Will the shoot out at least be after an overtime period???

no.

Will the NHL stock Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo in all locker room showers for all the crybabies who can't live on MILLIONS a year?
Fuckin' assholes.

"And they will be playing under vastly different rules.
The biggest shakeup for hockey purists will be the institution of a shootout, to ensure that every regular-season game will have a winner.
Goalies will have to stop those shots and all others with smaller pads, which will be shrunk by about 11 percent. The width of the pads will be reduced to 11 inches and the glove, upper-body protector, pants and jersey will also be smaller.
Not only is their equipment shrinking, so is the area in which goalies can go to play the puck. Goaltenders can only go behind the goal line in a trapezoid-shaped area.
The neutral-zone edges of the blue lines will be 64 feet from the attacking goal and 75 feet from the end boards in the offensive zone. That adds 4 feet in each zone, with the thought it will increase scoring - especially during power plays.
Although no-touch icing wasn't added, players who make long, home-run type passes that miss their target will not be whistled for icing.
How the rules work will be monitored by a competition committee made up of four players, four general managers and one owner."
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">YES! Finally, they got their heads out of their asses! The IHL was using this format for 50 yrs and it rawked! This might just make me an NHL fan again.."The biggest shakeup for hockey purists will be the institution of a shootout, to ensure that every regular-season game will have a winner."

fuck shootouts... they're boring as hell.
an overtime is boring because NEITHER team tries to win
shoot-outs are exciting I've always found. I love watching breakaways
Like soccer, many people don't watch hockey because it's a low scoring game. I think goalie pads got too fucking big anyway! The shoot-out sounds good to me too. It's gonna be interesting to watch the shift in hockey dynamics.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">getting a breakaway and scoring a goal takes some skill. getting a clean shot at the goalie with no one around to stop you... not so much.Originally posted by Graveyard Records:
