Interesting read. I think the whole article can be summed up as follows:
You should be pulling your goalie much earlier than previously thought because losing by 5 goals is the same as losing by 1 goal.
It's counter intuitive to most people's gut feeling as losing 2-1 seems better than 6-1, but its really the same outcome. So you should gamble more and get more blowouts, but you'll be better off as those gambles will result in more games that you actually tie it up.
