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.

For the Stars the penalty shot is preferred. Slightly better odds, but you don't burn up 2 min that you need to come back, and you might get a lift from the save.
