Compare and contrast. Look at the size of the equipment. Exhibit A, well that picture speaks for its self. Exhibits B and C that's the modern day goalie.

I have to agree with you. The players aren’t racking up the points like they used to. I think some of the blame should be the size of the goalie’a equipment.

Let's put our line in the water, shall we? So.., do you think if someone breaks a game-winning goal statistic during the modern age, i.e. via the three-on-three era, should that statistic contain an asterisk?

Very funny.

Not a single person.

Speaking of penalty shots, this is my favorite one.

Yuck, those are ugly. Both home and away.

I like WTF better.

I said blown knee.

Hmm.

I've never seen anyone blow out a knee at a shootout.

Holy $h!t, you're on a roll today. That might have been an exaggeration on my part, for example, I've seen fans say that they're offended by a fight in hockey, but for the most part, you don't see people heading for the exits during fights. More times than not, I think that would be the same for a shootout. Simple question; folks that leave a close hockey game with a minute left are they really fans out just out attending an event?

what?

It was my weak attempt at humor.

Lol, I was making a joke about the sister kissing. Sorry...

They suck. It's like kissing your sister. Hmm. Not sure how you would measure that? But, I did read that in a Grand Forks Herald gamer one time.

There's no chance that a Stanley Cup will be decided by a shootout. You can bank on it.

Are you drinking my friend? The NHL isn't going to decide playoff games with the shootout. However, the NHL season is 82 games long, they can't have a bunch of games going to never-ending overtimes.

Edit -- So, you're at a Red Wings game, are you leaving during this?

I' don't think that I've never seen one single fan get up and leave during the shootout. Except, maybe @MafiaMan .

Little salty today buddy?

I am still waiting for that announcement, too.

Now that is funny.

I've had a few on the blog express their distaste for the 3-on-3 format. During the past three seasons, there's been some interesting 3-on-3 OT endings.

Touche'...
