This week in anguish:
- We play a round of Vancouver's new least-favourite board game, Twisted Incentives.
- Alexandre Ménard-Burrows is back behind the bench of les Habitants, and it leads us to a check-in with all our old 2011 besties. Sure, we've lost touch a bit in the last decade, but it's nice to hear so many of them are doing well. I'm sure they meant to write.
- Canuck connections led us to two tragic stories this week: the death of Corey Schneider's nephew in a house fire (link to family GoFundMe page), and the 2017 death at police hands of Koray Celik (link to Ottawa Life Magazine story).
- We stuff even more receipts into Thomas Drance's already overladen attaché as we welcome him back from his triumphant trip to Buffalo to...prove that we're really, like, unfathomably the worst.
- In this week's Stech in Time: Your boy scores his first of the year and first as a Red Wing, assisted byyyy...Sam Gagner. This brings up some things.
- Is anybody clutch in the playoffs? Is that a thing? If it's a thing, does Vasily Podkolzin have some of that thing? How much, would you say?
- One Timers this week is brought to you by an adorably churlish Pavel Bure. Blink and you'll miss it.
- How Did We Not Know how ludicrously unfair a mismatch exists between the expansion draft rules for the Canucks in 1970 and the Kraken today. And still Vegas seems to get the easiest ride ever.
- We need a song.
