Why should they have too? Shootouts are [expletive] and pointless and don't show TEAM SKILL...? Oh Howry, last time I checked HOCKEY is a TEAM sport. I'm not arguing for or against the shootout. I just find it odd that they're what, 0-3 now? Toews, Kane, Sharp, Havlat... you would think it would be a strength. Yep, they are pathetic in a situation they shouldn't have to be in... it's not fair, but hey... life isn't fair. Well, if it makes you feel better, they're sucking me back into hockey. I didn't end up getting the Center Ice TV package, but the free radio play by play on the NHL's website is nice. Well, good that you're finally back into hockey! This loss just sucks on so many levels... getting outplayed in the 3rd really bit us in the ass again. :(
