I don't like the shootout because it's a gimmick, an individual skills competition that has no place in a team game.
But I'll be damned if it's not exciting to watch.

You don't even watch it? If they win it, it's an extra point. And points are so valuable. In a compressed season, points are worth even more than usual. Points are like gold. Points are what gets a team into the playoffs. Points are... I can't think of a good way to describe their importance. Someone wanna help me out?
The shootout is pretty much on par with the FoxTrax they tried to roll out a while back. It's an advent for the pink hats. Real fans hate it because it sucks.
and this is what finally drove me icky balooky when it came to Dale as a P by P guy...."Well the only reason Bruins fans hate it is because the Bruins are so bad at it". (sigh) really Dale? That's your final answer?

As someone who never gave a crap what Dale said (usually because it was woefully uninformed, dumb, or flat out wrong), I can honestly say that doesn't surprise me he'd say that. The shootout is an abomination and a horrible way to end a game. I'd rather they just go back to a tie after a single OT period if they're not willing to go multiple OTs.
FWIW, only foo foo soccer fans like that shoot out crap because well, it's soccer, and it sucks too...

Give me back my ties.
