The Florida Panthers' flight to Edmonton gets delayed ahead of game 3

In Florida, a big rainstorm forced airports to cancel almost every flight, complicating the Panthers' plans.

Set to leave Florida at 1 pm, they had to remain on the ground and wait for the storm to pass.

This could seriously alter the Panthers' performance going into game three. In every professional sport, game-day routines are very important, and any changes could have an effect on the athletes.

A new report confirmed that the Panthers won't get to Edmonton until at least 8 pm, and that it could even be later:

The Oilers already had the home advantage, but these complications take it to another level.

Do you think the Florida Panthers' performance in Edmonton will be affected by their flight delay?
