I agree, anything to lessen the pauses. I hate the teams who are scouting you on their laptops and quit in the 1st 2mins. If you're even an average elite team, you get quit on.

they really should have pre-game warmups (for most sports) to establish any lag, then once that's complete, game on. I don't believe in using actual ranked gameplay to determine lag and quit. Have a quick shootout to start the game and if there's lag it will definitely be seen there.

Speaking of shootouts, that's something I'd like to see in EASHL after 1 or 2 OT's.
