My only gripe on the shootout is the predictable lineup. Yes you want your star and more skilled players in that position but once goalies see shooter tendancies its hard to really have any kind of an edge. As Flames fans we know, Johnny likes the back hand 5 hole deke and Monny likes going stick side, so do opposing goaltenders, it seemed like Talbot knew what was coming both times.
I wouldn't have minded throwing a curve ball at Talbot and going something along the lines of Frolik, Brouwer, Tkachuk.
