Upstate NY rules!
PS I must confess, these shoot-out wins are extremely nerve-wracking. Is it just my team or something about the new rules that causes more OTs and shoot-outs?
And, do we like the new rules? I'm all for a faster game (not as many off-sides calls and endless face-offs), but to have two great teams, with great players, really duke it out and give it their all for 60 minutes
What do the rest of you think?

Congrats on the sweep. We saw the highlights about 1:00am after our Penn State Friday night game over a "late" dinner with many teammates and parents and none of us could believe the shoot out - again. I immediately thought of ya'll.
Toronto JUST lost to the Habs in a shoot out. Good things and bad things about the new rules. You're absolutely right about this being a team sport. It seems like we are seeing an awful lot of "skills contests" to decide the games.
Whoa I just saw the interview of Sheldon Souray of Montreal. Handsome? Uh, yeah.
I love the shoot outs. Absolutely love them. It's either that or leave the game as a tie. Having 5 minute OT period over and over again is unrealistic.
Comparing it to the old rules that it's a tie if no winner after OT, then the number of points a team gets if they lose in a shoot out is the same as if the OT period ended with no winner.
As for "skills contests" -- isn't that what a sport is all about? What about penalty shots?
Woo hoo! Sabres RULE! :)
I'm not a fan of the shoot-outs. I think it's anticlimatic myself. I'd much rather let them play until someone wins. I think ties are pointless too in other words.
