Timing question

[waltjp]

First off, smack the official for being so quick on the whistle. Secondly, turn off the damn horn.

The horn does not signify the end of the period. There's an expected delay between the whistle and the clock operator's reaction time.

That being said - I'll put 1 second on the clock, set the box and blow the ready for play. I'd also be willing to bet that the mechanical horn will be disconnected next week if it was the home team that gave up the long run.
