I hate how winning the shootout gets your team another point. ONE POINT, that is huge considering how many teams get into per season.
I think, instead of rewarding a team with a point in the shootout.. how about the team with the highest win % in the shootout gets you home-ice advantage in the playoffs? The games would end in a tie, then the teams just play for home-ice advantage basically. Teams that are out of contention could play a role as spoiler, taking home ice advantage away from the best teams..
I dont know, it was just an idea because I dont like the idea of individual players winning you a point..its not a team effort like it should be.
And OT extended to 10 minutes, teams would also play harder for that extra point and go all out. Thus creating more excitement for fans.
