It was on the top page.

Actually, now that I look better, there are three threads, make sure you spank the other guy!

Shall we turn off the internet?

And what does that have to do with the TV time outs making all of the games even across the country? Especially since the rule pre-dates games being streamed by quite a while.

Every game I was at last season did at least 3 breaks per period... 5/10/15

You were televised through ESPN3, though.

It wasn't about the two teams on the ice, it was how the game was different with no TV. For instance, a team that isn't as deep has an advantage for TV games, when the non games they had to deal with the players they had. Those 3 min of known stops per period make a big difference WRT rest. Now all the games are the same, regardless.

I recall that but I never truly bought it since both teams on the ice are playing by the same rule in that game. Teams already play on different rink sizes with which I also have no issue.

But if the stoppages truly bring revenue into smaller market teams then I am more willing to tolerate them.

The TV timeouts exist for all games to make all games the same. The rule was put in place well before streaming was like it is- and it was because games that had TV coverage had timeouts, and others didn't. Which does make the games very different. Some conferences had a lot of TV games, some had almost none- so the rule was to make all the games the same.

Now it works out to allow advertising.

ECAC doesn't, with exception to now the 10 minute rule to shovel (they don't do 3 breaks in a period unless it is televised).

Not all leagues did that. The Big Roll-a-D20 might, and I was a little surprised AHC does. ECAC doesn't, with exception to now the 10 minute rule to shovel (they don't do 3 breaks in a period unless it is televised).

Went back two pages and didn’t notice the any other.

A quick google search didn’t show the change to the slashing definition. Anyone have any insight on this?

I think it's the interpretation. A slash to the body is always a penalty. A tap on the stick and the player drops the stick shouldn't be.

But that's me, not our overlords.

While most games are not on TV most are streamed lived. Those timeouts allow commercials to help pay for the streaming. Last season I watched BU games (men's and women's) played at Maine, Northeastern, BC, UNH and other schools that stream for free and if the timeouts help pay for the streaming I have no problem sitting through them when I am at BU games.
