Period

I was in my mother's ICU room and the USA-Swiss hockey game was on.

I was flabbergasted when the 2nd period ended with Team USA being denied the first goal in a scoreless game.

If the puck is still in the air and headed for the goal with time remaining, the period shouldn't instantly end when the clock reaches zero.

It's not that way in basketball or football.

It made the sport go from hockey to hokey and the scientific community is united in that fact.

They're lucky it was not a deciding factor in the game.
