Ehhh....I actually think from a different school of thought on that one.

If you're DESPERATE...okay. But generally the benefit of the powerplay is space. If you pull the goalie you negate that advantage, sure, you have more people to pass to...more traffic, that advantage depends on the makeup of your team.

And also...that ability to ice the puck to an empty net? Thats playing with fire.
