Oilers next foe: Dora the Explorer?
As the Oilers prepare to face either Buffalo or Carolina in their first Stanley Cup Final since 1990, a scheduling conflict has been discovered for Game 6 at Rexall Place.
According to the Edmonton Journal, popular children's entertainer Dora the Explorer has a stage show booked on June 17th, with 5,292 of the 6,600 tickets having already been sold.
The NHL, Rexall Place and organizers of the Dora show were all working together Tuesday to come up with a solution.
This isn't the first time Dora has stymied a Canadian hockey club during playoffs. In the second round, the Ottawa Senators were forced to delay Game 2 against Buffalo because the popular Latina heroine had five shows scheduled at Scotiabank Place on May 6 and 7.
The television show Dora the Explorer airs on Nickelodeon in the United States and on Treehouse TV in Canada. In each episode, the bilingual Dora goes on an adventure with her talking backpack and Boots the monkey, who help her overcome obstacles in Spanish and English.
