They are doing it because you need a negative test to fly to the US but not to drive and this ensures nobody get's snagged with a positive test and cannot travel. It has nothing to do with time saving.
I assume the Stars and Flames would like to do something similar but they would need to go out of their way to do it. I don't see any charters out of YYC last night on Flightaware so it's tough to tell. Perhaps fly to Winnipeg, bus to North Dakota and go from there?

Update:
Looks like the Flames just left and are going n/s to Dallas.
