I don't really care about the shootout or shootout points.
The way I see it the point is to win the cup. Since the playoffs do not have the shootout, that means winning without the shootout is what matters. I would rather focus on being a good enough team without the shootout. If a team is marginal enough that the shootout points are the difference between making the playoffs or not, then that team is not a contender, they are just first round fodder.
