I'm in agreement that a nice clean breakaway in ice hockey has a much better chance of going in than a penalty shot.

The downside of always being a d-bag is that if you miss the trip, the player can potentially have a breakaway opportunity in addition to a penalty shot. But it sounds like the OP is quite proficient with his lumber..
