This week in anguish:

- Our thoughts are with the players, coaching staff, and especially their families as they battle Covid-19 infections.

- We still make time to celebrate the Canucks putting a $25 million dollar promise ring on Thatcher Demko.

- Tristan does not even halfway hatch a theory about on-ice contributions vs. locker room compositions before getting bogged down in an effort to prove that the Canucks are Canada's most Serbian NHL team.

- What kind of a name is Smyl, anyhow?

- At long last, Jordie Benn gets his glowingly lit, soft-focus player profile. Wear your dang visor, Jordie. 

- One-Timers this week feature Kole Lind, Pat O'Neill, and a Nate Schmidt so desperate for human contact that he's considering playing one of these videographic games.
