This week in anguish:
- Winning the week while protecting Christopher Tanev's face and Jacob Markström's pride (and ignoring the ongoing descent to hell in New Jersey)
- Ardella slyly coins a wonderful phrase. "At one point there was a scrumble in front of the goalie." Delightful.
- Old Man Jannik and the case of the plastic shells.
- We talk Black History Month in various forms, including appreciating the Canucks' newest jersey design, going ghost-hunting through Madison Bowie's article, and naming the also-rans in Justin Bailey's chronicle of Black Cancucks.
- Nat Bailey's ultimately unsuccessful efforts to torpedo Ernie Dougherty's career.
- Slap Shot is 45 years old and there is a great deal we still dont' understand.
- Prospect potpourri, including Aidan McDonagh and a plague of Huskies, Gunnarwolfe Fontaine's admission to the all-name team, Klimovich's journey from Pinsk to Minsk, and Lucas Forsell's animorphosis.
