I noticed this a couple times last season too. Prior to that, the edits were always where they should be and they never skipped over goals. There must be a different person doing it now and I agree, he’s a moron.Like many, didn't stay up to watch the game, so recorded one of the replays of it on BSD. Who's the f****n moron that edits these games for time? So we see 10 minutes of pregame chatter, the intermission reports, there's an interview with Larkin but they cut off the first 10 minutes of the third period where the go ahead goal was scored?!?! WTF? They do this on Tiger games too. It's ridiculous.

Old enough to have watched the Wings when #5 was Darren Veitch.So I gotta ask - how old are you guys?
For those who dislike the 3 on 3 OT and the subsequent shoot out must not have been around the 90s ‘Dead Puck Era’…
Love that enthusiasm!
Those kinds of mistakes make me wonder if they are trying to get AI to do it. Surely a human wouldn't like... skip goals?

There were ties then and I was ok with them. The point of the regular season was to get to the playoffs.
Wouldn't it be easier to program a computer to not skip goals than programming a person?
Quite the opposite. Insane skills with the skates and the stick is what separates hockey from all other "team sports." It's pretty simple, really: it's one of the most exciting plays in hockey, when the game is on the line, and it's you against the goalie. I love everything about it.
International playoff hockey involves the shootout. Why do you think that is?That’s awesome that you’re into the shootout and not at all trying to dissuade you from getting excited about it.
For me, and quite possibly others, the ability of 3-4 players on your team to make a move during a 1v1 with the goalie, and the ability of your goalie to stop 3-4 1v1s is not what should decide a game because there are literally 20 other players who can decide the outcome.
Playoff hockey doesn’t involve the shootout. Why do you think that is?
Same reason they don't play series in the playoffsInternational playoff hockey involves the shootout. Why do you think that is?
Player safety and fan interest coupled with multi-international broadcast contracts.International playoff hockey involves the shootout. Why do you think that is?
It's a more thorough way to determine the winner. OT and SO are a less thorough but more time-efficient and exciting way to determine the winner in a less important instance of regular season game.Do you have an answer for why the NHL doesn’t have the shootout in the playoffs?
You make perfectly valid points. But purely from a standpoint of efficiency, wouldn't it be fairly straightforward to transfer a fixed A/B interval of video before/after a given trigger (red light on, scoreboard change, etc)? Obviously not perfect, but the whole point of AI is ease of use to get very close, and something like 30 seconds before and 10 seconds after a goal would make for at least a good starting point.That’s an interesting question. Programming a computer to not skip goals is not necessarily easier than programming a person, because both tasks involve different challenges and trade-offs.
Programming a computer requires a clear and precise specification of the goals, the steps to achieve them, and the possible exceptions or errors that might occur. Programming a person requires a more flexible and adaptive approach, taking into account the person’s motivation, preferences, emotions, and feedback.
Some people might argue that programming a computer is easier because it is more deterministic and predictable, while programming a person is harder because it is more complex and dynamic. However, others might contend that programming a computer is harder because it is more rigid and constrained, while programming a person is easier because it is more creative and interactive.
The talent of the players absolutely decides every game. Not a soccer fan at all, but that last World Cup with the shootout? That was epic. Forsberg's shootout goal in the Olympics? Sports change and evolve with time.That’s awesome that you’re into the shootout and not at all trying to dissuade you from getting excited about it.

What's the saying, no matter what the question, the answer is always money? Fans will stay tuned in for a playoff game that goes to OT, but for a Tuesday night game in Buffalo in January? Not likely. Same reason why regular season baseball games were changed. Shorter, more exciting, more ratings, more revenue. It wouldn't surprise me if down the road, the playoff OTs were changed in the NHL.Let's get one thing clear.

I think you missed the last part of the sentance...
"less important instance of regular season game."
I don't think anyone (at least many) would want 3v3 or shootouts in playoffs.
However, for a regular season game? When stakes aren't as high, people need to go to work the Day after etc.
In the regular season you also have to consider getting rest for upcoming games, be able to travel etc.
Imagine playing a back to back with travel and the first games goes to 6 periods...
As long as you want a team to win (i.e. no ties) you need a gimmicky way to end regular season games. Whether that is 3v3, shootouts or some other form is ofcourse debatable, but in the end it's going to feel the same way anyway.
Unfortunately, they're not trying to appease us old timers.The day playoff OTs are changed is absolutely the day I stop watching the NHL.

Or a starting point to further train the AI, I suppose.

I don't know, man. I had ChatGPT write that response.
