of the 20th century. Jews, of course, do not celebrate Christmas, so they’d be more likely than the Christian majority to go out to eat then, as opposed to their celebrating neighbors who are likely at home with family, roasting their own turkeys and such. And where do they go on Christmas? Well, most restaurants are going to be closed, because their predominantly Christian proprietors and employees are also at home. The major exception, then, was Chinese restaurants. The immigrants running those places were less likely than average to be Christian, so they had no cultural tradition of shutting down on or around December 25. So if you’re a Jewish New Yorker who wants to go out for dinner on Christmas, it’s Chinese food or nothing. This practice may have been popularized in particular by Calvin Trillin, the noted food columnist for the New York Times. He was himself Jewish and wrote a marvelous column about his wife wanting a “traditional holiday dinner.” What she was talking about was the idea, coming in from outside their cultural world, of turkey, mashed potatoes, and so on, but to Trillin, his traditional holiday dinner was going out for Chinese.

The Devils were playing the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2nd round of the 2003 Stanley Cup playoffs, in game 3 it was already clear that the New Jersey Devils were the Jason Kelce Vintage Washed Shirt Center Homage Graphic Unisex T Shirt hockey team thus they ultimately were going to the next round; the Tampa Bay Lightning were a psychologically beaten team. Early in the first period of Game 3, a frustrated Pavel Kubina flung an eye level dump-in shot from inside the blue line that sailed high and hit the stalwart Devils defender on the side of the face. The shot opened a cut near Stevens’ left ear that required 15 stitches. The Devils captain left the game and didn’t return. Stevens returned the next game, and led the Devils to victory over Tampa Bay & went on to lead the Devils to their 3rd Stanley Cup. Scott Stevens was never the same after getting hit in the head with that shot. He had to retire in early 2004 because of post-concussion syndrome from getting hit in the head with a hockey puck. His Hall of Fame Career was cut short & an end to the New Jersey Devils reign of superiority that began a decade ago. The end of a dynasty because of a guy getting hit in the head with a hockey puck.
