I actually don't hate the shootouts in the regular season, although I wouldn't be necessarily sad to see them go. They are exciting enough, and ties are boring. On the other hand, you should never get a point for losing, in my opinion...even if you do get to OT. That's what makes me more angry than the shootout. Keep the shootout or get rid of it, but we should not reward losing in any form with a point...no thanks.
