We’ve recently seen Vancouver Canucks rookie sensation Elias Pettersson do so in a game. 


Sure it’s a smart play and most players have the reflex to look up above centre ice to see how much time there is left, however, the NHL is reportedly working on something to eliminate this problem, that could result in dangerous hits similar to suicide passes when the player doesn’t see another coming his way because he’s too busy watching the clock.

There remains several details to be worked out, such as size, number of positions (two or four), and conflict with advertising space, however player agent Allan Walsh tweeted about this much-talked about solution last night and fans were quick to react.
