With a week off from the Sunday Canes Chronicle last week with the holiday weekend, this week’s edition finds the 2016-17 already a few games past the one quarter mark and the Thanksgiving holiday that has proven to be a pretty strong indicator of who will ultimately make the NHL playoffs.

Below are some articles on the quarter mark of the season and also a grab bag of some other great Canes hockey coverage from around the internet.
