I love the fans who are dismissing something as significant as the travel delays from a routine perspective. It does happen and it can have an impact without a doubt. NHL athletes and other pro sports teams are beyond creatures of habit. The length that these teams/players/leagues go to is shocking. NFL teams literally bring the players preferred ass wipe to Europe in order to avoid issues amongst other details.
Enough NHL players stick to the same routine where they eat the exact same meal every day/game. Process that. The exact same meal. Getting into bed @ 6 am with a scheduled practice day matters.
All this said, I did some quick research and I couldn't see where the team charter actually landed that late. Presumably it took off Sunday morning (1 /2 am?) Nothing on the flight logs do I see anything like that for Boston area airports.
