So childish though, if they want fans who aren't able to attend just stream it in their website prior to puck drop. No need to extend the game by almost an hour. 8PM start times on a weekday to accommodate the double header is annoying enough.

Exactly why I LOVE that the Oilers are doing this! I wish it were two hours.
You see, I hate the Oilers so much that I feel just my hate alone is not enough. I desire the entire world to hate the Oilers and the stupid city of Edmonton.
Well, four (4) #1 Overall Picks really helped in that cause. I kinda/sorta wish they got Matthews this year too. But this has caused even fans in Tampa who can't point to Edmonton on a map to genuinely despise the Oilers.
NOW they need to open their building for an hour on National TV? When every true hockey fan has been counting down the minutes until real NHL hockey is played...and some presumably will even keep their TVs on past 10:00pm Eastern Time to see what all the McDavid (Gaudreau) fuss is about...and instead it will be non-stop mullets!
Just perfect! I will not watch but happily stay up an extra 45-minutes if it means hundreds (maybe even thousands) of hockey fans are out-raged by how inconsiderate (and insecure) the Oiler family has become. I love it!
