When they instituted the Shootout, NHL had been doing market research for a couple years, and the one thing that casual fans hated more than anything was that the game could end without a winner. And let's face it - the NHL needed (and still needs) to appeal to the casual fan in an effort to make them dedicated fans.

It's an old hockey adage: "A tie is like kissing your sister."
