If you’re not a fan of the shootout then you might not want to spend the whole eighteen minutes watching the ridiculous 20-round shootout that took place in Sunrise last night between the Panthers and the Capitals. That’s right…twenty rounds. Florida won 6-5 in the 20-round extravaganza that surpassed the fifteen-round skills competition between the Rangers and the Capitals in 2005, best remembered for Marek Malik’s unlikely between-the-legs winner in the fifteenth round. If you want to skip the video and just look at the scorecard, here it is below. You’ll notice that Jussi Jokinen scored twice in the first several rounds, other unlikely scorers like Brooks Orpik helped extend the shootout and that every roster player on both teams got to shoot at least once, which is unprecedented. At least this shootout was actually decided by both full teams, unlike every other skills competition.
