New Month, Same Juggernaut
What a month of November that was! 13 games, won 11 of them, and our only two losses came past regulation. No regulation losses in November, and still only one regulation loss all season! But we are now in a new month, the month of December. The final month of the calendar year, but in the NHL, December ends the whole "it's early" vibe. December begins the NHL's transition into midseason form, with January placing the league at that exact part of the season.

A November to Remember
I still remember January 2022. The NHL was coming off a mini-COVID outbreak that ended the 2021 calendar year, and in the second day of 2022, the Avs faced the Anaheim Ducks and won. Little did any of us know that it would be the start of a monstrous month that saw the Avs decide to not lose in regulation. As awesome as winning streaks are, and they are awesome, the point streaks are even more epic. Yes, they include losing in overtime or shootout, but teams who find a way to get points get a lot of notice.

NFL Week 13 Recap: Leftovers
If there's a holiday known for leftovers, it's Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving leftovers could span about two extra days, three if you're lucky. In the case of the NFL's Thanksgiving weekend, following the three Turkey Day games and the Black Friday game, we get a lot of leftovers--in the form of the remaining 12 games (11 on Sunday, and one on Monday). The one that is giving me the most concern is the meeting between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Buffalo Bills, and regarding the former, they entered Sunday on top of the AFC North due to the Ravens fizzling. They had a 7-3 lead at halftime; it was looking good.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United: A Match Showing Two Teams on Different Trajectories . AI-Generated.
Setting the Scene When Crystal Palace hosted Manchester United at Selhurst Park, the fixture appeared routine on paper. United, one of the Premier League’s most decorated clubs, were expected to dominate a mid-table Palace side still figuring out its rhythm under new leadership. But football rarely follows the logic written in the league table. Instead, what played out was a telling reflection of two clubs—one quietly climbing through steady progress and the other stuck between identity and execution.

NFL Week 13 Thanksgiving & Black Friday Recap: A Seat at the Table
Thanksgiving, for many decades, has always been about the three "Fs": family, food, and football. When it comes to that latter third, the football is often competitive, as Thanksgiving always kicks off the home stretch of the NFL season. Now it would be wild enough if it was just Thanksgiving, but in 2023, Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) became part of the wonderful madness as well. So after feasting on food and football, you sleep it off, then wake up at crazy hours to beat the crowds and shop for the holidays, and then make it home in time for one more game for that day. Beautiful!
