Shoot out vs. Overtime

While it's been a season and a half now, and I will admit the shootout isn't all that bad. It settles the game and has proven to be somewhat exciting. Now first off lets make clear a five minute overtime is no more exciting than a shootout, in fact with teams playing for the tie, less exciting. But for the pure adrenalin rush, nothing in all of sports matches sudden death overtime in the playoffs. Every rush, shot and hits importance is magnified and your eyes are glued to the game. Heaven forbid it's your beloved team and your heart is in your throat for every second the puck is in your own end. Than a 2 second breath of air while it's in the nuetral zone and wham , back in your throat as your team attacks to the oppositions net. Back and forth , to and fro, the emotional roller coaster is far more thrilling then any ride on a fair roller coaster. This is hockey at it's absolute finest and most exciting. No one really wants to see thier team in this situation, or do we, just with the right result. Oh sweet overtime. Can't wait for the playoffs!
