Okay.  Totally unrelated.  But no more hockey questions forum exists.

Why doesn't the NHL, to speed up the game time, simply regard a bounce off the netting, the same as a bounce back off the glass? Perhaps because its more unpredictable?  But a lot of hockey bounces are unpredictable.  I don't get why they moan about penalty challenge timeouts, and video review time, but simply allowing teams to play through a bounce off the netting would also save some time and keep the game going.

Game wasnt invented with netting. It was an added feature to protect fans. No fans no netting. No netting means puck left the rink.
