Statistically, we probably should have pulled Ramo, but there isn't a coach in the NHL (with the possible exception of Roy) with the balls to do it in that situation. |
This thread is interesting and so is that article. I'm sold. I say pull the goalie on any 5-3 with more than a minute left on the first penalty. Regardless of the score. It's got to be close to an automatic goal when you outnumber the other skaters 2 to 1.
