If it takes you longer than 18 minutes to use the washroom and get a beer you need to change up your planning.

For some bathrooms it's true. At the Montreal game I literally waited 15 minutes in line for the bathroom (which only has 8 stalls btw) and another few minutes for the whistle to blow.
I only missed 5 or 6 minutes of the game in the third but I also was in the bathroom lineup during the second intermission. If I had to grab a beer as well? Easily add 3 or 4 minutes playing time to that. The Montreal factor obviously matters and it's not the same for an Arizona game.
I also realize I was at the west end of the rink just outside sec 227 and other parts are better with more bathroom stalls but where I was at I can easily see someone missing half the third if they have to use the washroom and grab drinks, 50/50 tickets, have a cigarette..etc.
