Starting with David Reinbacher, who has gotten back into the grove that got him drafted by the Canadiens. He is a staple in the defensive end but has also gotten on the score sheet more than last year.

OK. Day before Thanksgiving. This is important. I must summon all of my willpower to eat VERY LIGHT today, thereby justifying the monstrous damage I plan to do tomorrow. The problem with putting me in charge of Thanksgiving Day food is that I will choose anything and everything that I personally want to eat.
