Non-Oilers fans on here think the Oilers will struggle once the refs put their whistles away in the playoffs. Georges at Lowetide posted an interesting rebuttal:

“… referees often put away the whistle in the playoffs.”

No, they don’t.

It’s easy to check.

Here’s the team PP report for 2018-19:

http://www.nhl.com/stats/teams?aggregate=0&report=powerplay&reportType=season&seasonFrom=20182019&seasonTo=20182019&gameType=2&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&sort=ppOpportunitiesPerGame&page=0&pageSize=100

And here’s the team PP report for the 2018-19 playoffs:

http://www.nhl.com/stats/teams?aggregate=0&report=powerplay&reportType=season&seasonFrom=20182019&seasonTo=20182019&gameType=3&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&sort=ppOpportunitiesPerGame&page=0&pageSize=100

The median PP Opportunities per GP in the regular season was 2.88. The median PP Opportunities per GP in the playoffs was 3.09. You can check other recent years to see if that holds up. I checked 16-17 and 17-18 and saw that it did.

I think 11 of the 16 playoff teams had more PP Opps per GP in the playoffs.

Interestingly, all 5 of the teams that saw a drop in their PP Opps lost in the first round.

Of course. It looks pretty even though.
