I don't agree that the penalized team is getting some great benefit. The score rate on the PP is much higher than even strength (I guess about 4x). Icing the puck provides a great deal of tension and release that I enjoy. It is good that the clock does not stop for this.

The temptation to dive would increase with enhanced PPs.
