The ice was a problem the last two years cuz of outside temperatures but that wasn't a problem this year. The snow seemed to annoy the players when trying to stickhandle and when the snow stopped in the 2nd period the game was much more fun to watch.
Question for hockey refs: there was a faceoff with 2:02 left in the 2nd period where the guy who drops the puck (referee or linesman?) spent about 20 seconds talking to the players as he faked dropping the puck several times. He looked like he was lecturing one of the guys. What happens in these exchanges?

The face off I saw where there was an exchange was where the linesman had players switch out due to not following instructions/crossing into the restricted zone before the puck drop was at 1:22 left in the 2nd. Right after the goal became dislodged.
The exchange varies depending on the players & the game situation.
