Lehk Amok
The Colorado Avalanche's last game before the holiday break was a big home victory against the Seattle Kraken, which was centered by Joel Kiviranta's Hat Trick. The Avs returned to action with two games left in the calendar year, and the first of those two games was a meeting with the Utah Hockey Club. This was the third meeting of the season, with the two teams splitting the first two, though the road team is undefeated in this season set.

Before the Ball Drops (NFC Week 17)
The National Football Conference continues to be full of wild and crazy storylines heading into the final countdown to the end of the season. It's been quite a mess for the last three seasons, and I am here for all of it. While the AFC has nearly everything sewn up, the NFC has quite a few things wide open. None of the four divisions are locked up. Yet everything can be settled during Week 17.

NFL Week 17 Christmas Recap: Are You Ready for Some Tudum?!
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: sports telecasts have come a long way. I've seen my share of games on stream sites like ESPN+ and Peacock, but I never thought we would ever see any live sports on Netflix, let alone the NFL. Yet this Christmas, we were treated to a double dose of NFL action, and both games were vital to the AFC playoff picture.

Naughty or Nice? (AFC Week 17)
Last week, the American Football Conference could have seen literally all of their storylines settled. All seven spots clinched, all four divisions clinched, even the #1 seed could have been wrapped up. Thankfully, that did not happen. If it had, we would have seen a lot of games in the final two weeks mean very little to nothing. Instead, we still have just a few things that need to be handled in Week 17, the penultimate week of the season, which starts on Christmas Day and is followed by the final countdown to the New Year. At least one NFL game played for five of the next six days! Let's go!

NFL Week 16 Recap: Win and In
As a Green Bay Packers fan, I'm not used to anything coming this easy. So excuse me if I'm a bit extra cheeky, or cheesy. It's always beautiful to control your own destiny. It's even more beautiful when it happens in such a fashion that it makes a cakewalk look like climbing Mount Everest. All we had to do was show up. That's it. I knew we'd easily beat the New Orleans Saints, but my goodness, I didn't expect this mess. This game was the 240th of the 2024 regular season. It was the first to end in a shutout. 34-0 was the final score. No worrying about what the defense would do, no worrying about plays that could have been better, no fear that this was a trap game and we could be playing down to our competition. Hell, I think if we had played down to our competition, the worst we could have done was probably win 17-0.

Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 15)
To play off the words of the iconic Ringo Starr, "Please forgive the lateness of this story." With Christmas shopping, other stories, and even focusing on the Semifinals in Fantasy Football, I've been lagging when it comes to mentioning the top fantasy scorers for Week 15, which is a big week for Fantasy--it's either the end of the regular season, or the Quarterfinals depending on the league. In any event, here are Week 15's top scorers:

It's the Wedgewood That Makes it Good
The Colorado Avalanche were coming off an amazing win in San Jose against the Sharks; an interesting battle between the two goalies who were traded for each other: Mackenzie Blackwood and Alexandar Georgiev. So the Avs were 1-1 in the three-game road trip, and we concluded our trip to the Pacific Time Zone with a stop in the epicenter of Orange County, California: Anaheim. This meeting was the second of the season between the Avalanche and the Anaheim Ducks, with the first one taking place on October 18, with the Avs defeating the Ducks in OT for our first win of the season after a shocking 0-4 start.

The AFC Playoff Picture is Shaping Up
I do love Saturday football; I have since I was a kid. We don't get NFL games on Saturday until nearly the end of the season, and that's because it's by that time that college football is out of the way. I remember at one point, we would see four straight weeks of Saturday football, counting playoffs, but this year, we are being treated to five straight Saturdays of NFL action--the final three weeks of the regular season, Super Wild Card Weekend, and the Divisional Playoff.

Trading Places
Amazing. When the Colorado Avalanche and the San Jose Sharks last faced each other, Alexandar Georgiev was with the former, and Mackenzie Blackwood was with the latter. Over a month later, the two goalies were swapped for each other, as Colorado was looking to solve our goaltender problems. Interestingly, these two goalies were not in net during the first meeting between the clubs this season. In this matchup, they were.

Northern Exposure
The Colorado Avalanche were coming off a very impressive win at home over the Nashville Predators, in what was Mackenzie Blackwood's Avs debut, but once again, we were back on the road. At least, this time, it's a three game trip, and it is in the West. Can't get any more West in this continental land mass than the Pacific Time Zone, and that's where the Avs would be for the next three games. The first of those three was a trip to the Canadian side of the Pacific Northwest, the city that hosted the 111th Grey Cup and this year's Survivor Series: Vancouver, British Columbia.
