Comments on: Breaking down the NHL’s best and worst at shootouts http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/21/breaking-down-the-nhls-best-and-worst-at-shootouts/ ProHockeyTalk on NBCSports.com Mon, 20 May 2013 01:55:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: flyersphan28 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/21/breaking-down-the-nhls-best-and-worst-at-shootouts/comment-page-1/#comment-91743 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 02:38:37 +0000 http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=825377#comment-91743 i agree with ur first two points, the 4 on 4 then the 3 on 3. then after that if no1 scores ( which is almost near impossible) do the stupid shootout. problem solved and 3 on 3 would be some of the most exciting hockey any one would ever see. imagine ovechikin backstrom and green vs malkin crosby and letang…( i hate the caps nd pengs but that would be some pretty exciting hockey right there )

Still tied? Another 5 min. overtime, 3 on 3. Still tied? Another 5 min. overtime, 2 on 2. When you get to 1 on 1 somebody will surely score. Still tied after 20 mins. of overtime? Have the goalies only in the shootout. Goalie on goalie. Now that would be hilarious…..

They could have got two points by winning in overtime— which can be accomplished in any number of overtime scenarios that are better than the shoot out.

Hope this trend doesn’t continue. The articles on this site are already light enough..jc

It would take less time and the chances of a goal being scored would go way up. If teams can’t score then, the don’t deserve 2 points. The 3 point games are equally stupid.

Backstrom can play all 3 periods and have Harding come in and play the shootout. Coaches don’t want to put a cold goalie in ever, which is why we suffer watching Backstrom.

I’ve said the Wild should pull him with 1:00 left in 4-on-4….

Rather have a tie than decide a game though an all-star game event.

That’s shocking, considering how bad the Flyers are in shootouts. Man I hate that gimmick.

Wish he was as good in the playoffs (besides 09)…
