Good morning folks. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Hope holiday celebrations have been going well for everyone, and that everyone is safe. The league is off again today, but the Isles are back it tomorrow night against the Capitals. Let's get to it, yes?
- Jiggs McDonald, longtime announcer for the Isles and original commentator for the Kings, is set to retire completely from broadcasting in February after calling one last Kings game. [Islanders Insight]
- 2016 first-round pick Kieffer Bellows has made the cut for Team USA. Happy for him.
