>Each National Hockey League regulation game is an ice hockey game played between two teams and is 60 minutes long. The game is composed of three 20-minute periods with an intermission of either 15½ or 17 minutes (if nationally televised) between periods.[54] Television timeouts are taken at the first stoppage of play after 6, 10, and 14 minutes of elapsed time unless there is a power play or the first stoppage is the result of a goal. TV timeouts are two minutes long, and occur three times per period

Really ! you keep banging on about how video technology has not affected NHL and now I see why. Its full of stoppage time already. So all play is limited and stops continually.
