Edmonton Oilers allowing Kane special treatment to prepare for playoff games like a rockstar
According to former NHLer Jordan Schmaltz, the Oilers allowed Kane to charter a Rolls Royce to drive from Vegas to Edmonton instead of flying with the team.
They're reportedly giving him «Dennis Rodman-type» treatment, which basically means letting him do his own thing. Some team officials aren't too fond of it, but if it's helping him be a quality player - no one will question it.
Not only is Kane taking a Roll Royce to Edmonton, he's showing up to every playoff game in a different supercar and sometimes with a chauffeur. Kane says he does it to fire up his teammates and himself before a game.
I mean, we're on a roll. I've done little things like that through the course of my tenure here in Edmonton, and the boys seem to love it. So, we'll keep it going.

For Game 3 in Edmonton, Kane was filmed showing up in a Ferrari. It's getting pretty difficult to keep topping his previous car. It's clearly working, with Kane scoring 5 points in 7 playoff games.
If the teammates love it and it's firing up Kane to play like a rockstar on the ice, he absolutely needs to keep it up.
