Only if we agree that offside reviews will only be done during commercial breaks.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Yeah, go ahead and ruin the atmosphere/momentum of a game more. So dumb.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Anything for another dollar.

The league made it clear in recent years they care more about ad revenue than the TV viewing experience so I expect them to go ahead with this.

 

[TanguaySauce]

That’s probably what - 6 more FanDuel commercials per game?

 

[Dotter]

NHL trying their hardest to decrease viewership. They already have too many ads... getting almost as bad as HFboards spammy forum. It's gross.

Isn’t that just the world now?

Get rid of the anthems.

Take your hf experience to the next level and BET on how many likes this will get, comments and if a mod will threaten to fight him over something completely unrelated.

A change no one would even notice if it wasn’t publicized, but they will bitch about incessantly since it was.

Let's check. Odds are at the top of your screen

Do they know how long it takes to take a leak and buy a drink in the intermission ?

Now?

Can Dallas decline like they have with the jersey advertisement? Our franchise will not stoop to these pathetic sell out levels.

mf no wonder it felt like the commercials lasted half a century

Probably not, but it would be pretty funny if they just continued to play while there were still half a minute or commercials left each time.

Don't forget the guy feeding his cat Oscar the brand new DUSTY KIBBLE!

 

[Sasha Orlov]

This change is gonna make me lose my house on Bet365

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

How about they cap coaches challenge to 30 seconds?

 

[NVious]

There's too much Hockey for us commercial fans, I'm so sick and tired of having to endure the likes of McDavid, Matthews, Makar and others when I could be getting AMAZING offers from BetMGM, an AWESOME COUPON from DoorDash and learning what medication I should be talking my doctor about.

 

[blundluntman]

No worries everyone, they'll put this on the backburner once they find a way to make LED visors that display gambling ads

 

[1989]

Remember how helmet and jersey ads were only supposed to be a temporary solution because of the loss of revenue during CoVID?

Remember how Bettman said he would fight tooth and nail before NHL jerseys had ads on them?

Now?

Yuval Harari makes a strong argument that we were better off (or at least more sustainable) as semi-agrarian/nomadic folks, but that’s a whole ‘nother matter. All I know is that there’s a “man” worth $400 billion wondering where all the money went. Hmm. Big mystery there.
