Remember when the Stanley cup was awarded in early June? If this series goes to 7, the next series will start around the 22nd or 23rd of May. That's usually when the Stanley Cup finals start. The NHL needs to find a way to wrap up the playoffs in early June again. Nobody wants to watch hockey in July.

A week off is the prize the Oilers get for Kurashev shooting the puck over the glass with a minute to go in the last game of the year. You can't take that away from them.
