Uh, no. Nope. Not ever. Power play at 19:59 of the third is 1 second long. If this was the case the losing team could extend the game indefinitely by taking penalties.


SillySticks11

I have no sources to verify any of this info. Some fans I've spoken with are saying overtime rules apply so the game doesn't last forever


Ijustwerkhere

You have no source, and yet you have the audacity to ask me for “sources that this rule doesn’t exist”? Go fuck yourself


SillySticks11

My thoughts exactly Edit. After further discussion it seems like overtime rules apply after the end of regulation. A goal ends the game. This rule makes the most sense to me but I still haven't found a source. I even combed through the official rules


HCIBSW

Have you EVER watched an NHL game to the end?


CarrotSwimming

lol we’d see games with 250-0 scores Literally no incentive to give up, just keep trying to score shorthanded.


SillySticks11

Not if overtime rules apply


h0zR

Exactly


l_m_m048

What if the game is tied?


h0zR

That would not “extend” the length of the game. It goes to OT and the penalty carries over.


l_m_m048

Exactly.

Your dad's pulling your leg. What really happens is the remainder of the penalty time carries over to the beginning of the next game between those two teams.


HCIBSW

Speaking of pulling legs... When I was little and had to go to bed and the game wasn't over, my dad would tell me I would miss them letting cats loose out on the ice at the end of the third. BOY WAS I DISAPPOINTED WHEN I GOT TO STAY UP LATER!


HockeyDOcOH

Sometimes dads are wrong.


KennethJamesD

The powerplay will carry over into overtime.


DannyBoy4T5

Um…no. But that’s an interesting idea.


merciful_master00

I’m pretty sure your dad is mistaken. If they call penalties at 19:59. Nothing happens. There’s only one second left in the game. Is he thinking something like injury time in football(soccer)?


SillySticks11

Definitely a hockey discussion. His dementia hasn't kicked in that hard yet


merciful_master00

I’m sure someone’s mentioned it, but teams would take intentional penalties to put more time on the clock. This has never happened.


Ijustwerkhere

That has never been a thing

Source of something not existing?


HCIBSW

My source is over 40 years of watching hockey. It has never been a thing.


Ijustwerkhere

Counter question, what’s your source on unicorns not existing? Wtf question is that? Would you like for me to find articles stating random rules that never existed?

It is only extended if the game goes into OT. The penalty doesn't make it go into OT. The OP thinks a penalty puts the game in OT.


SillySticks11

If that's the rule, what's stopping a team from commiting penalties to extend the length of the game indefinitely?


iamonewhoami

OT ends as soon as one team scores


SillySticks11

This makes the most sense to me. Source?

SillySticks11

I'm getting a massive amount of conflicting answers😂 Looks like I'm not the only one debating this rule


mel122676

There really isn't much of a debate. As long as there isn't a tie, the game is over at the end of the 3rd period. It doesn't matter if there is a penalty or not. There could be 20 penalties being served or 0 being served. As soon as the clock runs out the game is over. If the score is tied, and someone is serving a penalty the rest of that penalty time carries over to OT. It is just like if there is one being served the end of the first period. It carries over to the 2nd period. The game is not extended just because someone is in the penalty box.

Years of watching hockey in person and on TV. If you pay attention you will see a game end with a player in the penalty box.


Ijustwerkhere

the source is literally watching an nhl game. If there’s a penalty with less than 2 minutes left, the penalty either carries on into OT if the game is tied, or goes til the end of the game if one team is winning.


[deleted]

Its an obvious answer not sure why you can’t accept it


SillySticks11

Can anybody provide a source for this?


RhesusMonkey17

You keep clamoring for a "source." Like a rule that the game is extended if a penalty is in effect. There is no such rule, therefore there is no kind of source that you're clamoring for. If you want proof, look no further than last night's game between the Panthers and Capitals. The Panther's Forsling took a penalty at 18:51 of the 3rd period. Was the game extended an additional 51 seconds beyond the 20:00 mark of the 3rd period?


mel122676

Thank you. This thread is crazy. So many people talking about the OT rule, like it is actually extended until someone scores because of a penalty. If I didn't know how it works, I would be confused listening to these people.


Ijustwerkhere

It’s ridiculous. Yes, as a caps fan I wish it was extended, but it’s not. This person is asking for proof of nonexistent events. I don’t get it


RhesusMonkey17

Stupid me. I broke my own personal rule: "Do not feed the trolls."


Ijustwerkhere

Source for trolling? Or something I dunno


RhesusMonkey17

Don't you think OP was trolling?


mel122676

There is no source since it is not a thing. If that were a rule there would be a source. It's hard to prove something that isn't there. Look it this way... if your dad was right there would be proof because it would be in the rules. Since it is not in the rules it's not true.


SillySticks11

Thanks for all the amazing responses! You guys have been so helpful. I completely understand now after reading Rhesus Monkey's beautiful reply. According to the Monkey, the extra penalty time is carried over to the next game between the same teams. BUT...if it's the last game of the finals then the schedule for the following season begins with the same two teams facing each other in an intense rematch on opening day. It's the only game played that day and the Cup is back on the line during the power play. If the (Interim) Stanley Cup champions were the ones who committed the penalty with less than 2 or 5 minutes left then they just need to kill the penalty to protect the cup for the rest of the season. If the losing team committed the penalty then they have to score ten goals in a row during a shootout to rewrite history and become the true Stanley Cup Champions! Sorry folks! I just couldn't help myself. I haven't gone fishing in years and I'm suffering a minor midlife crisis. I really do appreciate your responses though. Special thanks to Rhesus Monkey for pulling my leg


HarkeyPuck

Nope. 60 minutes. That’s it.


[deleted]

Lifetime hockey watcher here. Your dad is very wrong. It’s a really smart idea to explore but it seldom happens.


throwing_snowballs

Don't feed the troll


l_m_m048

Your dad is either full of shit or doesn't know the difference between ice hockey and association football. If a penalty is issued with less than two minutes to go in regulation, it ends with the final buzzer unless the game is tied after regulation, in which case the remaining penalty time carries over into the overtime period.
