BoA Matt made an interesting point in the comments section the other day — Olli Jokinen's play has a habit of making certain Flames fans nostalgic about Matthew Lombardi, but then they tend to miss him a lot less when they see the speedy Phoenix centreman (it's now an international law that the word "speedy" must be used in any story or blog entry about Lombardi) do not much of anything in head-to-head action with his former club.

We are always projecting how a player will turn out, but is there an accurate formula? Some superstars reach and maintain their potential right away like Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin, while others take much longer before they become a productive scorer.
And the winners are . . .

In October, each of Western Canada's three National Hockey League entries recorded seven victories. In November, however, it was no contest.
While the Flames took over top spot in the Northwest Division with 10 November wins (eight of them coming on the road), the Canucks went 7-5 while the Oilers lost 10 games (seven in regulation, three via shootout) as well as the services of Ales Hemsky for the remainder of the season.
