So it's a little more of a reward than a penalty is, which IMO, makes perfect sense. Tripping or hooking a guy that has a clear breakaway should have more repercussions than a casual trip in the neutral zone, or accidentally shooting the puck over the glass.
Also, they are exciting. And, IIRC, the objective here is entertainment.

I must admit I was pretty anxious at the time- Johnny had a good game, but he hasn't exactly had the touch lately.Penalty shot may have the higher odds, but a save there and the momentum totally switches, powerplay at least gives you control for 2 minutes (or less) in a late close game. boy was I glad to be wrong that PS was the preferred option
