Or when it comes to the eastern conference this year, there are no good teams.

At least not until Florida gets healthy.

No great teams, but some good teams. 

Carolina is good, but just like most years, not 'good enough' to be a dominant team.

Washington is good.  Not great, but solid.

New Jersey is good. But they just can't get Jack Hughes to be healthy enough to challenge 'great'.

Actually, I thought there would be more. Thats all I have.

Well the old adage is if you're out of it at Thanksgiving you're out of it so after tonight check the standings.  

It is more that it is a "good indicator" Every year, at least two teams per conference that were NOT in a playoff spot by american Thanksgiving make it in. Last year Montreal was in dead last and rallied to make the playoffs. Do I think the Sabres will do that this year? Not really - but it could happen, I suppose.

Colorado and Dallas are wagons. Must be fun to be a fan of those teams.

All the talk in the Penguin game thread about goaltenders needing to steal a game here and there. Islanders outshot the Bruins 45 - 14 last night.  Boston wins 3 - 1.  Swayman 44 saves.
