The Panthers are facing severe delays as they try to fly to Edmonton for the third game of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Oilers due to a significant storm.

Today, a massive rainstorm struck Florida, forcing airports to cancel most of the flights on schedule, including the Panthers' flight to Edmonton.
"Panthers' flight out of Florida has been delayed due to the massive rainstorm. They still plan to arrive tonight, just not sure how long the delay will be. #NHL"

"Panthers fans trying to get to Edmonton are having a tough time this morning. There are almost no planes being allowed to fly north or west from South Florida due to storms and FAA routing."

Set to leave for Edmonton at 1 pm, the Panthers ended up leaving around 4:30 pm:
"Hearing the Panthers' plane just took off after several delays in South Florida. They won't get into Edmonton until Wednesday night. Thursday has an early puck drop, 6:20 MT. The Oilers flew Tuesday and will get two full nights at home ahead of Game 3."

The home advantage suddenly got a lot bigger for the Oilers, who arrived in Edmonton two days ago and rested at home.
Do you think the Edmonton Oilers will have an unfair advantage over the Panthers going into game three because of their flight delay?
