I love the shootout cause it's fun to watch and I always want to see people's new creative moves and etc and it's also because I am a big breakawayguy myself.
Although I hate shootouts as a way to decide the winner of a game. Its true, its a complete toss up and it could go either way. But I am also not a fan of the3rd column. I think it should be win or loss, therefore I would like hard fought overtimes to decide all games.

Frenchblue23 never haha I hate them. I grew up playing hockey and following it closely, and I had always liked the Dallas Stars for some reason I don'thave a clue as to why. Then we had a youth hockey tournament and it was in Dallas. I met the Dallas stars of that time, and we got to skate and practice withthem. That was the deal breaker for me. I also liked the devils too, but then that finals match between them and stars made me miserable haha.
I also didn't like the rangers back then because to me it would seem like they would get all the best players and they wouldn't want to play. It'slike they were there just for the check. It might not have been the case but that was my reasoning as a little kid. I just didn't see the hard work fromthem as I did from other teams. It made me hate them. With that said I have baby pics of me in rangers clothes, and went to the Stanley cup parade in 94,thanks to my dad

So the Blues suck at shootouts, let me start there. But let's get rid of all this BS and go back to 1995 - 5v5 OT, 5:00, winner gets 2 points and the losergets NOTHING. If nobody scores, then it ends in a tie with each team getting a point. No points for an OTL either.
What I don't understand is how they do the shootout for 82 games and then....What? Playoffs? Oh yeah, no shootout here and no 4v4 either. I hate when asport drastically changes it's practices because of the magnitude of the game. Kind of like the last second foul in basketball - it is a foul or itisn't, you don't change the game.
On a side not, I love watching 4 on 4 hockey. I'm sure goalies love it too

Keiths 12 year contract I am willing to bet my left testicle is front loaded like the Hossa and Prongers deal the NHL looked into. While I understand it isperfectly acceptable Im not a fan of this. Pronger will be making something like 250k his final year. Its a BS way to get around the cap IMO, while it istechnically fine, I dislike it.

I agree 100%.
The NHL cap is nothing more than a formality at this point since there are so many ways to cheat the system. You can bury players in the minors, put them onthe long-term disability list or just give them ******ed 10+ year contracts.
NHL unrestricted free agency is gonna be almost non-existent in a couple of years with all these top players signing these life-time contracts. When July rollsaround teams are gonna be deciding on which 3rd and 4th liners they want to sign
The NHL also has to protect the owners from their own stupidity. The owners think that giving a player a 10-year-deal will save them some money down the line.However, what happens if that player suffers a career ending injury 2 seasons into his deal or if the player performance diminishes?
