Which is what I'd stated earlier in the thread. If you read my previous post in the thread (not the one you quoted), I never suggested 2-3 minutes a game. Just more than the currently do.
The post of mine you quoted was directly in response to the post I quoted that seemed to suggest those arguing for more PK time for Sid and Geno is due to the Flyers doing so with their stars, as if mimicking the Flyers' strategy. I was just pointing out that it's more than just the Flyers who use their stars to PK.
Actually, those of us arguing for Sid and Geno on the PK, especially in the playoffs, were a little more concerned about the Flyers PP (and the Lightning PP the year before) than about who played on their PK. For the Flyers, there was next to no risk associated with passing through the box at will. Part of the rationale for having the stars out there, especially in the playoffs, is that their presence (and their ability to read plays) gives a PP pause, especially when it comes to making the high risk passes.
