguin mascot) was on the ice at that time screwing around. Looked like he got ran over. They ended up just milling all the fluid up with the other zamboni. I'msure they called Safety Clean and had it disposed of properly.
