Yes!  But, why wait until after the game for the shootout?  It could be
before the game, or between periods.  This would accomodate all those fans
who like to leave early, yet would like to experience the excitement of the
shootout.
 
In fact, why not get a few fans and have THEM take the shots, using a board
in place of a goalie.  What's that?  We're doing that already?  Never mind.
