Going to a shootout if you told me before this game that the dogs would finish with 47 shots I would’ve said they scored at least 3-4 goals not 1

And the first shooter in the shootout is….. Blair Scott…

Guess they picked their 3 best shooters for shoot out

This is not the first time we had these odd choices for the shootout. I really don't understand it.

My wife and I were joking around about who Coach Ben will choose for the shootout. We LOL'd when Scott was announced.

Anybody with any insight as to why we are not just going with our leading scorers?

Going with the hot hand in shoot-out practice is normal.
Player ability to handle in game vs practice pressures should be considered though. Loshko, Roobroek, He, Levin, Wassilyn should be automatic imo.

I agree with your selection of players. Sadly, only one of them got a chance last night.
