Yes. As long as you didn’t put any friendly bucks on the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Flyers are 3-9 in November. And they’re Philly’s best active pro team right now. When the Phillies are the city’s best option and they’re not even playing, it’s time to give up sports for knitting.
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends. If y'all can finish dinner and make it to Canada, we're already selling stuff real cheap up here.

Hooray beer!
Ron Duguay Goes Corporate
Those in the New York area who were around long enough remember Ron Duguay from his playing days with the Rangers in the late 70’s when they made their improbable run to the Stanley Cup Final. Those who don’t go back so far remember him as the MSG analyst who dresses like this:
@katiebakes love that Ron Duguay is referenced. "Those guys did jeans commercials." Of COURSE Ronnie did. pic.twitter.com/AOFpiTuDY5

Well someone got to Duguay, because he showed up last week dressed like this:
Yo, my man, has Ron Duguay been neutered?? pic.twitter.com/j3jwLRcNlJ

Carey Price Injured Again
And this time you can’t blame Chris Kreider.
So what happened to Carey Price? Chris Kreider?
— nicola (@bratriice) November 26, 2015
No, I said you CAN’T blame Chris Kreider.
Habs Province freaked out:

Montreal promises nothing.
Suicide watch in Montreal as Carey Price is replaced by Mike Condon to start 3rd period.

The Roberto Luongo Tweets Of The Week
A two-parter, as earlier in the week Luongo was absolutely torched by Mats Zuccarello of the Rangers on a breakaway goal, and it was foretold before the period by MSG analyst and former goalie Martin Biron:
To beat Luongo on a penalty shot or shootout you need to deke him. He was already down before Kreider shot the puck.
— Martin Biron (@martybiron43) November 22, 2015
Mats listened …
Oh my goodness what a move by #Zuccarello.
3-2 #NYRangers lead in Florida.https://t.co/TpDfkwjSHM— ESNY (@EliteSportsNY) November 22, 2015
So Zuccarello dekes Luongo right out of his equipment. Wonder if he reads my tweets between periods!!
— Martin Biron (@martybiron43) November 22, 2015
@zuccarello36 fooled Luongo like Frodo fooled the Nazgûl. #LGR #NYR #RingWraith #Hobbit

It would have been enough for Luongo to go into Twitter hiding for the next three weeks, except he had already been in hiding for the previous three weeks. Until Eddie Lack failed his driving test.
Wait, what?
Failed my drivers test today, guess I was smarter when I was 18…😁😁😁
— Eddie Lack🇸🇪🇺🇸🇨🇦 (@eddielack) November 24, 2015
Don't worry guys it's still safe. If u see me around tho I would pull over and let me pass… pic.twitter.com/pCUgFcF6ZU

Next time I won't play @justinbieber in the car. Guess he wasn't a #Belieber

And that was the tweet that brought Strombone1 out of hiding …

And Finally …
For no real reason:
