Are you joking, lol? It's the NHL, the team that won the face off would score the empty net goal within seconds. If you think the shootout is gimmicky, no goalies is "literally flip a coin at centre ice" levels of silliness.
Ever watch empty net goals from the own zone? Most NHL players can hit an empty net without issue and under pressure from 150-200 feet, in your scenario they're like half that distance right away with only three opposition players.
