Tampa Bay also scored only 2 SO goals this year.
The NHL just published some great shootout statistics for both the 2012/2013 season and all-time:

While nearly 50% on the road, Calgary has really struggled in the SO at the Dome. Here are some all-time stats for the Flames on home ice:
- Only 6 SO home games won which is dead last in the league (while losing 21).
- 2nd last in home SO save percentage at 56% (ahead of only Philly at 52)
- Dead last in home SO goals scored (by a wide margin) with only 15
- League-worst in home shooting percentage at only 18%
- Perhaps fortunately for the Flames, they've also participated in the fewest home games decided by shootout
I'd be curious to see if the fans of teams that have been effective in the shootout (NJ, Pens, NYR) would also like to see it gone.
