This decision will have to be based on the worth of that multiplier. It the have 3 balls plus a multiplier and we have 5 balls with no multiplier. It we can move the multiplier from there goal to ours while only getting 3 goaltending flags it would be worth it to us. Not only would you gain more points, your 25+ pts + their 15- pts = 40 pt change - 3 goaltending (10 each) = 10 pt overall advantage, the overall score of the game is increased by 30 to 40 points. Goaltending in this manner isn't particularly detrimental to anyone. Don't get mad at me for saying this again, but these rules kind invite this type of play.
Well said.

I think this is definitely a useful strategy, and will almost definitely occur. A solid defense is going to be key.
