Anyone know when the NHL will release the playoff schedule? Regular season ends Thursday and I've seen reports that the playoffs start Saturday.

It looks like the Commonwealth Stadium Rehabilitation Tender has been awarded to Clark Builders, has a budget of 3.05 million dollars and is in the Development Design Phase. https://vendor.purchasingconnection.ca/OpportunityAwards.aspx?Guid=28f4ae19-b6c8-ca64-1078-39c2ed480000&...

I was looking through the 2023-2026 Edmonton Capital Budget and saw $1.2 million for Commonwealth Stadium Equipment which mentions improvements to the concessions and stadium suites (pages 113-116). More interestingly, it appears (my interpretation may be off) there is $69,485,000 set aside that...
