I wish nhl went to 3 2 1. Teams should be rewarded for winning in regulation. Shootout and overtime wins should not have the same weight. Plus if you lose in over time you shouldn’t get a point a loss is a loss. Back in the day when they had ties it made sense to spilt the one point but getting a point for losing in overtime is dumb.
Now the shootout was all the hype when it first came about now it’s kind of run it’s course. I don’t get excited about it as much as I use to. Plus did you see that one leafs goal? It looked liked dude lost the puck got it back shot and scored. The angles and all the stuff they do seems unfair. Plus if you lose in the shutout why are you getting a point you lost!!
Agreed. To me a shootout should simulate a breakaway. There is no way guys would do all that crap, skate out towards the boards and back in during a breakaway.
