Seems like this was discussed at length last year about this same time.
I have been involved in shootouts as both a player and a coach, and I can say that I do not like them at all, whether I have won the game or lost it. Winning a game by pk's has never given me a feeling of actually deserving the win.
If a game is going to be decided by pk's, at least extend the overtime periods before going to them. This would give teams a chance to show who has the better athletes. If you can still play well after 80 minutes of regular time, and maybe another 30 or 40 overtime, that is something to be said.
For the most part, pk's seem to be pure chance - they shouldn't be - but they seem that way to me.
