Hockey Friday: are power plays charming?

I’m visiting my family in Pennsylvania for a few days and got to watch the Flyers on TV with them last night. Flyers beat the Sens 5-1, so yay, and the first three goals in the game were all power play goals and it got me to thinking. Are power plays charming?

I think they are, in a bizarre way. There’s just something very direct about the punishment of an infraction with the equivalent of a parent’s “time out” for a disobedient child. Of course, when it’s your team that’s received a penalty, it doesn’t seem so charming…
