Flames got the Blues

Quite Busy today. Let's get to the point:

- Blues are hot, don't score much. Stempniak is really screwing me in my pools.

- Kipper's awful, but is bound to get better. Who the Hell knows when though.

- Huselius and Langkow's struggles are exaggerated by defensive woes and the contrast to the torrid pace they set in the first month. Their current numbers are in line with the expected regression back to career norms.

- Phaneuf had one of the worst months of his professional career, shortly on the heels of one of his best. Hopefully he settles somewhere in between.

- Moss is out for two months with a high ankle sprain. Yelle might be back in the line-up tonight, however.

- Adam Pardy has been recalled and may play in place of Aucoin, who is battling the Flu. Matt would prefer him over Hale as well.

- "The Oilers are a couple points ahead of you in the standings and have allowed less goals against." That phrase should be printed in big, bold letters in Calgary's dressing room.

- Anything less than an excellent December essentially spells doom for the Flames play-off aspirations.
