    The holidays are a time for joy, so we took a page from South Park's book to bring some merriment and whimsy to even the most hardened fans.

    The holidays are a time for joy, so we took a page from South Park's book to bring some merriment and whimsy to even the most hardened fans.

    If you’re a fan of South Park, you have undoubtedly become transfixed with the concept of “member berries,” the nostalgic talking fruits that were a staple of the most recent season. Needless to say, it’s become a bit of a meme with us South Park watchers in the office and I felt that with the holidays approaching, every NHL fan deserved some good memories. So I’ve put together a list of member berry candidates for all 30 teams. My only rule was that current players were not eligible. This will also be a lot funnier if you think of the berries’ voices when you’re reading it. A primer:
