Sometimes two teams play an exciting game that you feel like "hey, we worked hard, I'll be happy to take a 1-1 tie tonight". For example, Buffalo and Calgary played a game about 2 weeks ago - chances, fights, high-flying action that ended overtime tied 1-1. Oh, but there had to be the ****ing shootout because there HAS to be a winner!
And I even say that despite the Sabres winning that game in the shootout. What I hate is that Montreal has EIGHT wins in OT or the SO so far this season. Carolina has four wins - three in the shootout. Didn't Edmonton have a crapload of OT/SO wins a few years ago too? Like 18 in a single season? It was like the only thing that prevented an epically bad record. MAKE EVERY GAME WORTH THE SAME!
Get rid of it. The sooner the better. But if you're going to keep it, don't touch my Stanley Cup playoffs, and if you're going to highlight the stars, have them take their helmets off to shoot. Also, make every game worth three points, but that's an idea that's already been killed by the NHL. Why? Because it makes sense.

But I'd agree with that.
