NHL games have significantly more than 15 minutes of play.

You’re thinking of NFL, but that’s also wrong.

You're right, I meant NFL and autocorrect got me, but my timing is correct. There is not significantly more. The longest reference I can find is 18 minutes. 15 mins or less in a 3 hour plus show is the norm. Ridiculous.
