If any game goes to a shootout, It is fair opportunity for both teams to win the game. It comes down to putting out who you believe will score, and it takes a lot of luck. Personally I rather not see a shootout decide a hockey game, but it is part of the game these days. I for one like the Olympic format over the NHL format. It was cool to see that Russia vs USA game. It was Best shooters vs Best shooters.
Hockey is a game of skill and strategy, but its also a game of bounces. Some nights the same shot goes in that didn't other games. Some nights a bounce is there and others it is not. Luck plays a part in every sport.
