Happy Thanksgiving Yanks

Sorry about the lack of hockey, but at least you can watch the awful Bears against the awful Lions

When it comes to a contest of who is more awful, never bet against the Lions.

The sad part is that the Bears were actually *trying* to win that game and barely did

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and before I gorge myself on food and can no longer think straight, thanks to the mods here and the thankless job they have of keeping this place relatively on the rails. And thanks to hfboards for providing a place where we can debate, discuss and dissect the great sport of hockey to our hearts' content.

Happy Thanksgiving!

FIFA made a drunken bet in 1952 that the first country to make it to the moon got naming rights to the sport, and the rest is history

This is the first explanation ive heard that makes sense.

Happy, your team is f***ed, day. Per Uncle Bob, you are eliminated.

Really wish the NHL got their **** together and offered up some "holiday" games like every other league, but for all we know there's some caveat in the CBA that dictates all players get this day off or something.

They used to have games on American Thanksgiving until a few years ago, the same with Boxing Day.

Christmas also used to have games: the Bruins traditionally hosted a Christmas game for years, but the league ended games on that day in the 1970s.

Happy Thanksgiving to our American posters, no hockey games today as it’s turkey day and football (the real football, not soccer) for you guys.

You may be our obnoxious and rowdy wayward cousin who ventured away from the British Empire while we stayed close to home, but we love you guys and couldn’t ask for a better neighbour. Even if you guys are a little nuts at times.

To keep this to hockey as well, the litmus test for playoffs teams is usually seen by around American Thanksgiving.

Likewise snipes!! Be well.

Send some left over turkey up to the great white North, leftover hot turkey sandwiches sound delicious

I f***ing love mashed potatoes.

Green bean casserole is the USA best dish, I swear.

Is that also how we were awarded freedom units?

Cooked green beans mixed with mushroom soup. Fold in some shredded cheese, whatever type you like, top with a can or two of crunchy French fried onions and then bake until it’s crunchy. Never had it until a neighbor made it a few years ago and it was tasty. Had some today at dinner I went to. I kid you not, when you go to Walmart in the days before Thanksgiving there are pallets of canned green beans in the store. I always wondered why.

In Canada I would replace green beans with hash browns. Same thing. Maybe healthier and less carbs in the USA, lol.

It's been a blast but this is just making me hungry so I am respectfully going to bow out from the food talk

I'm surprised at how many people prefer sweet potato pie over pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. Must be an American thing.

I've been introduced to a southern dish..cornbread stuffing..excellent!!

I made a fruit tart with black berrys and kiwi.

Among the things you wrote here I see mashed potatoes and hash browns. Is that something that you only eat for this holyday or is it everyday type of food that you also need to eat today because it's tradition?
To me mashed potatoes and hash browns (pretty much what we call rösti, I think, or is it different?) are the type of lazy food I prepare when "what do we eat today? f*** it, it'll be rösti" or "Do we have anything to eat with it? Not really, I'll just make a mash"
