Why would anyone say that a shootout is more pure hockey than 4 on 4? Hockey being a team game immediately makes any number of players more than a shootout closer to pure hockey.

Where did I say a shootout was pure hockey? This place is incredible sometimes. A shootout is a way to end a tie game in soccer, handball, hockey etc. That's what its for. 4 on 4 hockey is a scrimmage and a gimmick in organized hockey. Again I don't mind it in the NHL for 5 minutes just as I don't mind the shootout but 20 minute periods of 4 on 4 is a joke.
