I hope all our American friends had a lovely Thanksgiving and our Canadian friends had a lovely Thursday at work getting updates on their phones and wondering aloud “Why is there football on at 1:30 p.—oh yeah that’s right.”
We’re so thankful for our New York Islanders, aren’t we folks? We get to be thankful for them again this afternoon as they pay a visit to Washington, D.C., where President Abraham Lincoln declared the final Thursday of November 1863 a national “day of Thanksgiving.” They take on the Washington Capitals, who are among the league’s best teams, which I don’t think anyone predicted.
