Shootouts should count as one goal

[The General]

Do you agree?

If we get a shootout, then the winner wins by one goal. yay or nay? Over and under should reflect it eh?

it will. this has been discussed at "other sites" and should a game be 2-2 headed to a shootout and the score of the shootout is 4-3 the final score will be 3-2. the SO winner will ONLY get ONE goal - nothing how many they actually scored

I agree, as far as the betting sides of it.
I wonder how the books will be taking bets?
Probably similiar to soccer with 60 minute games, not including ot.

"(NOTE 5) Regardless of the number of goals scored during the shootout portion of overtime, the final score recorded for the game will give the winning team one more goal than its opponent, based on the score at the end of overtime."
