from Kevin Allen and Kevin Hascup of USATODAY,

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to our readers. Here are a few gifts we wish we could give to the NHL teams we cover:

Anaheim Ducks: EA Sports' NHL 18 video game, with injuries turned off, to remind the Ducks how dominant they can be once everyone is healthy and playing at 100%.

Arizona Coyotes: New home to call their own. This franchise has been in limbo far too long. They also need a veteran go-to scorer with leadership skills, three bottles of 100 proof confidence, a bushel of goals and few thousand more hardcore fans. It’s hard to know what to get friends who need almost everything.
