This is a dumb question, but when a team wins in a shootout, they are given a "goal" in the final score, so if the Hawks win in a shootout, it's 3-2 Hawks or something. Does that goal count in the teams goals allowed stats? I'm assuming it doesn't, but I think it's a dumb way to present a final score IMO. I look at overtimes and shootouts like the game ends in a tie and both teams get a point, but they continue playing for that extra point. I don't know, it sounds weird that way but I hate the idea of OTL's. I'd rather them present the score as "Chicago 2 Detroit 2. Chicago wins in shootout 2-1" or something like that instead of "Chicago 3 Detroit 2 F/SO"
