 FACT: When John and Max go to Chucks to confront him about his  dinner at Arials, John asks Chuck if he enjoyed the Blackhawks game  which went into double overtime. The hockey playoffs are the only  time a game would go into double overtime and are not being played  at Thanksgiving time. Also, the NHL does not play hockey on either  Thanksgiving nor Christmas Day, the only guaranteed off days, making  a game impossible to occur.
