So the oilers felt they had to sit Kane out game 1 to make sure it looked legit. In other news Tkachuk expected to play game 1 tonight for Florida. lol, of course he is. 3 point night in game 1 for the perfectly timed recovered Tkachuk. So it's still fine for certain teams to do this. The Oilers just aren't one of those teams I guess I mean we all called it. Sounded like conspiracy theorists of course. But here we are... We've all joked for years that they will keep the LTIR loophole open until the Oilers do it. We already broke the draft system... painfully and unintentionally.

3+ years in a row of the same teams exploiting it without a word and winning cups because of the extra players they were able to add, thanks to perfectly delayed recoveries of players for game 1 of the playoffs.

The Oilers finally have an injury to do it and the NHL is doing hardcore investigating for why players can't play game 82 of the regular season. Except with Florida I guess.

Has to just be a coincidence!
