Question: what is the longest time between whistles in NHL history? Has there ever been a full period?
I don't know the answer, and I ask because of a few seasons ago where the Islanders were playing the Coyotes (I think), the Isles took a 5 min major at the end of the first period. They didn't put a guy in the box at the start of the second, because they were waiting for a whistle.
The play went something like 7 minutes before the whistle. So the Isles went that long with a man disadvantage.
