The Puck Stops Here

Going into last night's games the two worst teams in the NHL in terms of power play percentages were Tampa Bay and Calgary. These were the teams who played in the 2004 Stanley Cup finals. Last night, Tampa Bay improved their standing, they are now the third worst power play team having passed Columbus (the kind of team that I would expect to have the worst power play record). Why on earth do Calgary and Tampa Bay have such poor power play records this year. They clearly have good teams. They should have good power plays. I expect that they will sort this out and both teams will get their power plays going and both will see improvements in their standings as a result.
