We don’t have official word from the league or broadcasters yet, but it seems like times are starting to emerge from the online chatter. In the case of the Calgary Flames, a pretty reliable source has reported some times for the Flames’ qualifying round series with the Winnipeg Jets.

That’s right: our pal Pat.

Monday is Alberta Heritage Day, a provincial holiday that recognizes and celebrates the varied culture heritage of Albertans (according to the provincial government website). It takes place a month before the anniversary of Alberta becoming a province in 1905, probably because we already had a long weekend in September in the form of Labour Day.

Games 4 and 5, if necessary, are scheduled for Thu., Aug. 6 and Sat., Aug. 8. In keeping with tradition, those games won’t have times hammered out until it’s clear if they’ll be needed to decide the series.
