Unnecessarily hard hit considering the situation. You're already down by 3 with less than 5 to go in a largely meaningless regular season game. You can ease up a touch there and still stop the goal.

It bothers me more that the goalie was still pulled down 3 in a largely meaningless regular season game.  I preferred the days when teams would just play out the stretch of minutes if down by more than 2.  Not to mention to fact I can't stand seeing goalies being pulled with more than 90 to 120 seconds left to go in the game.

Totally disagree. The division is a beast this year and ending up in first is the goal to have the "easier" matchup. TBay is 3 pts behind with 2 games in hand...Leafs are 5 with 1 game in hand. Every point matters and the Panthers were also out playing CBJ. If they were 10 points up with 5 games to go, that's different.

I'm with you on the first part. No sense pulling the goalie when you're down more than 2 unless a playoff berth is on the line or you're facing elimination.

Or, when you're down by 2, should you pull the goalie with.... 13 minutes left? Here's what a couple of economists say https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3132563
 
Kinda crazy but as things stand the .585 Vegas Golden Knights wouldn't be in a playoff position in the Eastern conference. And after going just 7-8-4 since January 1st they're barely in a playoff spot in the West.
 
Somewhat on topic the other day one of the guys from The Daily Faceoff show said he didn't have Matthews in his top-5 for the Hart right now (link). Like that's insane.

I think it's outrageous that the NHL is going to allow the drafting of 8 year olds in 2030.

There are no limits on the Chosen One. If Anakin can podrace at 8ish, Baby Kessel can play in the NHL.
 
Besides, I'm pretty sure life expectancy is going down to about 33-years old in the near future. Let the 10-year olds play in the NHL.
