Get rid of the most ridiculous gimmick in pro sports
Yeah it's sometimes annoying and a bit of a coin flip but it's good for viewership and fan excitement. I'd leave it alone.
Get rid of it, play 4x4 for 5 minutes, 3x3 until a goal is scored....
ties are more stupid than shootout imo. So if its to bring back ties, no, keep shootout 100%
I like that Playoffs OT is special/different then reg season OT. So i wouldn't want to just have 5v5 OT until goal, keep that for playoffs.
So having 3v3 OT till someone scores is good.
Added caveat - if you get a penalty in a 3 on 3 - it does NOT become a 4 on 3. It becomes a 3 on 2. And then a 3 on 1 with 2 penalties, etc. adding players is stupid.
This x100!!MLB doesn't end the game with a home run derby if the game is tied after 10 innings. To me the shootout is about as stupid as if MLB were to go to that to decide a game.

The shootout needs to go, it's an awful way to decide a game...let the guys play until the end.
It's the same kind of idea in the the home run derby is a skills competition, as is the shootout.The largest sport in the world decides their major championships on shootouts, and soccer is much more comparable to hockey than hockey is to baseball. Comparing MLB to NHL has never made much sense to me.
What exactly is "the end" to you?
