Should a players and goalies stats in the shootout be added to his season totals?

Question

for example, if a player has 22 goal in the regular season, scores in the shootout, should he have 23? same with goalie stats.

i realize this may make some records easier to achieve, but what do you think?

Answer 1

NO. Nope, NADA. uh-uh, NAY BOB. Never. NFW.

And since you brought it up. Get rid of the F*****G gimmick all together.

I hope I didn't leave too much room for interpretation of my position on shootouts and points. Just in case, put me in the 'no' column. Thanks.

Answer 2

no i think that would be a bad idea!  players like phil kessel who are about 50% or higher would be  able to boost up there stats much to high..  but youre idea aint bad and it would be interesting but unrealistic

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

No.

Answer 5

h**l no. thats an unfair advantage. some players dont get to compete in the shootouts. only a select few do. and some teams get many more shootouts than others. its just not a fair scenario

Answer 6

As a player, no because not every skater gets an opportunity to participate. As a goalie, the win is already counted, but it would alter the save % and GAA, so  no to that.

Answer 7

No

Answer 8

yea, its still in the game isnt it? if its a free goal its still a goal isnt it? dont you want a game winning goal to be remembered? how can it if its not counted in stats?
