They usually only do that in their own end, it would be worse if there was no player there at all than one without a stick.Not sure if it was mentioned but when a player breaks his stick and stays on the ice. You’re almost useless without a stick. Go get it and get back in the play.
Often the guy without a stick ends up being stuck out there for 30 seconds or more unable to really do anything. They could have gone to the bench in about 5 seconds even from their defensive end. A replacement could be ready to jump on right away.They usually only do that in their own end, it would be worse if there was no player there at all than one without a stick.
Fans that attend live games hate ties, especially STH. That ship has sailed.Sorry if someone posted this already but I want to bring back regulation ties. Each team gets 1 point after 60 minutes and its settled. No more people complaining about loser points or having to spend extra time trying to figure out how many wins a team really has.
Ironically my pet peeve is people who think ties in this day and age is in anyway viable or wouldn't be massively unpopularSorry if someone posted this already but I want to bring back regulation ties.

Imagine having 5 cups and saying this like its some ice cold take. Try losing game 7's in the SCF twice in your lifetime with no cups. You sweet summer child.Losing in Game 7 of the SCF.
While I too preferred a system with ties, the point system is far more frustrating. The cynicism the NHL in having in an inherently unfair system in which some games are worth 2 pts and others 3 (so that true optimists and those naive people who don't know any better can call their well-below average teams .500 teams) is a sad reflection on human character and vies, for me, with the inconsistency of the Department of Player Safety and "game management" by game officials for most frustrating "thing" in hockey.. (Can anyone tell from that wording that I find something frustrating?Fans that attend live games hate ties, especially STH. That ship has sailed.
Fix the point system.
Seems like the players have no desire for that, or might have been implemented by now.NHL: 5 minute 3 on 3, play 10.
