Deron,
   I was at the game and this is the first I heard of it, so it couldn't have
been too bad!  There definitely was no smoke on the ice.  Now, the press box
is right above the entrance to the concession area, so the announcers may
have gotten a blast from the burnt popcorn, but it didn't effect play and I
doubt anyone else in the rink even noticed.
