Counting power play opportunities

A hold-over problem from earlier versions of FHM is that penalties that do not result in a power play (i.e., off-setting minors) are counted as power play opportunities (which they are not), and this count is reflected not just in the box score but also in the team power play stats.

I thought we had that fixed, but it looks like it's doing it again, we'll have another look. It's only in the boxscores, though - I just checked it, in their season opener Chicago was 1/5 in the boxscore and Colorado was 1/4 (when it should've been 1/4 and 1/3 but a coincidental minor added one to each total), but in the league stats the power play totals correctly showed 1/4 and 1/3.

Thanks for checking this. I thought my check of team stats had reflected the error in the box scores, but I guess I didn't count correctly.
