This week in anguish:

- Ardella reminds us that Micheal Ferland is a person and not just a line item on CapFriendly, and we learn a bit more about why concussions do what they do.

- Travis Green climbs the TWiA power rankings as he waxes poetical about his love for BC, his core four, and being nervous.

- It's been a few weeks since the initial discussions around Dave Gunnarson's ill-conceived Thunderbird mask. Since then, we've learned more about the artistic lineage of the Thunderbird House Post totem, and about the story of just why those totem poles are at Brockton Point in the first place.

- Quinn Hughes has the highest PPG of any defenseman ever drafted 7th overall. We find 9 other Canucks and 3 nearly-Nucks as we work our way down the all-time PPG list for 7th overall picks. 

- Ardella festoons the pod with festive stats of historical Canucks team records over the holidays. How Did We Not Know about the winningest Canucks holiday squad of all time?
