Have you ever played hockey? He was away. You take him down in that scenario.

Why...the breakaway's a de facto penalty shot and the takedown gives them a penalty shot off that anyway. So either you're facing the breakaway in real time or you give the shooter and the goalie time to think about it. At best it's a wash that isn't really neccesary.

No.

He's right. I've played this game since i was 8 (almost 30 years) and taking a guy down on a brekaway or letting him go in alone is a wash.

Actually, giving him a penalty shot is an advantage. He has no one chasing him, can relax with the puck and isn't facing the same high speed quick thinking pressure of full speed action.

Given a choice, i'd rather do what i can to not take him down and try to disrupt his attempt.
