Recent Elite Playoff PPs

[Big Daddy Cane]

Among those that have won 8 playoff games or more (~Conference Finalist sample size), 4 of the Top 5 PP efficiency slots are occupied by teams since 18-19.

1. 80-81 New York Islanders - 37.8%
2. 21-22 Colorado Avalanche - 32.8%
3. 18-19 Boston Bruins - 32.4%
4. 20-21 Tampa Bay Lightning - 32.4%
5. 21-22 New York Rangers - 32.1%

No other team meeting the criteria has crossed the 30% threshold (Link).

It the cluster a fluke or is something else going on here?

The fact that Cassidy's Bruins are right up there makes me optmistic. Now only if Boston would lend him Pasta and Marchand...

Kind of funny with all the fire Ray bennet posts throughout the seasons.

Surprising. Mostly recent teams. That means the PP has improved over time? That would be interesting considering how shot blocking and goaltending has also vastly improved.
