We Now Know Why The NHL Changed The Oilers' Playoff Schedule

The season of playoff hockey is here again, and the competition for high ratings between ESPN and TNT is heating up as teams bring their A-game to the ice. However, this season, the league had to make some adjustments to the playoff schedule, which may not have been entirely their decision.

According to Elliott Friedman's 32 Thoughts, the game between Edmonton and Vegas had to be rescheduled due to the Florida Panthers having to adjust their own game schedule for the Miami Heat, who were also in playoff mode. This unexpected turn of events caused some unpleasantness, with Mark Stone leaving practice early. To make matters worse, a former player's comments only added to the mess.
