Penalty killing and systematic play is just too good for power plays to have that much of a significant impact. Furthermore, why anybody thinks fans want to see more PP's and specialty teams play is beyond me. When is the last time you heard somebody complain about a game because there weren't enough power plays? Never, because it doesn't happen. These imbeciles have no idea what the hell they are doing. And they are obviously way out of touch with what the fans really want to see.  |
I honestly complain when I am watching a junior game and its all 5 on 4...even if its my home team who is continually on the advantage. In fact, the only sporting event I have ever left early is a hockey game in which there must have totaled only about 10 minutes of 5 on 5 in the first 2 periods.
