Some fans love it. Hockey purists hate it. But whether they like it or not, players are quickly adapting to the new reality that ties are a thing of the past in the NHL. In one of the many sweeping changes being introduced this season, games deadlocked after a five-minute overtime will go to a shootout to determine a winner. In preparation, all exhibition games, regardless of the final score, are featuring a shootout this preseason. "I was kidding the guys that I don't want to show them too many moves before the season starts," said Bruins captain Joe Thornton, who was unsuccessful on his first shootout attempt Tuesday night against Toronto. "You might need to use some of those moves during the year. It's going to be fun. I don't think any fans left, so it's going to keep fans in the building."
