Avalanche Game 75 Recap: Goalie'd
The month of April is here. The beginning of the end is upon us. I love the month of March because it's the last full month of the NHL season, but I really love April, because it's the beginning of the end. The final countdown. The regular season ends on April 18. The Stanley Cup Playoffs start on April 20. Seven teams are in the big dance. One of them is the Colorado Avalanche, whose ticket was punched on the penultimate day of March. For the Avs, this is the first game of a three-game road swing, and the first of the team's final eight games remaning. Our opponents: the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Top 3 Blown Opportunities for Potential Lifetime Villainesses
Today is April Fools' Day. Yes, there's a day named after fans of the Edmonton Oilers. In all seriousness (ironically), the trademark of April Fools' Day is, of course, the fooling. Jokes, pranks, lighthearted jabs, you name it. One thing I've noticed is that Lifetime has adopted a habit of swerving us in their films. Just when we think we have the baddie pegged and identified, they pull the rug over us. Sometimes, it's a pretty good surprise. Other times, not so much.

Canucks Lock Up Playoff Spot With Help From Division Foes
On Monday, March 25, the Vancouver Canucks had the NHL's first clinching scenario of the season, but they came up short in becoming the first team to clinch. They had another chance three days later, but they were defeated by the Dallas Stars. On the penultimate day of March, the Canucks were idle, but could still get in. They needed losses from the St. Louis Blues and the Minnesota Wild to get in. Minnesota's loss didn't have to be in regulation. St. Louis' loss, however, had to be in regulation.

How Sweep It Is!: Reviewing the New York Yankees' Big Series Win
A tide is turning, folks! I looked forward to the 2024 Major League Baseball season, because there's always something special about Opening Day, well, the Opening Week overall. One reason, of course, involved the New York Yankees. I entered this season optimistic about the Yankees' 2024 season, because, well, we have nowhere else to go but up. The Yankees are coming off a 2023 campaign that saw us miss the postseason for the first time since 2016, as well as the first time overall with Aaron Boone as skipper. Also, the Yankees had a new superstar to show off: in the form of Juan Soto.

Avalanche Game 74 Recap: Ticket Punched
Phase One: complete. The Colorado Avalanche's first attempt to lock in a playoff spot came up short, but the main story of that game was the controversial end of Nathan MacKinnon's home point streak, which remained official after a long review. So MacKinnon had a proverbial axe to grind, and who better to grind it against than the Nashville Predators in the last leg of Colorado's homestand.

Stars Look to Avenge West Final Loss
Three East teams had chances to clinch playoff spots, and they all did. Three West teams had that same chance: the Dallas Stars, the Vancouver Canucks, and the Colorado Avalanche. All three scenarios involved the St. Louis Blues losing in some fashion, but the Blues won, 5-3, over the Calgary Flames. With that, the Avalanche's scenario was kiboshed, but the Stars and Canucks could still get in with a win. Here's the thing: the two teams faced each other, and it was 1-1 late in the third period.

Panthers Clinch Playoffs With Hopes to Return to Cup Final
The wild 14-game Thursday evening included so many clinching scenarios, with one of them including the Florida Panthers. The Panthers looked to return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a victory, but the New York Islanders had other plans. The Isles looked to move up in the Wild Card ladder, and they did so with a win over the Panthers, a 3-2 win at that. However, the Panthers did have other ways in, and one of them was a Detroit Red Wings loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. As a result of this, not only did the Canes get in, the Panthers did as well.

Avalanche Game 73 Recap: What Just Happened?!
As a Colorado Avalanche fan, I was entering Game 73 feeling quite confident. Yes, we were facing off against the high-powered New York Rangers. However, the Dallas Stars were facing the Vancouver Canucks...on the road. So I had a good feeling that first place could happen for the Avs again. The first part had to be taken care of: taking down the Rangers. The Avs were coming off the end of a nine-game winning streak, but at least Nathan MacKinnon's points streaks were still a thing.

Last Chance for Hurricanes?
A loaded day in the NHL saw six teams with a chance to clinch a playoff spot, and the Carolina Hurricanes were one of the teams with that opportunity. This was their second chance to do so, but their first attempt saw the Hurricanes defeated by the Pittsburgh Penguins in what was a homecoming for Carolina's biggest deadline acquisition of the season, Jake Guentzel. Take Two came against the Detroit Red Wings, and all they needed was just two simple points. They would get them behind a Frederik Andersen shutout; a 4-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.

Bruins Clinch (Now, Don't Blow It)
Well, Boston Bruins, you made it. Somehow, you made it. Now what the hell are you going to do with it? The Bruins actually had a chance to clinch a spot on the previous night, needing only one more point in the standings to do so, but they couldn't get it done. Even so, despite the Bruins not being in action on this night, they could still get a spot, needing either a Detroit Red Wings loss or a Philadelphia regulation loss to get it done. Both outcomes came true, but the Philly loss happened first. The Flyers were defeated, 4-1, by the Montréal Canadiens. Yes, that's right. The Montréal Canadiens actually helped the Boston Bruins make the playoffs. What a world.

Villainess Review: Miss Mitchell (Killing for Extra Credit)
Per usual, when March Madness hits the National Hockey League, Lifetime comes through with some amazing and surprising villainesses in their films. This film, Killing for Extra Credit, was no exception. The central character was Marybeth Morris, and as we see in the introduction, she's gone through a bit of a ringer. Her return to school comes for the first time since she was relentlessly bullied on social media after racy photos of Marybeth were leaked to the public. As the backstory also revealed, the leak came just as Marybeth was running for class president, but she had to drop out due to the embarrassment.

Avalanche Game 72 Recap: If It Wasn't for Bad Luck...
As the saying goes, "All good things must come to an end." But this was not the time. The Colorado Avalanche continued to ride high as winners of nine straight, the latest win being against a Pittsburgh Penguins team who led 4-0! With the Vancouver Canucks' home loss on the previous night, the Avs had the chance to move into the #1 spot in the entire Western Conference. The homestand continued, and it was against the Montréal Canadiens. Notice I didn't say the "lowly" Canadiens. I don't consider the Canadiens lowly. Are they going to be in the playoffs? No. But the potential's there. Even so, it did look like the Avs should win.
