get rid of that pressure meter in the middle of the ice..

So while we're at it, the game clock is running at 4x speed, while the pressure timer in real time.   That needs to be addressed.

Secondly, you should NOT immediately slow down if you still have stamina in your bar, even when there is pressure.   The exhaust engine should NOT kick in until you're out of stamina...actually exhausted.

Thirdly-  If you go on the offensive...you should stop losing stamina as if you are under defensive pressure, and the timer should go away once you cross the red line as you are, by point of fact no longer under defensive zone pressure.

They dropped the ball with this thing...good idea in theory...but they didnt need to introduce a handicap like this.   Pressure built up organically in previous games. whereas this feels fake, forced, and cheap.

It genuinely feels like this was introduced because all those teams that lost games because they whined about "b-b-but time on attack!" when all they did was pass it around the perimeter for 9 and a half minutes and only generate 5 shots because they kept trying to set up the cheese.
