for instance, I follow the habs, they have a new guy on the team this year, the mother f'er won 2 games for them in shoot outs this year( the 3rd shooter ), before he scored his first goal of the season. And that's why shootouts are robdiddy. I would hate to dilute a team just to account for the nonsense. not diluting the team, I am referring to bottom 6 forwards, not top 6, plus they may help get a few extra point during the season BTW, I have always hated the SO, too european for me.

That's what I don't get. The Wings are better than average skill wise. yes, they are a skilled team, but maybe not so much on the SO. Again., I follow the habs, they have Max Patch ( he played for the wolverines ) scored 39 goals last year, very skilled player. he hasnt taken 1 SO this year, he is more of a shooter , as opposed to a more shifty / creative player, I think that is more of what is needed for a SO, quick shifty moves I can't think of a better player than Pavel for a SO. And he's not that good at it. Therefore, I render it to be turd.

How about coaching Howard and working on his weaknesses in them?
That's the fastest, easiest way to start to get something from them.
They'll never pull Howard at the start of a SO. Too much of a team killer. It would be close to a Patrick Roy situation. To publicly humiliate your starting goalie line that, no matter how much he sucks at SOs.

Datsyuk should be able to score on that top shelf backhand move 90% of the time if he mixes in some other stuff occasionally.

It's not a Howard problem. The last 3 games we've lost in SO he's given up 2, 1, and zero goals heading to OT. The shooter has an advantage in a 1-on-1 situation like. Our shooters for some reason can't score in SOs, in fact a lot of times it's not even close.

That says nothing about how he played the previous 65 minutes. He just plain sucks at SOs. He isn't stopping anyone (almost).

And yet Pavel is 2/5, Gus is 2/7, Hank, Darren and Tomas have yet to score. The advantage is with the shooter, and ours are so shitty that it puts all the pressure on Jimmy to save everything. Sure he hasn't been great, but his shooters pick him up roughly 0.000% of the time

Both sides suck which obviously why we are horrific. Nobody picks up anyone.

Best way for the Wings to avoid losing a shoot out is to avoid a shoot out.
