If the goalie was good enough, he would deflect that puck from getting in the net.
You realize that pucks aren't easy to stop, right?
Actually, statisically the shootout puts the goalie at more of an advantage than the shooter. The best shootout goal scorer of all time with over 10 goals is Frans Nielsen. He is only at a 59.7% (or something close). Nobody is any higher than that.
With the exception of the spin-o-rama move (which should never be allowed) the goalie has the advantage. Read any article about it and you will see the same thing.
Well that Jayface means you've been defeated. Good to know you have no counter argument. {Upload|8202}
lol no....you're still wrong. The shootout is a crapshoot.

I am aware of that. That doesn't justify the shootout in any way.

No it doesn't justify the shootout. In fact, throughout this season I grew to hate the shootout. I was just pointing out that the goalies actually do have the advantage, and not the shooter as some here seem to think.
