I think part of the problem there is that some teams aren’t just protecting the point. They’re inferior teams looking to reach the OT period and then play through it to get to the shootout where they might stand a chance of winning. The Devils played that to perfection in 2011-12, riding all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals even though they wouldn’t have even been a playoff team without the current OT and shootout rules in place (they were 12-4 in shootouts that year).
And now we have an 8th seed in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Yep, that’s problem with shootouts. Survive and make them face your goalie.
