no... 3-0 isn't that much of a deficit. pulling your goalie midway is forfeiting the game -- nm

I know very, very, little about hockey, but I'm pretty sure 3-0 miday through the third is pretty daunting a differential. - musubi Feb 26, 13:27 8
- when you're pulling the goalie, you need to maintain posession for basically the whole time. You can do that for maybe 2 minutes but there's no chance - Reagen Feb 26, 13:29 4
  - Yeah, but I'm just thinking there has to be a game theory equilibrium situation, where in *rare* situations, where you have almost nothing to lose - musubi Feb 26, 13:31 3
    - As I said below, I could see it for a short burst. Maybe catch them off guard. But doing it for an extended period is suicide. -- nm - pmb Feb 26, 13:32 2
      - Well, temporarily was what I was thinking about, not necessarily for the rest of the game. But as a mental excercise it still applies. (nm) - musubi Feb 26, 13:35
      - yeah... i could see this. its unconventional, but not crazy, especially if the other team looked gassed or your team had momentum -- nm - Guy Feb 26, 13:34
- its extremely exhausting for the players to keep the puck in the offensives zone when their goalie is pulled - Guy Feb 26, 13:29 2
  - Yes, but the proposal was for the last minute or so of the 2nd period. -- nm - pmb Feb 26, 13:30 1
    - Whoops. I read that wrong. Carry on. -- nm - pmb Feb 26, 13:30
