Ah, playoff hockey in August.

Amid these turbulent times, it’s going to be great to kick back, crack open a cold one on a patio and watch some hockey. Calgary is going to be squaring off against the Dallas Stars in the first round of true, non-play-in playoff hockey.

It’s going to be a great challenge for the Calgary Flames and this series is just as important as the last. And now, we’re going to see what the Flames are made out of.

Here’s when you can catch the first of four Flames-Stars games, all listed in MST.

Game one – Tuesday, Aug. 11 – 3:30 p.m.

Game two – Thursday, Aug. 13 – 8:30 p.m.

Game three – Friday, Aug. 14 – 8:30 p.m.

Game four – Sunday, Aug. 16 – 12 p.m.

Time for some summer playoff hockey, folks.
