This week in anguish:

• Two dispiriting losses to San Jose and Anaheim reacquaint us with two very familiar flavours of Canucks misery.

• Jim Benning gave an interview, and Tristan came away from it relatively unscathed, with only five bang-your-head-against-a-wall moments.

• Ardella attempts to fill her half-empty emotional glass by researching the team's injury woes, Luke Schenn, Ryan Spooner, and some surprisingly upbeat Jacob Markstrom stats. 

• How did Ardella not know that Christopher Tanev has never managed to play a full season? Well, she didn't, but she learned some interesting things about the most injured Canucks d-men along the way.
