I am not sure how applicable that saying is anymore though. At least there seem to be teams that buck that trend more often. The most immediate example the comes to mind is the St.Louis Blues the year they won the cup where they were putrid all the way until January and just turned course 180 degrees.

The loser point has really changed things, I don't think US Thanksgiving matters, and it seems pretty early in the season anyways. If you are .500 or better you should still have a chance, if you are floundering like the Blue Jackets and Canucks you are probably cooked.
