Avalanche Game 53 Recap: Enough is Enough
As the man who is about to main event WrestleMania 40 would say, "We have a lot to talk about." This...this isn't good. So the Colorado Avalanche entered this game having lost three straight, and while the OT loss to the New York Rangers wasn't too bad, the losses to the New Jersey Devils and the Carolina Hurricanes were terrible. For the fourth game of this six game road swing, it's a trip to Sunrise to face the Florida Panthers. The last time we faced Florida, it was embarrassing. An 8-2 drubbing on our ice. The Avs needed to win out to salvage a winning road trip, and I figured that this would be the game where things get back on track.

Avalanche Game 52 Recap: A Horror-Comedy of Errors
The road trip for the Colorado Avalanche continues, and it sees the team in Raleigh, North Carolina against the Carolina Hurricanes. This is the second and last meeting between the two former WHA transplants, as well as former rivals in the old Adams Division. As many hockey historians and fans recall, the Quebec Nordiques and the Hartford Whalers co-existed in the Adams Division for several years, but were hard luck until the teams relocated to Denver and Raleigh, respectively. Since then, the Avalanche won three Stanley Cups, while the Hurricanes finally won one of their own in 2006.

Avalanche Game 51 Recap: Jersey Boys
The second half of the Colorado Avalanche's season started with a six-game Eastern road swing; holy moley! Game One of that road trip saw the Avs in Madison Square Garden, and it was an overtime loss to the New York Rangers. The team had to get right back to work on the following day, but the Avs didn't have to go too far, as this game was in New Jersey against the Devils. The first meeting was a wild one that saw a lot of chaos and penalties, but the Avalanche prevailed.

The Monumental Career of Grant Fuhr
If you're familiar with my writing, then you know a lot of my career pieces on NHL players, both current and former. I've written quite a few stories, but I have yet to do one on a goaltender...until now. Two of my stories have centered on two very important and notable players in NHL history: Willie O'Ree and Jarome Iginla. As we all know, Willie O'Ree broke the NHL's color barrier, and set the stage and the bar for players such as Donald Brashear, P.K. Subban, Dustin Byfuglien, and Quinton Byfield, among others. The aforementioned Jarome Iginla raised that bar with his stellar numbers in his spectacular career, but there's another important name that needs to be mentioned: Grant Fuhr.

Family Guy Turns 25
Amazing, isn't it? Today, Family Guy celebrates 25 years. The date was Sunday, January 31, 1999. Super Bowl Sunday. Fox aired Super Bowl XXXIII, the network's second-ever Super Bowl broadcast, and that year, it was the Denver Broncos defeating the Atlanta Falcons to repeat as champions of the National Football League, while also bringing a storybook ending to the iconic career of John Elway. After one career ended on a high note, another show--another era--began.

Reviewing a Pair of Villainesses from "A Job to Kill For"
One vintage Lifetime film I remember well is A Job to Kill For, which I have seen quite a few times; as recently as a few days ago for the purpose of writing this review. On that day, it was the first time I had seen it in a number of years, and I have Tubi to thank for this, because they are a hotbed of classic Lifetime films, and some Lifetime-esque original films.

Opportunity Attacks
The cabin that Joyce and Dylan Rand were spending their vacation residing in was in a snow-covered atmosphere, but it was bliss to both of them. As Dylan returned to their vacation home, he again gushed over the setting and thanked his wife for choosing such an amazing place to celebrate their 30 years together.

Conference Championship Recap: Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda
There's always something about Conference Championship Sunday. The main thing is that it's the final round before the overall finale, and one thing is true: the semifinals in any league are always very captivating, whether it's the NFL's Conference Championships, the Conference Finals in the NBA and NHL, or the League Championship Series in MLB. Regarding this year, the four teams remaining in this year's playoffs are looking to win their way to Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII.

The History of the Smythe Division
Each of the four classic divisions had a special attribute. The Adams Division had an even mix of Original Six and WHA flavor, plus there was the fact that none of the teams involved liked the Bruins. The Patrick Division struck a huge blow for pro sports in the Mid-Atlantic region. The Norris Division was quite the classic division, mainly because three of the teams were in the Original Six. All three divisions had their special features and their stories to tell.

Reviewing the Seventh Annual Women's Royal Rumble
I absolutely, positively love the Royal Rumble! It's my all time favorite event in WWE. The easy answer to give when asked about one's favorite WWE event is definitely WrestleMania, but for me, it's the Rumble. The reason is because of the Rumble match. It matches the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs when it comes to chaos; so much happens in that match that impresses and shocks fans. I still remember really wanting the women to have that same chaos of their own, and in 2018, it finally happened.

A Deep Look into "Desperate Housewives"
A few hours before starting this story, I watched the final episode of Desperate Housewives. It's a show I've been bingewatching for a few months recently. I honestly never thought I'd watch a second of the show, let alone eight seasons' worth in a few months' time, but here I am. To further detail this, I have to go back two decades.

Avalanche Game 49 Recap: Preparing for the Break
The Colorado Avalanche were coming off a very big win against the Washington Capitals, where Nathan MacKinnon, well, did it again. Another four-goal game for the man leading the way in the Hart Trophy race, and five points over all in the Avs' 6-2 win. MacKinnon left that night as the points leader, but entering this night, he was behind Nikita Kucherov by one point. Seriously, this will be one hell of a race.
