Penguins' Shootout: What Were They Thinking?

Last night the Pittsburgh Penguins went up against a tough Minnesota Wild hockey team.  Both teams played a hard-fought game, which ended in a shootout. Now, this is where I have no idea what the Penguins coaches were thinking, or the players who were taking the shots. Coach Terrien chose Petr Sykora, Alex Goligoski, and Sidney Crosby.  I would not have chosen any of those three if the decision had been up to me.  If I had to choose I would have gone with Miroslav Satan, Evgeni Malkin, and Jordan Staal. I know that Goligoski got the game winner the other night, but hey, people do get lucky. No offense to him, but that goal was a lucky one that just somehow slipped under the goaltender's leg. I can see why Sykora was on the shootout lineup last night; he is a good goal scorer. However, he is very predictable in his moves.  He comes in goes back and forth a little bit, and the majority of the time he ends up on his back-hand. You have to be able to keep goaltenders ...
