The 2011 Heritage Classic in Calgary was played on February 20, 2011, not February 22.
Full reasoning
Official NHL game records list the 2011 Tim Hortons Heritage Classic at McMahon Stadium as taking place on Sunday, February 20, 2011. The NHL's own Heritage Classic history page also identifies Calgary's game against Montreal as being played on February 20, 2011. That makes the date in the article two days late.

... selecting McMahon Stadium in Calgary for the second Heritage Classic game on February 20, 2011.
Don Maloney was named the club's director of hockey operations and replaced Treliving as GM on an interim basis.
Maloney was promoted to president of hockey operations, not named director of hockey operations.
Full reasoning
When Brad Treliving departed in April 2023, the Flames and NHL.com both reported that Don Maloney was promoted to president of hockey operations and would serve as interim GM. Calling him the club's 'director of hockey operations' gives him the wrong title.

As part of the trade negotiations, Tkachuk signed an eight-year contract with the Flames before being traded to the Panthers.
Tkachuk did not sign that eight-year deal with Calgary; he agreed to the contract with Florida.
Full reasoning
Official NHL coverage of the trade says Matthew Tkachuk was traded to Florida and agreed to an eight-year contract with the Panthers/Florida, not with the Flames. The Flames' own trade announcement lists the assets acquired from Florida but does not say Calgary signed Tkachuk to that long-term deal. So the article reverses which team signed the contract in the sign-and-trade sequence.
