Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 1503905, member: 474"] having been to hundreds of hockey games i say the answer is no. you can blindly just pull the goalie to give yourself more time but you cant just start doing it at some random time and expect better results. you need to do it when you have the puck if possible, when you have the line you want, even when the OPP has the line you want out. I agree that teams often waited too long, but the fact that the odds only increased by 2% show that its probably more of a variable of other factors than what time that has the most impact on how well it works. if time was the main variable then 2% is an anomaly that probably requires more analysis to even show that time made the difference and not something else [/QUOTE]
