I heard on Sportsnet that the first requirement of a top-notch NHL goalie is a short memory. Hand me some goalie pads; I'm going to be an all-star!

The Nashville Predators, knocked out in Round 2 of the 2018 playoffs, raised three banners commemorating last season. I think one of them was for participation.

I hear police in Canada doubled radar patrols from Thanksgiving Monday to Thursday. As expected, many people exceeded the feed limit.

The Nurmagomedov-McGregor UFC showdown turned into a brawl full of surprise attacks,  unbridled hatred and escalating levels of violence. And that was after their fight.

The NY Post claims a police officer/apiarist captured a bee swarm that was frightening lunch-goers on a city street. The insects were later released, with a caution to beehive themselves.

The Toronto Maple Leafs must be starved for banners. Word is they'll send Morgan Rielly's name to the rafters for most points in first five games by a defenceman in the modern era.

Three highlights from the Senators-Bruins game on Canadian Thanksgiving:
3. Two wings per team;
2. Feathered passes;
1. Icing the pluck.

Last Saturday's NHL Global Series had Edmonton playing New Jersey in Sweden, with Devils MVP and ex-Oiler Taylor Hall against ex-Devil Adam Larsson. BTW: What’s Swedish for stupid trade?

Several reports said Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka came to blows after a post-Ryder Cup party. Maybe that’s why they’re called the Bash Brothers?

Mavs owner Mark Cuban has promised the Dallas dancers will wear more family-friendly outfits. Meaning what? Doubling the length of their skirts to two inches?

Olga De Mar, October Playmate of the Month, is featured in Playboy in a series of on-court nude tennis poses. I Googled her name — that's a tennis player that's all over the Net.

It's unlikely Saskatchewan will finish first in the CFL West, which they last did 42 years ago. Mind you, they have something in common with the '76 Riders: Trudeau was prime minister.

Minimum wage in Saskatchewan has increased from $10.96/hour to $11.06/hour. In a related story, the Roughriders just exceeded the CFL salary cap.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has vowed to donate $10 million to women’s groups. Such largess happens when an NBA team finds itself stranded on a lower moral plane.

Vancouver’s NHL team has banned the video game Fortnite during road trips. That must be the game the Canucks were playing last year — it sure wasn’t hockey.

If you are asked to say a prayer before Thanksgiving dinner, do it gracefully.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING CANADA!
