The Detroit News’s Ted Kulfan reports that the Red Wings were going to try to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving after today’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs:
Had the Tigers won Saturday in Seattle, [Monday] would have been the Tigers facing the Blue Jays in the first two games of that league championship series the past two evenings in Toronto, which would have been a brilliant opportunity for Detroit sports fans to make the drive east.
But back to Thanksgiving. McLellan planned on trying to find a Thanksgiving dinner in downtown Toronto, but wasn’t sure if he was goign to be successful.
“With the ballgame and everything else going on, I’m not sure how much we’ll wander around town and be able to find anything that is even remotely empty,” McLellan said.
McLellan enjoys the holiday be it in Canada, or the United States.
“Thanksgiving is much like it is here,” McLellan said. “I know my mom has a big meal made at home, and she still cooks for like we all live there, and it is just the two of them, and my Dad eats like a bird, so she’ll have a lot of food to give to the food bank for sure. But Thanksgiving in Canada means a lot, just like it does here.”
