MelbuFrahma4 02/18/23 8:27:14 PM #1:	I rarely watch the sport but ABC is airing a game. And so much stuff happened before it started like the navy doing a march. Both teams walking out. Two singers/players telling the crowd to make some noise. Then this dude came out with a dog and dropped a puck for the two players to fight over. Then we had to wait for the players to shake the dogs hand before moving on. All of it took about 20-22 minutes as the game finally started after all of that. When I watch football it seems everyone is already on the sidelines and they jump in for the coin toss and the game begins within 3 minutes. Or basketball they hop in during the jump ball. --- "We'll never see Day-Lewis and Kubrick, or Kurosawa and Eastwood, but we have seen Bale and Nolan, a cinematic dream pairing come to life!" <cite>MelbuFrahma4 posted [p:971659271] in Do all Hoc...

opopopza 02/18/23 8:30:13 PM #2:	Typical NHL games are usually 7-8 minutes after their stated start times, so a 7PM game has Puck drop at like 7:07PM. I'm guessing if it's on a big broadcast station like ABC they are maybe trying to milk it a bit more than normal. --- Can you say David Hasselhoff? <cite>opopopza posted [p:971659345] in Do all Hoc...

Really felt odd how it kept going on and on. I guess the games indoors start faster. Like they jump straight to the puck fight. --- "We'll never see Day-Lewis and Kubrick, or Kurosawa and Eastwood, but we have seen Bale and Nolan, a cinematic dream pairing come to life!" <cite>MelbuFrahma4 posted [p:971659381] in Do all Hoc...

MabusIncarnate 02/18/23 9:14:24 PM #12:	Outdoor games are special events, they usually have an honorary faceoff and whatnot. As said above, a normal game is the anthem and puck drop, usually just a few minutes after start time. --- "I'm tired of this city, all this toil and strife.
