The net effect would I say you HAD a 2:00 power play, then you blew it by getting a penalty. Count it as a failed pp. In addition, the initially penalized team earned the quick pp kill through discipline? OTOH, after the initial 2:00, they get a pp and shorthanded for two seconds, too. I can't justify these in the same fashion... Those two seconds might make a difference now that he doesn't have to "tag up" when coming out of the box, though. :) In addition, these opinions if mine have nothing to do with what the rules might say--it's just my opinion.
