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.

Well if you start trying to do that much then of course you start to push into the next period. 50/50 tickets and a smoke break would add another 7-10 minutes at any arena and the intermission is only 15 minutes long.
