Yeah....that's the thing with shootouts IMO.
People look at it like they're wins or losses.
The team didn't lose a hockey game, they lost an individual skills semi-competition. Same as if they had been on the other side of it....they don't win the game, just the 1 on 1 stuff.
4 out of 6 points on a 3 game road trip is a success for ANY NHL team. It's a really hard league to get wins.
