I don't see how you can take this position. 3 on 3 is exactly like 5 on 5 hockey except for the number of players on the ice - the rules are identical. The shootout looks nothing like 5 on 5 hockey.

For sure. At least 4 on 4 and 3 on 3 situations can actually occur during a game. 4 on 4 fairly frequently, and 3 on 3 rarely, but it does happen. You will never see a shootout in the middle of the 2nd period.
