On the Beat: Early Thanksgiving Edition

What team beat writers are saying this morning:

• The Bruins will debut their new third jersey this afternoon.  Oh.
• Josh Bailey is a lock to remain on the Islanders’ NHL roster, writes Greg Logan.  I realize he has been playing great, but why waste a year of his entry level deal with the team being so poor?
• It appears Tom Poti (groin) won’t play against the Habs today.  Man, do the Caps have a lot of injuries.

Because it is Thanksgiving south of the border, there aren’t as many beat writer posts usual.  As a result, I am going to post some other interesting stories I’ve come across this morning.

• James Mirtle with a follow-up to his demographic study we linked yesterday.  Interesting to see the decrease in Canadian goalies in the NHL.
• Flames fans are loving the Curtis Glencross signing.  Very funny.
• Here is a great article by Tim Wharnsby of the Globe & Mail about Brian Burke the person.  Very good read.
