Avalanche Game 48 Recap: The Natural
It's been 11 seasons, and I still can't believe we have such a superstar in Nathan MacKinnon. I remember the tail end of that shortened 2012-2013 season, and Avs fans were talking about the draft. Who would we get? Seth Jones was talked about a lot, but then this Nathan MacKinnon kid became the hot topic. So that was the name we decided to go with. We drafted MacKinnon, and he had quite the rookie year. Got his first taste of the playoffs, had 10 points. Eight of them were assists, three of them were in Game One. Back then, I thought, "We have ourselves a good one here."

Dear Diary
Dear Diary. Those are the words on my cover. I am in the hands of a young woman named Shannon Kemp, though I am not hers. I didn't end up in Shannon's hands accidentally. I was taken. Well, I don't want to say taken; it makes it sound like I was kidnapped. Kidnapping has sinister undertones. There was nothing sinister about Shannon's acquisition.

Villainess Review: Anita (Once Upon a Time)
How I loved Once Upon a Time! This was a Sunday habit for me; though it wasn't easy. After all, the show conflicted with The Simpsons on Fox, so I often had to watch episodes on demand. Even so, I was all in. A series that took the world of fairy tales to immense levels, and it was absolutely amazing. The show lasted seven seasons on ABC, with the core cast including Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, and of course, Lana Parrilla as Regina Mills (aka the Evil Queen).

Divisional Playoff Recap: No More Excuses
Well, Buffalo Bills and fans, you're out of the playoffs, you're out of luck, and most of all, you're out of excuses. This was the Bills' best chance to finally exorcise the demon known as the Kansas City Chiefs. We know the history. They faced each other twice in the playoffs before. The first time was the 2020 AFC Championship, which KC won. At that time, the Bills were getting their feet wet as a perennial AFC superpower. The following year was a different story. 2021 AFC Divisional Playoff; high scoring battle, Gabe Davis scored four touchdowns in that single game--or as I love to call it, an Al Bundy. Here's the thing: Al Bundy's team didn't allow the opponent to tie the game in the final 13 seconds of regulation. Of course, overtime saw KC win the toss and go all the way, prompting a lot of crying from Bills fans about the OT rules, leading to the NFL changing them again. Last year, the Bills didn't even get to KC, because they lost at home in the same round, this time against the Bengals. Ouch.

A Winter Burial
Marlowe Bender always received the task of shoveling snow near their home, and it was usually done with a smile on her face, though the last part was always according to her husband, James Bender. In actuality, this was James' task, but Marlowe couldn't remember the last time James actually did the task--or any actual work.

Avalanche Game 47 Recap: Top Nate Dogg
Saturday saw the Colorado Avalanche's five game road trip come to an end. What a trip, though. Game 1 was the comeback win in Toronto. Game 2 was the heartbreaking loss in Montreal. Game 3 featured another comeback in in Ottawa, and Game 4 was a tough loss in Boston. The fifth and final game of this road trip sees the Avs in Philadelphia against a Flyers team who appears to be playoff bound.

The Sad Golden Rule in the NFL: Only White Coaches are Allowed to Have Mulligans
I've said this for a good bit, and it's about time I call it out. Now, let me make one thing clear. Yes, I (and everyone else) heard the news that the Dallas Cowboys will keep Mike McCarthy for another year. However, he is not part of this problem. For better or worse, McCarthy does have a strong and accomplished record, and he has won a Super Bowl. Yes, most of that was thanks to Aaron Rodgers, but the record's there, mistakes or not.

Avalanche Game 46 Recap: Carb Overload
It's Game Four of the Colorado Avalanche's five game road trip, and after playing three games in Eastern Canada, the boys are back stateside. This time, the Avs are in Boston facing off against the Bruins, with the game taking place on the anniversary of Willie O'Ree breaking the NHL's color barrier. This finishes off the season series, as the first meeting was a 4-3 shootout win for the Avalanche.

Riches to Rags
Ugh! I'm still so groggy. How is it that I have a hangover? I don't have a head to ache. I'm not even human. I'm just an old rag. Though, I didn't start out that way. I'm actually part of a t-shirt. Well...I was. My memories are starting to come back now. Familiar sounds coming back to me. Loud swearing and...hockey! Not just any hockey, it's the Bruins!

Avalanche Game 45 Recap: Still Finding a Way
Fresh off a devastating loss in Montréal, the Colorado Avalanche were off to Canada's capital, Ottawa, for the second and last meeting with the Ottawa Senators. The first meeting was a memorable one, as it saw Nathan MacKinnon score four goals in that outing. Regarding Part 2, the Avs were still looking to keep pace with the red hot Winnipeg Jets in the Central Division standings, as the loss in Montréal kept the Avs from moving past the Jets.

Avalanche Game 44 Recap: C'est du Hockey
The second leg of the Colorado Avalanche's five-game Eastern road swing sees the team head to Montréal to face off against Les Habitants, the Canadiens. It's amazing. This used to be a provincial rivalry, as the old Quebec Nordiques battled hard against the Canadiens for sixteen seasons before the Nords moved to Denver. Even so, the teams still have a crazy connection, mainly because the Avs have taken some notable names from the Habs, and won Cups with them.
