How do we know they all suck at it. We've really only seen datsyuk, Nyquist, and tatar. They suck so much at it that it never makes it to a 4th or 5th shooter.

Zetterberg has always sucked in shootouts. Franzen hasn't taken many, but from what I remember, he sucked too. You really want to see Helm take them? Or Abdelkader?

Howard is 50th in shootout save % under ESPN stats. Could not even find him until I realized there is a second page....Ouch

Now I know why Wings players are so lazy in shootouts. They're used to playing Howard in practice, and instead of deking, just shoot at the 5 hole.

I'll back you there...

Z was horrible in his latest shootout attempts, I can really only remember one great one when he did the forsberg move.

And I'd like to see Jurco in over Tatar, but Tatar has the experience and confidence, so I can definitely see why they went with that rotation last night..

Especially with Jurco just trying to keep things simple he'd probably just shoot right now anyway, but there's no question he's got the hands to pull some incredible moves.
