American Thanksgiving is considered an important date for NHL teams.
Teams in playoff position on Thanksgiving night have reached the postseason 77.5 percent time, according to Sportsnet. If you're in a playoff spot on Turkey Day, you're probably playing hockey in the Spring.
With that in mind, we thought it'd be important to call together an NHL Roundtable to discuss which teams in a playoff position won't be heading to the playoffs. Which teams off to strong starts will falter down the stretch?
Disagree with our staff or have a team in mind that won't make it?
