May as well, it's about as close to hockey as the shootouts are.Instead of a shootout, we should have a boxing match at center ice to make enforcers relevant again.

The tie is way better than the shootout.
I'd rather become a fan of the Blues than have ties return.
The fascination with needing a winner or loser is so odd.
It's like reading a book and at the end, the protagonist and antagonist simply shake hands and go their separate ways. I'd throw that book across the room.
How does a shootout determine who the better team is on a given day? It is a stupid gimmick that has no place in determining a winner or loser.
Furthermore, what is wrong with two teams being as good as each other on a given night and calling it at that? The fascination with needing a winner or loser is so odd.
He doesn't deserve any more after one good season. Take the bridge deal and get paid when its over.
Johansen had a good season last year, but the season before he was a healthy scratch in the AHL playoffs. You can't fault Columbus for wanting to be sure of the player they actually have.
Cant fault Johansen though for proving his doubters in organization wrong and expected to be rewarded for it
He has become the face of that franchise in Columbus alongside Bobrovsky
He also saw that laughable contract that RHN got from Oilers and is using that as comparable
I don't see one year as proving doubters wrong.
Well he did prove his doubters wrong and had breakout year
Now if they want a bridge so much then he should demand a 1 yr deal which I believe would give him arbitration rights next offseason and open him up to offer sheet potential
I bet the Jackets would be opposed to that because if he proves it again then he will get his big $$$ potentially from someone else
