I saw TP in concert once...2 years ago I think. Not very memorable.
Edit: They weren't headlining obviously.
Ya, they weren't a very good band. Especially live where they're pretty much awful (no life). I just liked the name and started using it as a screen name at a few places and sort of stuck.
There's a little debate if it's a return to a more defensive style of hockey, or if fewer obstruction penalties are being called.
Personally I think they are letting the little sets go more than they should. Players know now to use the stick or free hand to grab a player, but they can certainly step into his lane without having to skate backwards and make "incidental contact".

Your image isn't loading correctly for me, and I haven't had a chance to read the article, but in true HFBoards fashion, I feel this makes me more than qualified to comment:
ES-G/60 has remained largely constant since the lockout. Likewise, PP-G/60 and SH-G/60 have remained nearly constant as well. The issue is that power play minutes per game have fallen off at a dramatic rate. There are a couple factors that have led to this:
1 - Players have learned what is and is not allowed, and are actually committing fewer penalties.
2 - Officiating standards for what constitutes "interference" as well as other such fouls have become less stringent.
3 - Players have found better ways to "hide" such infractions (think "Detroit style subtle interference).
4 - Due to several retirements, quality of officiating has fallen.
Change those 10 Cent t-shirts to "Is Patrick Kane gonna have to choke a *****?"
That was a great read. Knew Kane was a quit the party dude but wow at choking the girl. Always reminds me of the scene in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest when Randell chokes Nurse Ratched.
