When should hockey teams pull the goalie? Study finds optimal time.

It's far earlier than most teams currently do.

I get it,it probably is a good way to pressure the opponent,I just think it’s so risky when it’s that early. I admit

Yes they pulled him during a line change. Bad time unless the puck carrier is
