Actually a pretty smart move. Some of the stats guys have looked into this, and concluded that most coaches pull their goalie too late to make a difference. When you're down late, the odds are against you no matter what you do. But to maximize your chances of tying the game, IIRC, you should be pulling the goalie with something like 3 minutes left when down a goal, and even earlier when down by two.
