CARDINAL 205 Posted March 26, 2013 https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/7167859712/h59FB859C/ What would you suggest replace the shootout than Steven? I think at the very least that the losing team shouldn't earn a point for losing either in Overtime or the Shootout. Why would you reward a team that fails to win the game, that makes no sense whatsoever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JetsFan4Life 542 Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) My problem isn't teams losing and only getting one point because like you said they should win in regulation or overtime and get the two....but it's the teams getting two points for winning in the gimmick shootout. If we installed the three points for a regulation win I'd be more okay with it....but still hate it. And as for the "exciting" factor (which personally I could care less for), don't you think if we added a 3 on 3 five minute overtime that would be just as, if not more, exciting than the shootout? Can you imagine the back and forth in that? Edited March 26, 2013 by JetsFan4Life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blotsfan 2,112 Posted March 26, 2013 I wouldn't hate 3 on 3 overtime, but some still would end in ties. And sports are meant to be entertainment. I'm much more entertained by having a game decided by a shootout than if it were to just be a tie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick 791 Posted March 26, 2013 How do you think a shootout isn't exciting? I don't think penalties are fair in soccer but they're definitely thrilling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never said shootouts aren't exciting. I said I could care less about the excitement factor when determining what is or isn't fair to decide games with playoff implications.

Piggly Wiggly 960 Posted March 28, 2013 Habs-Bruins was pretty great tonight. Habs went up 2-0 to start the game, Bruins led 5-3 with about 8 minutes left, Habs tied it with under 10 seconds left and won it in a SO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

housemd 338 Posted March 28, 2013 I didn't expect us to grab him cause I thought it was completely unnecessary to get him. He's a great player,though and I hope keeps playing well in Pittsburgh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
