Five Ways to Fix the Team 1040

February 25, 2012 Rob 4 Comments Special Feature

Like a lot of Canucks fans, I’m addicted to the Team 1040. I listen to it all the time because I can’t get enough Canucks talk. But in the last year or two, my addiction has subsided. I still listen to it, but I find myself needing a break from it more often and I [...]
