Two power plays

Yes

This gets complicated.  Let's do a for instance.  Time is time on clock,
not elapsed time
10:00    U1  2 + 2
  9:00    U2    5
  7:53                        A1 goal
Power plays         A1 has 3 power plays here - 2 for the 2bl minor and 1
for the major.  So, if they get only the one goal, you get a 1 for 3.
Interesting thing about majors.  If you score a goal, you get another
power play attempt.  So if  you get 2 goals on mojor you're credited as
being 2 for 3.
 
I think the best indicator is goals scored vs time on the PP.  A team
that scores 3 goals in 3 min of PP time would be judged more "Efficient"
than a team that was 3 goals in 5:45.

10 minutes added to the players PIM total.
