You need to think that a hockey game is just not a hockey game this day and age. There are a lot of things that are involved in this. Is it safe for fans to travel for the game, especially if coming a great distance. Is it safe to have employees of the arena travel? If they find that their is risk of fans and employees being injured is higher than the reward of having the game played on time they would postpone it. It is not that hard to postpone a game, just move a game to Sunday afternoon, and I'm sure you will not get many complaints. IMO any compromise in safety, even if it is to one individual merits a postponement, that doesn't mean if you have tickets to the game tomorrow and I-94 is closed, do not call and try and get the game postponed, i'm speaking from a general safety view.
