    Hockey Question

    At the Caps vs Lightening game last night in DC, the game went into a 5 minute overtime and then into a shootout. I've never seen the shootout before and I have a question. How long does this last? Until someone scores or what? Both teams went through 10 guys before Tampa Bay finally scored. What's the deal with the shootout.

    On a side note, on Monday night, after 250 women touched, kissed, rubbed and did whatever to Ovetchkin's (sp) game helmet, he went on to score 4 goals! We must've brought him good luck!

    Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
    The only answer I found for all this hurt
    Is there ain't not answer here on earth

    For a shootout each team picks three skaters. Each guy gets one shot. If one of them scores, the other team must match. It's basically the best of 3. So if one team has 2 guys score and the other team only has 1 guy score, game over. If none of them score, or it is tied after 3 shots each, it just keeps going until somebody scores and the other team can't match - aka sudden death.

        Thanks. I thought that's what the announcer said. Something about 3 skaters each. But then it just kept going and going and going. So, if the Caps or Lightening scores in the first 3 shots, thta goal has to be matched in the first 3 shots. If no one scores, they just go down the line of players on each team until someone scores and there is NO match goal.

          Yes. They each alternate the first 3 shots. If they are tied at the end of 3, it goes to sudden death (extra innings style). In the sudden death round if the Caps go first and score, the Lightning would have to score or it would be over. If in the next round the Caps don't score, the Lightning could score and win it.

              I doubt it brought him luck, Ovechkin likes men.

                So you rubbed Ovechkin's helmet? I'm surprised he made it to the game...
                "'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
