To be fair 18 minutes is way too long. Yesterday’s game was supposed to start at 9:30, of course it started like 15 minutes after that. It was 11:30 and we were halfway through the 2nd period… 2 hours for 30 minutes of play. Starting to feel like baseball tbh.

Remind her that at least the game isn’t played two minutes at a time to gain inches for a field goal in between two hours of commercial breaks.

If you wait 45-60 minutes to start the game, you can DVR it, skip all the commercials and intermissions, and catch back up by the end. It’s the only way I watch any sport anymore. If you have the discipline to stay off your phone, it’s has the same suspense of watching live.

Sorry other sports but we need more than one break to grab more beer

My wife fell asleep with 5 minutes left in the 3rd the other day.
When she woke up 10 minutes later she was surprised the game was over. She thought she was sleeping for an hour+

Hockey has half time between each quarter.

Outside of the ability to go grab food and drink it’s mostly because the condition of the ice deteriorates too fast to only have one intermission. Hockey (a long time ago) did only have one intermission at halftime but the ice was trashed.
The ability to clean the ice twice is why we see the quick, smooth and crisp play that we do and not a bouncing puck everywhere, so as annoying as it might be the product would suffer without it.

The intermissions are for beer & snack runs, duh.
