Heh. Didn't mean to revive "is a shootout good or bad" discussion with my post. I was speaking more personally since Carolina sucks at it.
Me personally, I'd rather it be a 3-2-1 point system or an all-or-nothing system if shootouts are to be used (just wins and losses, as it were). Maybe do the ten-minute OT as well to reduce the amount of shootouts deciding games.
