Shootouts are terrible in Hockey IMO but understand in a way why they are there if you want to prevent ties in the regular season. But during the playoffs it's great that the game is Sudden Death.

Soccer should use Sudden Death overtimes during the big games of elimination tournaments.

I'd rather there just be ties in the regular season. Although the point of every game is to determine which team is better, it's acceptable for there to be ties because the point of the season is to determine which teams are better over the whole body of work. Ties can work into that formula without messing anything up. It's better than just half-assing determining a winner in the regular season because there doesn't "have" to be a winner. If 2 teams are equally matched, then it should be recorded as such, only breaking that when it's absolutely necessary, i.e the playoffs.
