It is one of the reasons I want a shot clock put in

The specialization by face-off man has made face-offs absurd win percentages absurd. Just 10 years ago, Hopkins was winning with guys that stayed on the field. There should be no way a guy/team wins 14 face-offs in a row. They need to get the wings back in play instead of the domination that it is.

Take for example when the score was 2-1 - Denver at the start of the 2nd quarter. Denver held the ball took some shots but not one would I call in a highly threatening area but it was enough to keep the stall call off. There is no reason a team should be rewarded with possession of the ball for 4 minutes without putting it on cage.
