Pulling the goalie

Here is a case (see below) where pulling the goalie did not make much sense. The Red Wings had just scored their sixth goal against Carter Hart of the Flyers and under some circumstances it would make sense to pull the goalie after something like that happens. But in this case, that goal came with just 2 seconds left in the game. I don't think it is realistic that a goalie would be pulled under these circumstances.

Note that because there wasn't time for a shot to be registered against the replacement goalie (Brian Elliott) his save percentage is not a sensible numeric value.
