Covid also has made grieving the loss of a loved one very difficult. Seems rather petty IMO.

His opinion was that the Oilers should get special treatment from the NHL. I recall the Canucks having a memorial for Luc Bourdon 8 months after he tragically died and they played that night. Has the NHL ever rescheduled games because they coincide with things like that, or is that just an Oilers thing?
I agree it's a valid reason to feel ####ty that day, but to call out the NHL was not appropriate. Especially for a guy that already gets special treatment.
