On Friday, the NHLPA voted 29-2 for the league to proceed with a plan to allow 24 teams in this year’s paused season to be a part of the playoffs. However, one of the two teams that voted “no” on the proposal was the New York Ranger’s projected first-round opponent, the Carolina Hurricanes. The other team who voted “no” was the Tampa Bay Lightning, who have at least offered some reasons as to why they voted no, which you can read in an article that was published earlier here at Empire Sports Media. As of now, all we have is speculation as to why Carolina voted the way they did.
