Happy holidays from Canes Country! We’re taking Wednesday off (and not because of any imminent doom to our site, either!) so this will carry us through to Thursday morning. No matter how - or if - you celebrate the holiday season, we wish you peace and good cheer, and we offer our thanks and deep appreciation for your continued support of our site.

Feel free to drop any links you’d like to share in the comments. From all of us on the Canes Country staff, we wish you a merry Christmas and a very happy holiday season!

  • Jeremy Roenick is no stranger to saying dumb stuff, but this time it might cost him his job. [Associated Press]
  • It seems every team has a locker room fixture that is universally beloved, but the Predators’ room attendant might take the cake. [Tennessean]
  • The Rangers only have themselves to blame for botching the Lias Andersson situation from day one. [Blueshirt Banter]
  • Jaccob Slavin and former Hurricanes center Derek Ryan are featured in a deep dive into the faith commitments of members of the hockey community. [The Score]
