I'm familiar with the numbers. That wasn't an unlucky PP last year, it was a bad PP. Almost never tried to cross the royal road, but the shots generated were from what the statistics consider to be prime ice. It's not that simple though.
I've heard that argument before, but not sure how much I buy that xGF are worth less on the PP. Especially cosidering the Leafs had the 2nd best PP in the league over the previous 2 seasons. Considering the chances didn't drop significantly, but SH% did, it certainly looks like luck.

Tough to tell. Anecdotally I just remember so many tavares slot shots that never seemed to have a chance to go in.
