I didn't know they added an extrra period to these games  ;-)

Judgment call, IMHO.  I think the threshold for pulling the goalie is
usually ~1:30.  Anytime after that seems fair game to me.  Of course, it
all depends on where the play is at the time.  If they scored, Parker's
call would've looked like a good one.  Instead, MC scored on a misfired
pass by Poti near his own blue line.  Go figure...
