Friends, it might be awhile until the Calgary Flames play hockey games again. But when they do, their schedule is going to be fast and furious. Put simply: they’ll have to play a lot of games in a very compact amount of time, and it will probably be very challenging and stressful for all involved.
Let me explain what I mean…
The Flames have played 28 games this season, and have 50 “regularly scheduled” games remaining plus four postponed games that require rescheduling.
Assuming that they’re back playing on Dec. 21 – which seems unlikely right now – that will be on the 71st day of the season, leaving 130 days remaining in the regular season.
