Who’s up for a 7 hour intermission?
After one period of play in the outdoor game between the Colorado Avalanche and Vegas Golden Knights, the NHL has decided to wait for the sun to go down before they play the final 40 minutes.
With the first intermission dragging on for about an hour and fifteen minutes, Gary Bettman and the NHL decided to push back the resumption of the Avalanche’s outdoor game to 9pm local time, 10pm MT, after ice troubles plagued the teams in the first period. The game will move from NBC to NBCSN.
Players and officials were seen consistently tripping on the ice in this new, unique experiment the NHL is trying out.
