Despite Horrific Power Play Rangers Still Have Chance In Playoffs

The Puck Stops Here reminds Ranger fans that while getting into the playoffs with such a lowely power play is an unlikely scenario, once in the big dance there tends to be less penalties called limiting the damage of a bad power play...

"In the playoffs there tend to be less power plays. Referees tend to put whistles away and let teams play. This is particularly true late in games when it is unclear who will win. It is not uncommon for overtime games to go periods without any power plays at all. The effect of a good power play is decreased in the playoffs and the damage of a poor one is weakened."

...let's hope so b/c our power play is dreadful.
