Yes, I changed up the title a little for today, since it's the Canadian Thanksgiving Monday up here. And now that I think of it, maybe I should make myself some form of a turkey dinner tonight, to enjoy while the Canucks host the Panthers. As Sean already stated in the preview, we get to see Darcy Hordichuk and Steve Bernier so soon after we traded them away, and apparently they already got points against the Oilers the other night. If they're that effective again in the Florida lineup, this could bite us in the ass. Be sure to visit tonight's nemesis at Litter Box Cats (although it looks like they're starting to develop a community, it's still much quieter there than it is here).
