The shootout has lost its flare. There, I said it. I have watched too many great games be decided by a shootout when they could have easily been solved by additional overtime minutes. When the shootout was introduced in 2005, it added a skill element that the game previously lacked. Whether it was Pavel Datsyuk’s […]
