This is why puck drop should be no later than 8:04. Do all the anthems and crap before 8:00. Nobody cares about watching them on a TV broadcast. So dumb.
I think there is utility in starting slightly after the posted start time for no reason than accommodating the significant number of people that struggle to get anywhere on time in 2024, especially for 7pm weeknight games that are legitimate time crunches to get to for some.
It's annoying as f*** having a stream of people getting to their seats after the game has started, this at least helps that a bit. It's similar principle to telling the friend that is always late that your party starts 30 mins before it actually does.
