Just because moronic NHF fans *need* to have a victor via a skills competition does not make it right.

Neither does the Olympics- where time constraints allow for dumb rules.

Tie is a tie, shootouts are gimmicks to pacify fans.

So? We know that shootouts affect the standings, but can you offer a good reason why they should?

Probably no more point in continuing this. I'm not going to convice you to change your position on shootouts and you ain't gonna convince me to like them. And the fighting thing is a red herring.

A couple more things.

Try using "Preview Post". The quote feature is a little tricky to use and if you mistakenly delete one of the brackets, your post can have some gibberish.

I note you're a relatively new poster. Welcome. I don't think you deserve the negative reps. You've stated your opinion and IMO nobody should get negative reps for what their opinion is, only for how they express it.

To me personally, there is no more exciting thing to see than a college hockey game in the NCAA tournament in the 2nd or 3rd overtime and the winning goal is scored during regular play. The emotion and excitement of that moment cannot be duplicated in a shootout.

Hockey sudden death overtimes are the absolute best way that any sport has of resolving ties.

On the other hand, at the BU/St. Lawrence game 2000 regionals? by the end of the third overtime I was I was exhausted so that when the OT goal was scored, it was more relief than excitement.

If we are going to do some real arbitrary skills competition, how about something that's REALLY entertaining.

3 guys each team.

One pair run a race around the rink, including collisions, in hampster balls.

One pair pedal around the rink, including collisions, in trikes with extra large rear wheels.

And if not a sweep- score-o.

Personally, I like "whack-a-mascot" myself. O'Malley, anyone? ;)
