This Week in Anguish is the Canucks podcast that feels your pain out loud. A weekly conversation about the only thing that really matters with co-hosts Tristan and Ardella Thompson. New episodes released weekly during the season and occasionally during the off-season.
This week in anguish: - We mourn the loss of John Garrett, who exemplified what a Canuck should be. - Was lovingly constructed in small, artisinal batches and later reassembeled by experienced anguish technicians. - Reminds us, via the Goldeneyes, what a fun hockey game and cheer-forable hockey team feels like. - Finally gets down to business with an evisceration of the post-Alllvin-firing Jim…
This week in anguish: - We declare a unilateral temporary armistice with the present and bury our heads in the sands of time in honour of the eternal voice of your Vancouver Canucks, Jim Robson. - And yet, there's always time to pour one out for Petey. -We scrutinize Tyler's miserly parting words as a Canuck, and note that Conor at least threw a garland or two to the city that--...no, I can't go…
This golden week: - Has established for a fact that delaying the editing of a podcast is not the last little superstitious push the Olympians needed to get them across the golden goal-line. - Sure, Claire Thompson may be known as Human ChatGPT to her teammates, but your stalwart co-Thompsons are unintimidated, since they've long been known as the Human Microfiche and the Human Disc One of…
This week in anguish: - Firing madly off in all directions, various admixtures of goodbye, good riddance, and good grief are extended to Minnesota Wild legend Quinn Hughes, the culture of the team, and the powers that be who inculcated it. - We've worked out way through denial and anger, and have swum through our familiar wallowing hole of depression. Join us next time as we attempt to…
This golden week... - Is vanguarded by some pretty sweet intro music, eh? It's a section from the track "Beach Runner" off the excellent Ocean City LP by Pacific Coliseum . - This Week in Gulls flew too close to the sun on its one and only sortie; we disavow all past anguishes and grievances and welcome This Golden Week into the Thompsopodiverse. - Wrongs will be righted if we'red united! A warm…
This week in anguish: - Was barrel-aged an extra week for no particular reason, but, since we track back our futility in this and all episodes to 1970, our analysis remains as perenially trenchant as it is petulant. - Tristan heads to the fabric marker aisle and tries to remember what a duck looks like. - Marvel at tales of past woes in Where Were You When? and glory days gone by in Why Are We…
This week in anguish: - Is not merely emotionally but also technically anguished, with our li'l audio recorder pitching a few micro wildcat strikes throughout the episode. The coherence of one lacuna was rescued by the producer's surely imperceptible technical wizardry, whereas in other spots we lean upon the listener's own artificial general intelligence to fill in the um s and ah s that have…
This week in anguish: - The bruised and contused Canucks inspire us to revist Aaron Rome's ever-so-slightly-delayed hit in the harsh light of 5,249 days later. - We map out the Bohemian past and DEL future of Lukas, by far the most Canuck of the many magnificent Reichels. - How Did We Not Know what a can of fascinating worms would be opened via our discussion of the emptying of nets. You don't…
- Welcome to the first episode of This Week in Gulls (hereafter: TWIG), the PWHL Vancouver podcast that, oddly, shares a team-building philosophy with Tony Montana. First you get the name, then you get the logo, then you get the women. - Behold! But like, y'know, if a real person did it. The weird beak-frown can probably stay, though. - If you identify with or have affinity for one or more the…
