Scheduled Off Day Turns Into A Work Day For The Edmonton Oilers

from Ken Campbell of The Hockey News,

Is it possible the NHL and NHL Players' Association will cross swords over the Edmonton Oilers postponing a mandated off day, one day after embarrassing themselves on home ice against the Buffalo Sabres? In a word, yes. According to a source close to the NHLPA, the union is looking into the matter and has 60 days to file a formal grievance. According to a source close to the league, the Oilers have done absolutely nothing wrong and that nothing precludes an organization from changing its mind on when the mandatory days are provided, so long as there are four of them in the month.
