The shootout is flawed for two main reasons
- Individuals decide what is otherwise a team sport
- The winner is based on a very small set of skills instead of the game which is a combination of all those skills
To that end
- Why not have a hardest shooting competition to decide the winner? Or fastest skater? Or that cool target shooting drill?
Just as silly.
I hope it does go to a shootout though so the entire world can see how bad a way this is to decide important games - and then maybe that will provoke a change.
