I wonder what the timeframe on something like this is before it actually becomes a risk - 4-5 seconds? 2.9 probably wasn't long enough for this to actually be a risk, it's more of a smart pushing the envelope type of play.
Funny story that I think I've told here once before...

Back in the day I was at a game sitting fairly close to the Devils bench. McVie was coach, and Terrari was in net. With 2.9 seconds left in the period and an offensive zone faceoff, they were about to do a normal line change when I screamed at the top of my lungs "PULL THE GOALIE!!!". McVie whips his head around to look at me, then turns back to Terrari and yells "GOALIE!" and pulls him.

Too bad they didn't score. I could have taken credit for a Devils goal :)
