Why pull your goalie so early?

Question

Unbelievable. Had Boston Celtics ML parlayed with Habs +2.5

Thought for sure was a winner. Then Habs gave a goal with 4 minutes to go. Ok I still got 2 goal cushion even if caps get an empty better I'm good. Then St Louis pulls the goalie with with 3 whole minutes of course Caps score EN goal. Then he pulls the goalie again and again they score the EN to lose by fukkin 3

Wanna smash my first through the wall

Never bet &#x2B;1.5 or &#x2B;anything in hockey because of empty nets

Wouldn&#x27;t it make more sense not to bet -1.5 or -2.5?

@icemantbi&#xA; Agreed. When down only 1 goal at home you would wait until about the 1.20 min mark to pull. Pulling the goalie with 3&#x2B; min is crazy. They could have gotten a powerplay in that 1min and 40 seconds.

Few years ago had grand salami under the total.  Had 16.5 left with one late game left.  Seattle beat Kings 9-8.  &#xA;Hope that makes you feel better.
