No one cares about the other team's 'game day rituals' and they never will. Also, they didn't give them a 3:30 start. They gave them an 11:30 start. So, that criticism doesn't even make sense.

No you're overreacting because you don't have all the information needed to reach such a conclusion. You want it to be that way just to do this very thing. The Oilers probably beat the Sharks as I've stated since before the series started. It doesn't change that you and others are making something out of nothing.

I mean you kind of are overreacting but ok
Edit: also does this really deserve it's own thread so Oiler fans can bash the sharks and their org without any real proof as to what happened aside from some stories from Canadian media that imply the Sharks purposely made them practice in the dark

All those years of playoff disappointment really got the heads of the SJ management it seems.
They'll literally do anything to get an edge in what should be an easy series for San Jose.

They gave them an 11:30 start when they were capable of giving them an earlier start which the Oilers wanted.

Scotty Bowman used to have the wings visitor locker room painted before home games in the play-offs. Sometimes pink. And sometimes multiple times a series. The paint was still wet, and stunk when it was game time.
This really is a new age of "special snowflake" mentality that this is viewed as "Dirty" and classless.
Welcome to play-off gamesmanship. Id have been ok if they locked em out of the arena until they were scheduled to start.

I mean yeah, if there was no one there to turn on the lights and get the nets, but I'm not so sure that's the case. Doesn't really make a difference anyway, and I find it kind of funny. Good to know the building crew is "into it" too.

Nice how the Sharks scheduled a 11:30 practice for themselves then started skating at quarter to 11.
Don't be surprised when the Oilers visitors dressing room smells like rotting fish and toxic fumes.
Nice.
Nice.
Well if we assume they had total control of both decisions, it is their building and they're not under any obligation to grant the Oilers' request. In essence, you're complaining that they had to start their practice at the designated starting time. That seems like an unwarranted sense of entitlement to complain about wanting to start earlier.
Me 2. I doubt it will give them any advantage but as the home team, they entitled to do it. Anyone crying about it is ridiculous.
This is playoffs. You shouldn't be rolling out the red carpet to your opponents.
