Should The Nhl Use A Shootout, Instead Of Overtime To Settle Reguler-seasoon Ties?

Owen Nolan
RW SHARKS
NO
"Overtime is a better reflection of a team's character and depth. I'd rather have a game decided by a club grinding it out, not by someone making a fancy shot."

Teemu Selanne
RW SHARKS
YES
"I'd love it. It would be exciting for fans and for players. We'd be standing up on the bench. Not in the playoffs, but why not have more fun in the regular season?"

THE VERDICT: Fans would get a big kick out of it, but a shootout is too gimmicky. We'll side with Nolan.
