Didn't Roy pulled his goalie with ~4 minutes left a few seasons ago? And then Hartley started pulling his goalie earlier as well?
Its seems that teams are willing to pull earlier now, but probably it should even swing more.
Just as football is seeing more teams go for it as the math suggests. It just takes a very long time to convince people the norm is incorrect.
Look how long it took teams in baseball to implement the shift, and now people complain it needs to be banned !
