This Week in Anguish Tristan and Ardella Thompson

This week in anguish:
- "Way to go boys! Never doubted you for a second," said your trusty co-hosts while hooked up to an IV drip due to perspiration-related dehydration.
- When you move the goal-posts enough, everything becomes a three-pointer (Does that work as metaphor? Look, we barely even understand hockey.)
- Tristan short-lists the best play-by-play calls of Pyoos Suter's series-winning goal. (Does that qualify as a pun? Probably not.) 
- Time to better get to know more about the historic hardware we might be taking home this season, with our chief archivist reporting in on the Vezina, Adams, Norris, and Byng.

This week in anguish:
- Look, in the regular season these episode descriptions are mildly useful because you never know what vaguely Canuckian rabbit-hole we'll be crawling down to escape the indignities of the week that was, but in the playoffs? We do actually talk about the here and now, we promise.
- That doesn't mean we won't still make time for an exposé on Richard Brodeur's 1982 save percentage and long-forgotten minutiae about Linden's glass-smashing hit.
- Let us ape a little bit of Big Zee's sangfroid sass and go boldly together towards Game 5.

This week in anguish:
- PLAYOFFFFFFFFS!

- You're a captain, Quintin, and don't let nobody tell ya different. 
- Much like the Kübler-Ross stages of grief, the thoughts of your intrepid co-hosts are often misconstrued as being sequential. Can you tell we're getting a bit punchy up here on this playoff precipice? It's the podcast that aims for mildly amusing but has to settle for hysterical.
- What should the Rogers Arena staff, our fellow fans, and society at large be doing and/or not doing at every single moment in time so as to not attract our ire and/or disdain? Find out all this and more in our even-keeled and good-natured review of our recent in-person entrapment at the hands of the LA Kings.

This week in anguish:
- What do we want?
                 - Playoff glory or at least to know the particular nature of our ignominious defeat!
- When do we want it?
                - Now!
( - Yes, we're having a bit of trouble enjoying the remainder of this regular season.)
- What do Ilya Mikheyev, the Babych brothers, this other Babich, Belarussian bazas, and Percy Williams have in common? That's a question Ardella will be sure to answer just as soon as she's finished hand-tabulating the grimmest list on Olympedia. 
- Tristan talks back to the radio. If you can throw a hat, you can throw a jersey. Yes, we are actually uniquely hard done by. And for heaven's sake: grow up, John Tortorella!

This week in anguish:
- Your favourite co-hosts Obstinate and Pliable demonstrate great resilienciness by poking their heads cautiously out of the slough to celebrate Petey's big payday.
- We gird ourselves for the upcoming trade deadline by surveying the best last-minute impulse buys in Canuck history, which quickly reveals itself to be a history of best trade deadline deals in Pat Quinn history.
- Who lacks all conviction in the postseason and who is full of passionate intensity? Mere anarchy is loosed upon the show as Tristan presents his definitive list of the Clutch vs. the Nahsomuch. 
- The third Sedin and the third Courtnall should probably start a support group for tertiary brethren. 
- Broken fourth wall update: Ardella and Rachel worked on a Trevor Linden jigsaw puzzle after recording, and Tristan('s goalie) won his beer league playoff game.
