Lucky Seven
On more than one occasion in these recaps, I said that I want to see the Colorado Avalanche go on a hot streak at some point. The Avs had made up a lot of ground after our shaky start, but we still needed something to remind fans and experts how dangerous this team is.

Reviewing the First-Ever Edition of "Raw Is Netflix"
A heavily anticipated moment in World Wrestling Entertainment's history has finally come and passed. After I watched the end of the NFL's regular season, I was all ready for the first Monday Night Raw to hit Netflix on the following day! Netflix had been doing some experimenting with live events lately; airing the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight live, and also airing a pair of NFL games on Christmas Day--all to prepare for this moment.

So It Shouldn't Be a Total Loss
Colorado Avalanche fans (myself especially) were still celebrating that huge comeback win over the Buffalo Sabres, which was our sixth straight win. Next up for the Avs: a Saturday battle with the Montréal Canadiens, our former longtime perennial foes from our days as the Quebec Nordiques. The first thought as I watched this: the last time we had a big winning streak entering a game against Montréal, it came to an end against Les Habitants.

NFL Week 18 Recap: The Final Pieces
Well, football fans, this was it. The final day of the 2024 NFL season, with the last 14 remaining games in the overall schedule. Week 18 kicked off with the two AFC North games on Saturday, which saw the Baltimore Ravens win easily over the Cleveland Browns to win the division, while the Cincinnati Bengals won on the road over the Pittsburgh Steelers to earn the right to at least do some scoreboard watching to see if they get in. For my recap of what I called, "AFC North Saturday," click here.

NFL Week 18 AFC North Saturday Recap: Still Standing
I love the final week of the season; always have. The wildest and craziest crap always happens on the final week of the NFL season, and I'm speaking from experience; I've seen a lot of it go down in that last week. This is the 15th year of the all-division games final week schedule, and regarding this format, the 18-week format, this year is Year Four. Since 2021, the 18th and final week of the regular season features three national TV spots: two games on Saturday, and of course, the Sunday Night Football contest that ends the regular season. The three slots always go to the most vital games in the playoff picture, with the biggest one saved for Sunday night.

Right Where We Wanted Them
So this was definitely a game to remember! The Colorado Avalanche had a great New Year's Eve, winning big over the NHL-leading Winnipeg Jets. It's a New Year now, but the Avalanche still have that same groove, as we entered our game against the Buffalo Sabres. This was the second and last meeting of the season, and we all remember how the first game ended. The Avs trailed 4-0, but went on to win 5-4 in regulation in Buffalo, which was part of the Sabres' 13-game losing streak.

New Year's Revolution (Week 18)
We made it, folks! A New Year is here, and in a few days, we say goodbye to the 2024 NFL season. I'm not gonna lie; I was afraid that there would be nothing to talk about in this final week. It looked like we were on our way to the most boring final week since 2017. Remember that season? Week 18 took place on New Year's Eve, and there were so few relevant storylines that the week did not even have a season ending Sunday Night game. Thankfully, certain circumstances gave us something for the final week of the this season.

My Suggested New Year's Resolutions for All 32 NHL Teams
Happy New Year, everyone, and especially to my fellow puckheads out there! This has been a hell of a season so far. We've seen some amazing moments from the 32 teams, we've seen some history, some milestones, but sadly, we had some tragedy entering the season. Now, we are in a new calendar year, and January is an important month, as it's normally the last full month before All-Star Break, though this year, the NHL is doing the Four Nations event.

Ending the Year on a Roll
It's fitting that the Colorado Avalanche's last game of the 2024 calendar year was against the Winnipeg Jets. The Avs entered that year having problems with Winnipeg, yet the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs saw us totally dismantle them. However, Connor Hellebuyck got his pound of flesh in the first meeting of the season, a 1-0 shutout win in Winnipeg. On New Year's Eve, it was Round Two, and it was in Denver this time. We had the added bonus of Jonathan Drouin returning to the lineup as well.

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2024 (Part 2: The Top 5)
Unlike last year, where I pretty much had my top five pegged for months, this year was just a tad difficult. I really had to do some decision making and give it some deep thought, but I am satisfied with the second half of this year-end top 10 list. These five villainesses really showed out the most in 2024, and for a look at Part 1 of this list, click here.

Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2024 (Part 1: #10 - #6)
2024 is coming to a close, and this year was quite interesting in the world of Lifetime film villainesses. Hard to believe that this is my fourth year doing this; I first got to work on this list back in 2021, when I was just getting my feet wet on Vocal. Lifetime villainesses are absolutely delicious; a fact I've known for many years, and they just keep getting more and more amazing as time goes by and the Lifetime movies continue to evolve and develop. It was a hell of a job picking ten villainesses who really stood out this year, but after careful thought, here is the first half of this list for 2024:

NFL Week 17 Recap: Adapt or Perish
As a result of the first six games of Week 17 airing on some form of national TV, 10 games were played on Sunday and Monday. Nine of them were on Sunday, and only eight aired in regional coverage--and one of those eight was nationally televised. This resulted in a very light load on the final Sunday of 2024, but even a light load helped provide a lot in this year's playoff picture.
