Islanders Return to Playoffs, but Need to Solve Overtime Woes
This has been quite the interesting season for the New York Islanders. They struggled badly for the most part--to the point where they actually fired Lane Lambert as their head coach just weeks before All-Star Break. The Isles later shocked us with one hell of a coaching hire: Patrick Roy. Yes, you read that right. The GOAT of goaltenders decided to give this NHL head coaching thing another go-around and replaced Lambert as the Isles' head coach. This reunites him with goaltender Semyon Varlamov, as Roy coached Varly for three seasons with the Colorado Avalanche.

Avalanche Game 81 Recap: All or Nothing
Game #80 is in the past. On to Game #81. With a first round matchup with the Winnipeg Jets now official, the Colorado Avalanche now had to go for home ice in that series. Entering this game, the Avs needed to win out and the Jets needed to lose one point in the standings. For Game #81, it was our last road game of the regular season, and it was a trip to Sin City against the defending Cup Champions, the Vegas Golden Knights. And regarding goaltending, Alexandar Georgiev was in the net against Adin Hill. So far, it was already much better than Game #80. The Avs were actually shooting the puck, which seemed to be a novel concept in recent games.

Avalanche Game 80 Recap: Hell(e)'s Bells
Oh boy. So let's get this over with. This won't be the typical Colorado Avalanche recap, because I'll start off by telling the result right off the bat. We lost 7-0 at home to the Winnipeg Jets in a game we needed. Entering this game, both teams had an outside shot at the Central Division, but in case this game ended up being a preview of the opening round, we needed to win this to get a crack at home-ice in that series.

Golden Knights Look to Repeat, but Face a Bumpy Road
Well...they're in. The Vegas Golden Knights are in the playoffs, but it wasn't an easy road. Despite an 11-0-1 start to the season, the Knights fell off the rest of the way, and it looked like that the defending champs wouldn't be back in the playoffs. However, Vegas did manage to get back in the thick of things and move back above the playoff line, and they would enter this day with a chance to stay up there for good. They got some help from the Carolina Hurricanes, who won 5-2 over the St. Louis Blues, meaning that Vegas could get in with a win of any kind. Boy, did they get it: a 7-2 win over the decaying Minnesota Wild.

The Last Minute
"60...59...58..." As Wesley Forsberg was crawling on the floor gasping for air, he heard a countdown hovering over him. He knew that he had about a minute left in this world, and he wasn't the only one who knew it. The person hovering over Wesley counting down the seconds also knew it, and it was someone very familiar to him: his wife, Josephine Roman.

Will the Kings' 3rd Straight Playoff Appearance Serve as the Charm?
Entering this very day, only one team was playing for the chance to join the greatest Sweet 16 in sports: the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That team was the Los Angeles Kings, who were having a devil of a time trying to get in the playoffs. They had a chance to clinch on Sunday. No go. They had an easy chance to get in on Tuesday. All they had to do was defeat the Anaheim Ducks. Again, no go. Take three came on this evening, as the Kings were at home against the Calgary Flames. The third time was the charm. A 1-0 lead after 20 became a 3-0 lead after 40, and that pretty much did it. The Kings went on to win, 4-1, and it was party time in the City of Angels.

Villainess Review: Tracy & Anne Lasker (Poltergeist: The Legacy)
Who remembers Poltergeist: The Legacy? I remember watching a handful of episodes of this series, which has very little connection to the film series. It's basically your typical underrated horror anthology series, which lasted for four seasons and aired on Showtime for three of them until being moved to the SciFi Channel for the final year. I remember quite a few things from this series. For one, The Undertaker (yes, you read that right) appeared in an episode of the show. Secondly, I also recall some interesting episodes involving cursed objects, a two-parter involving vampires, and an episode featuring a succubus. Which brings me to a third thing I remember so well: the episode titled, "Rough Beast."

Avalanche Game 79 Recap: Mack for Hart
I've said it 1000 times this season, and here's #1001: Put Mack's name on that trophy! The Colorado Avalanche entered Game #79 needing a lot to happen to even have a chance to win the Central Division. That loss to the Dallas Stars couldn't have come at a worse time. Now the Avs need a miracle. That starts with this game--the last of the season against the Minnesota Wild. The Avs had the alternates on to for the second straight night, and Alexandar Georgiev was in net against Filip Gustavsson.

Red Hot Predators Join the Playoff Party
The Stanley Cup Playoffs are upon us, and the pieces of the playoff puzzle are filling up. Entering this insane day of NHL action, five playoff spots remained overall, with three of the open spots being in the Western Conference. Two of the spots could have been filled on this night, as the Nashville Predators and the Los Angeles Kings could have locked in spots. All the Preds needed was one point, that's all. Just get to overtime. It didn't look like it would happen, as the Preds were down 3-1 against the Winnipeg Jets. Nashville did manage to tie it up, and the third period managed to end with the score tied at three. The Preds did lose in OT, but the one point they got ended up placing them in the playoffs.

Avalanche Game 78 Recap: Never Give Up
By the time the main event of the second and final night of WrestleMania rolled around, another main event started in the NHL: the Colorado Avalanche's big meeting with the Dallas Stars. This game, in the eyes of every Avs fan, would determine our chances of winning the Central Division. Alexandar Georgiev was in net against Jake Oettinger, which put me at ease. Sean Walker scored 61 seconds into the game, which definitely put all of us at ease.

Previewing "Descendants: The Rise of Red"
The countdown is on, and it's coming sooner than advertised! I was over the moon with the news of a fourth installment to the Descendants film series, and the moment is close to arriving! I absolutely love this film series; hard to believe that this whole phenomenon started nine years ago! It was during the summer of 2015 that the first film hit Disney Channel, with the central characters being a quartet of villainous offspring (or "VKs"--short for "villain kids"). They were as follows: Mal (the daughter of Maleficent), Carlos (the son of Cruella de Vil), Evie (the Evil Queen's daughter), and Jay (the son of Jafar). The first film's plot centered on the quartet being sent by Maleficent to infiltrate Auradon's school to steal the Fairy Godmother's wand, though the film's progression saw the group slowly fit in to the point where they decided to abandon the plan.
