Do players check their phones between periods?

[digmor crusher]

If I owned a business the only time I would allow my employees to look at their phone is on breaks. If I was an NHL coach, no phones during the intermissions. What is it with people who have an addiction to look at a phone every 5 minutes. Brutal.

For the most part they don't, this starts at the junior level.

 

[King'sPawn]

I didn't know players get periods. That would be a long time to go without checking their phone though.

 

[kingsholygrail]

They check their gacha games.

 

[GreeningOil]

Shit posting on HF between periods

I would if I was an NHL’er

 

[Em etah Eh]

Gotta check the live odds to see if they need to make any additional bets...

 

[Sniper99]

Oh for sure, they come on here to see all the men's league PP QB's on here goin "Why didnt you shoot there?" or the Be a GM freaks making ridiculous trade proposals involving their names even though the trade deadline has passed.

I know Marner and Matthews browse tiktok in between playoff periods

entire team does

 

[Fatass]

why wouldn't they?

Wouldn’t they be reviewing the previous period on iPads with coaches and seeing ways to improve play so they have the best chance of winning? They do that even during the game while on the bench, right? So unless the player is expecting an important message, why would they put using their phone over what’s needed done for winning? A quiet room sure doesn’t sound like a winning room.

So you would basically have to pay your employees to not look at their phones because they would simply find conditions elsewhere better. Your choice.

It's funny but you would probably be perfectly fine with them having the radio play in the background entire day.

Another question is should they? Or would you allow it as the head coach?

I’d say f*** no. No phones at practice or during games. They’re too distracting and everyone needs to be hyper focused on their play.

LMAO. Social media is literally designed and innovated that way. Instant endorphin rush - quick focus, no attention span needed. Facebook and 'classic' Twitter are too slow for today's consumers just as books or even videos an hour+ were 15 years ago. Let your mind run wild and imagine what's the next big thing to come up.

Your everyday 'employer' and they're 'strict' sense of rules is nothing compared to the level of social conditioning going on right now. 'Internet life' will become more important than 'real life' a lot sooner than you may think.

Do you use your phone on lunch or break?

Do you use your phone on lunch or break?

They're not on lunch or break, they're working during intermission too. They're usually talking with the coaches or their teammates about the game, discussing what adjustments need to be made, fixing up any injuries or equipment issues they sustained during the previous period, eating, or going over video. They're not just relaxing for 18 minutes until the next period starts.

 

[waitin425]

of course they do!!!!

 

[Negan4Coach]

If they do, then they deserve a coach like this

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

According to Marty Biron while he played for the rangers they lost phone access after Sean Avery was making dinner reservations between periods.

It led to….

…. Sloppy seconds

 

[Ambisextrous]

If a goalie wants to for his distraction or whatever sure, otherwise nah only in emergency cases or checking scores

 

[Puckstop40]

Bednar for sure reads HF Avs to see what adjustments need to be made.
