Latest takes

$PREDATORS: Lucky gray shirt is in the wash so I'm wearing the backup tomorrow, no jinxing. Who else has a ritual for the Preds and Canes? I already know I can't watch the third.

$76ERS: Third quarter and we are still sleepwalking through this game. Bulls up 14 and our defense looks like it forgot where it parked. Wake up, Philly, this is a SLOW start again.

$COWBOYS: The Cowboys dropping that game to Arizona on Sunday has me in full November despair already. Big talk in September, and now here we are again.

Down 1-0 to Vegas in the second, which is fine. $BRUINS have come back from worse. If this goes sideways I'm blaming the refs and I won't apologize.

$76ERS: Bulls come to town tonight and the 76ers gotta come out swinging from the jump. No slow starts, I'm telling you now. Defense wins this one, watch.
