The Canucks are on a downswing, losing four straight, with their latest loss to the New York Rangers arguably their worst game of the season. This means it’s time to start throwing blame around.

We assign blame to Ryan Miller, Jim Benning, Willie Desjardins, Luca Sbisa, Kevin Bieksa, the defence as a whole, the forwards, and even us. Yes, it’s our fault. We are all Canucks, so we are all equally to blame.

Really, things aren’t quite as bad as they look and, just as we advised caution in getting to excited when the Canucks were at their peak, we advise patience now that they’re in a valley.

Before all that, we talk about D’Angelo’s new album, “Black Messiah”, and the new trend of releasing albums without any hype or buildup.
