edmonton oilers games changed for this reason?

It's that time of the year again - playoff hockey season! ESPN and TNT are vying for the highest ratings as teams bring their A-game to the ice.

However, this season, Gary Bettman and the league had to make some changes to the playoff schedule, which may not have been entirely their decision.

According to Elliott Friedman's 32 Thoughts, the Edmonton-Vegas game 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.

On top of that, there was some unpleasantness with Mark Stone leaving practice early, and a former player's comments only added to the mess.
