In the playoffs there are no ties as we all know, so it stays 5 on 5 until decided.

In that score it makes perfect sense.
This might be a hot take, but I wish they’d bring back ties.

Sometimes, nobody’s good enough to win. That’s fine. That’s life. Stale mate is a thing.

Nothing ruins an awesome back and forth game with a spirited OT like a shootout.

It’s like “great, we won!”

No, not really.

It’s hockey. We play unlimited 5v5 sudden death in the playoffs.

It’s a reward for a regular season full of ties.
