The 70's and 80's were the golden days of power plays. It was not unusual to have multiple teams clicking at rates that would be unheard of today. Tampa Bay was tops in power play % last season @ 28.2% and no team in the last 2 decades (before 2013)had exceeded 26%.
The New York Islanders became the first team to convert on more than 30% of its power plays when they led the league with a 31.7 percent success rate in 75-76. But that mark was topped two seasons later when The Canadians turned 31.9 % of their PP's into goals- edgeing the Islanders, who converted at a 31.3% rate.
The Isles had a 31.2% rate in 78/79 , after that,no team had exceeded 30 until 2013.
The Oilers have been around 30% all year, and are at 29.9% currently.
