For example the Flames have had 239:01 minutes PP time and 29 goals

So Calgary's PP ratio would be 1 goal every 8:15 minutes

Oilers have had 243:16 PP time and 33 goals
They're ratio would be 1 goal every 7:25 minutes

and so on.
Exactly - I have always argued this.

Truly astounding that they do it the way they do.
