Wait, what the hell is this half period crap? I don't remember them doing it last year, other than when Zetterberg got hosed out of a breakaway in OT.

Don't watch the puck watch the players.

I'm not even trying to be a dick, once you start watching where the players are going and facing and what they're doing, you don't need to look for the puck because the players' body language basically tells you where it is. Also you'll see much more going on than you do just tracking the puck (what the D are doing, where other players are going to make a play/keep the cycle going, etc).

This is legitimately good advice and severely increase yoir enjoyment of the game.

Yeah, I'm not having an issue with who has the puck at any given time, it's more with tracking after a pass, or especially a shot.

Also, it seemed like no one registered the 10:00 horn for a couple of seconds.

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

They did it in Pittsburgh when the rink's conditions (wind direction iirc) were different on either side. It seems like they're doing it to keep team's time dealing with weird conditions (sun glare, wind, poo poo weather, etc) even so it's a fair game.

Didn't they also do the half-period stuff in Michigan last year because of the heavy snow?

They did it in Buffalo too, at least in overtime.

They might be producing more if they'd quit it with the low chance shots from the blue line.
