Slow times and just for the sake of discussion I have five random questions. I enjoy all the interest and feedback here and hope this gets some good talk initiated:1) At 23 years old Dion Phaneuf was 5th among all NHL defensman in Minutes per game as well as overall points. He was tied for 24th overall in +/-. In his rookie season he was compared to Ovechkin and Crosby who were also rookies that year. Does his still warrant comparisons to those two as an overall talent, and do you think that we as Flames fans over - rate him?2) What's the most exciting single game you've either been to or watched in the last few seasons? The one that had you on the edge of your seat and thinking 'now that was a great game' when it was over?3) What do you think of Mathew Lombardi's hands? He's often criticized for being all speed and no hands, but he has shown flashes.What is his potential and how much room for improvement do you see him having?4) We were rumored to have interest in Olli Jokinen who ended up going to Phoenix for Keith Ballard and Nick Boynton. What kind of package from us would have been the equivalent and would that have been worth it had it been available?5) Honestly, what's the deal with the Beer at the Saddledome and why does it seem to carry a little extra kick in the a$$?
