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.

This week in anguish:
- "I went ballistic" - Ardella Thompson
- Remember the Sandman? Sure you do. Remember "The Big C.S."? Liar. 
- "Arshdeep, I'ma let you finish, but Andreas Martinsen had one of the South Asian NHL debuts of all time!" 
- Thanks to Kuldip Bains and Brenton Demko for providing a rare dollop of good vibes. 
- We excoriate ourselves for ever subscribing to the Team of Destiny newsletter, and then talk ourselves fifty percent of the way back onto the bandwagon.

This week in anguish:
- Mustering all the wisdom and sangfroid of her half-century of Canuck fandom, Ardella enters and sagely proclaims, "Pride goeth before the fa-...Hey! Get up, you bum! Are you kidding me!? Aaaaaagh!", flipping over a coaster, and stomping out of the room. 
- Look, we remain cautiously optimistic for our seemingly singular swing at the mini-golf windmill, but this week brought back up a feeling or two. 
- Shortly after pointing out his criminal brow shape, Tristan frames Noah Juulsen as a question.  
- Ardella's Media Miscellany provides third-degree buzz marketing for Tanti Interiors Ltd and offers an excitingly unpaid voice acting opportunity to Daniel Wagner.
