I'm sort of a believer in that Thanksgiving rule that people talk about with the standings. So reading all these sad posts about down metro teams has me believing that the islanders will safely make the playoffs but also that the metro will have 5 teams with legit shots at mcdavid/eichel and I'd rather not see them in my division for the next 10 years, it has enough superstar caliber talent already thanks

My rule is basically Christmas. If you're a couple games under .500 at Thanksgiving you can still easily turn it around, but by Christmas if you suck, you give yourself a big uphill climb, and if you're 10 games over like the Isles are by then, even if you don't play well the rest of the season you'll probably make the playoffs.

I bet those locker room chats are a hoot, Josefson probably terrified that the only thing to talk about once you hit 30 is wives and getting fat.

Are you serious, I was kidding when I said that. It's a good move because Zajac and Henrique are both out and Gomez showed some promise in training camp but to me he's nothing more than a fourth-line center who might or might not be effective. This team is still a disaster and I'm expecting a bottom 8-10 finish out of them this year.

I know you were kidding. Point is, I'm not sure he can even play NHL-level hockey poorly at this point. He was an OK possession guy on a deep Sharks team and was bad in Florida.

What's with Lou taking on all these ex-Sharks? He's got Havlat, Clowe, Goc, and Gomez now.

Oh man, nhlstats had the Devils average age being 2 full years older than the 2nd oldest team in the league, and I think that was before they added Gomez.

Also Montreal went from middle of the pack to 4th oldest team in the league after adding Gonchar and Allen.

Brain fart, there are too many former Sharks third line centers floating around the league

calling Gomez an ex-Shark is like calling Gretzky an ex-Blue

Scott Gomez is #1 at putting the puck on target and that target is the middle of the goalie's chest, always
