Shootouts are LAME
Even though the team I root for came out ahead this time I agree. I?m sorry to say that I feel this is something we will have to live with from now on. It?s the only way the NHL can get people who are not interested in hockey to watch. I?m sure you have been in a bar during a game and when there is a shootout everything else stops and all the ?pink hats? cheer or groan and then go back to their beer while you and I are still talking about the game. There are many things the NHL does that I don?t care for (too many teams get into the playoffs, etc.). I guess they need to make money but I hope they don?t turn it into the NBA.
At this point in my life root for the Rangers but if anyone besides them, the Bruins, Canadiens, Malpe Leafs, Red Wings or Blackhawks win the Cup I feel cheated and that the integrity of the game has suffered.
