It’s not a Bettman thing. It’s a hockey thing. It’s done to prevent fights at the end of games, not in the NHL, but in every other context that has no spotlight.

This is incorrect. It's done to keep games close and it isn't something refs are taught from day 1, I know a couple CHL refs who would dispute that. It absolutely was introduced by Bettman, Kerry Fraser has admitted as much.
