January 28 – Can Vancouver break it and stay relevant in the playoff hunt? Or should we start discussing what kind of kitchen linoleum feels the best on your face as you pass out, blind stinking drunk, in a fit of rage at another loss? Your guess is as good as mine…but let’s liveblog it anyway.

Sheesh, I was kidding when speculating about what next week will bring. But the sitcom of the Vancouver Canuck management (nearing their 40th celebratory year!) continues with Mike Gillis’ rapid ascension to the throne of Vancouver Canucks GM or, if you will, “The 0-38 Chair”.
