But pertaining to the discussion, the penalty shot typically allows for more time and space for the shooter to make a move then he would have otherwise on a breakaway - so I would give the advantage to the penalty shot (for shooters).

All these can be done during a breakaway. I'm prepared to be convinced if the right play is letting the player have the breakaway but right now I prefer the predictability of the PS vs the uncertainty of the breakaway.

That's why I'm also looking for stats for breakaway vs. penalty shots.

I play against him most weeks in ball hockey and unlike a lot of people, he actually controls his stick (not smashing peoples shins/knees/Achilles trying to steal the ball). Trips may happen, but I haven't seen the type of trip from him that is even close to malicious, its not like a lumberjack swing or anything like you guys are making it out to be. I think I've been tripped once by him and it was nothing.
Put it this way, all of you firing the attacks - have any of you ever intentionally taken a penalty in any sport? It's the same situation.

So just how many accounts do you have?
