Elliotte Friedman says that because of parity and the closeness in the standings, particularly in the east, that he doesn't think the Thanksgiving date applies this year.

Don't make it about his performance? It's entirely about his performance.

Elliotte Friedman today saying nobody will be out of it at Thanksgiving like in past years because of the parity and closeness in the standings, particularly in the Eastern Conference. He's correct.

Shhhhhh

Canucks about to lose 8-5. With Demko out yet again, could they be a trade target for UPL?

No, it's that we're in the Sportsnet Pacific region (Canucks), the Oilers are Sportsnet West and blacked out in BC

What is happening, lol. Stupid Sportsnet blocked out here.

When we start getting bodies back we can turn this around. We're only 6 points out of the wildcard with a game at hand. Win that game at hand, we're four points out after playing 19 games. It's a long season.

Well, it's a rare chance to have our entire defence in the lineup, which I believe when healthy is one of the best young D's in the league. It gives us a little hope.

Also, "why do the Sabres keep rushing young players and ruining them?".

Red Wings, Panthers and Lightning all lose in regulation to help us out tonight.

In previous years a big issue was losing in regulation and not getting the loser point. This year the issue is not winning in OT and settling for the loser point. That alone is a pretty big improvement (putting aside the obvious need to get two points on a regular basis).

And I wasn't talking about any of that. My comment was simply we're over .500. Which we are.

I disagree. If you have more points than games played, you're over .500. Full stop. This seems to be a weird hill to die on after a Sabres win.

I'm wasn't talking about wanting to be in the playoffs. I was talking about our record being over .500. Which you've acknowledged by saying six teams are under .500. This isn't overly complicated.
