Any shootout wins with this bunch will be due to goalie robbery. Once we get past Kuzy and Oshie our SO skills get dull in a hurry.

So I just don't get how good coaches, can be so boneheaded in OT.  Why in the world would you put Mantha out there for the critical shot in the shootout?  Yes, he has played better lately, but his goals have not come from deaking out the goaltender. In fact, I bet he leads the league over the last 2 years in lowest scoring percentage on breakaways.  MkMike had a beautiful stick-handling play to score a great goal earlier in the game - he should have been out there in the shootout!!!  Plus, that would have been a great confidence boost for him.
