And the quality of play was turning to crap anyways because of how gassed everyone was. I'm not sure if you guys noticed that the 3rd/4th lines were getting half the ice time in overtime because the top-2 lines were gassed.
These kids aren't used to playing every single night. In high intensity games no less where everyone is playing harder than they've ever played before. The longer you drag on overtime, the higher risk of injury gets with sloppy plays.
Do you think the players wanted to keep playing? No they didn't, even at the expense of cofias not enjoying the shootout.

Ask them. I bet they'd all want to keep playing until a winner was decided in non shootout fashion.
