Not a fan of this at all, so it’s most definitely coming to the NHL.

Theres usually 3 TV timeouts so it's really only an extra 30 seconds per period so not a huge difference enough for me to care.

They only just went from 17 minute intermissions to 18 minute intermissions in the last 10 or so years.

They were 17 minutes long in the regular season for as long as I can remember.

I think overtime intermissions are only 15 minutes in the playoffs though.

I actually think it could help game quality and raise revenue, so I think it’s a win/win.

Also, 30 more seconds for me to get back to my seat from a bathroom break. Win/win/win.

Did they not get the memo that while trades are allowed, please don’t overshadow the 4 Nations with these blockbusters?

I mostly lurk on Twitter but I still have these bad takes burned into my memory from when Darren Dreger posted that Pittsburgh signed Andonovski to an ELC. Mostly people acting like Dreger said Andonovski was going to immediately flank Crosby or something. Or others thinking they were Nostradamus in predicting that Andonovski wouldn't be a future top 6 NHL forward.

It was almost like Pittsburgh had traded away a bunch of draft picks and needed some free agents to fill out its AHL roster.
