theminister Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 This is a simple poll to gauge the opinions of CDC users regarding the length of NHL intermissions. Currently, the standard NHL intermission is 17 minutes in length as outlined in the Official Rules. http://www.nhl.com/i...ge.htm?id=26322 34.2 Intermissions - For the purpose of keeping the spectators informed as to the time remaining during intermissions, the Game Timekeeper will use the electronic clock to record the length of intermissions. The clock will start for the intermission immediately at the conclusion of the period. Intermissions are seventeen minutes (17:00) in length, unless otherwise notified. If there are unusual delays for any reason, (e.g. altercation, building, ice, or ice resurfacing problems) it is important to use discretion in starting the clock.

AriGold Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Dear lord no, for 7pm games I don't get out of the building till around 9:50 then 15 min to get out of the city and 30 back to Langley. Just fine the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 TV companies won't like it. For one, it pushes back their 9:30/10pm programming; another reason lies in potential OT/shootout scenarios where it then gets even more unpredictable.

hudson bay rules Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 So we'd miss another 6 min of our televised game if and earlier game goes late? No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 I didn't realize it was only one more minute. I am fine with it - as I usually PVR games, and then fast forward... and when I am at the game, I am in no rush to get home... so an extra 9 minutes isn't really something to worry about. As you said, it would allow more revenue generation through concessions sales, and commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Actually it would only be 6 minutes (for two intermissions plus a potential for 1 minute more before OT). I am quite surprised that people would find this so strongly inconveniencing. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thema Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 What a great idea; maybe we could have 4 hour long games. Oh well at least if would give people like Shorty and Garrett more time to complain about the officiating etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Simply no, sometimes it feels forever for an intermission to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greetingsfrombrazil Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I watch every game from my pc, and the intermission is the worst part of the game for me. Even if I watched it in the arenas, I would rather the 17 minutes, wouldn't botter 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiDeN Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Make it shorter, and cut out the break between 3rd period and OT. No break at all. Just keep playing until the next whistle and then make it 4 on 4. I think the breaks are too long to begin with. 15 min should be maximum. 10 minutes would be ideal.
