"No one loves the shootout," McDavid continued. "It's a crappy way to finish a game, but at the end of the day, it's about the players' health and safety. It's a long season. The overtime taxes a lot of guys, so making that longer could have some effects there, but I agree with you in the sense that no one wants to see a game end in a shootout."
