So yes, 19% is bad, but context is needed to see just how bad.

100%. But the context that we DO have is that the Flames have the worst percentage.
Considering that it is 15 years of data, I would assume that the average time per 5 on 3 is largely evened out for all teams. Until we see the data we don't know, but the baseline assumption would be that all teams would be pretty close for time per PP opportunity.
