from the Edmonton Sun,
But as playoff and divisional races become so tight that one point will likely mean the difference between making and missing, or clinching home ice and opening on the road, a lot of teams in the tourniquet are only now beginning to appreciate the value of those shootout spoils.
“I don’t know if our team really realizes how many points we have lost,” said Teemu Selanne, whose Anaheim Ducks have seven shootout losses this season, most in the Western Conference and second most in the NHL.
“We don’t really practise it. Maybe three, four times in the whole season, and I don’t think that’s enough.”

Is this guy just really lame, or did he write this last month?
He doesn’t bother telling us the Ducks have won 4 shootouts. So winning ‘four or five’ of the seven losses would make them 8-3 or 9-2, a tall order for any team. Oh and by the way, they’ve lost 8, not 7.
Discussing the battle for first overall with no mention of the Wings, who yep, happen to be in first overall? (And are just as limp in shootouts as the Ducks, although they’ve only been in half as many)
