Who decided points should be goals + assists?

Of course they would run with it in football once they start stopping the clock.

Never though of that angle of it, just the fact that like in a hostage ransom way the current model remove the possibility of ads break make sense for the fans to not want any change

It’s one aspect of it for sure. Many fans are lamenting the “commercialization” of the game, the billionaire/oil sheik/Russian oligarch bought teams, the ludicrous money involved, the sponsored arena names, the ads plastered everywhere, being priced out of tickets, the corruption within the governing bodies, and so on. They’ll bark at everything that could conceivably lead to new ways of selling the game out.

I remember reading about the 1994 World Cup, a lot of people thought it ridiculous that the United States were to host the tournament as they didn’t even have a national pro league at the announcement. People were also wondering how they would be able to sell all the tv advertisement they wanted, considering that there are no stoppages during each 45 minute half. I’ve read that the sponsored match clock was one of the clever inventions made during the 1994 World Cup.

Not only are there no ties anymore, there are no "losses" anymore when one team wins in overtime / shoot-out!!! Everybody wins!!

I love how the NHL's website will have headlines like "Capitals lose in overtime" or "Penguins beat Caps in overtime"... but then the same website doesn't add a "loss" to the Capitals' record. That makes perfect sense.

It's been back and forth.

From 1914-1930, it was just the one assist.
From 1930-1936, it was three assists
From 1936-1945, it was two assists.
In 1945-1946 I believe they went back down to one for that season only.
Since 1946, it's been two assists.

I'm not sure when assists became "automatic", but for sure in the 1910s there was discretion involved instead of just possession.

Had no clue they ever recorded 3 assists in the NHL, or that they went back to just 1 for a single season. Very strange lol
