"Beyond the Gates" Week 5 & 6 Review
So with the insane way the NHL season has been going, I've been lazy with the reviews for Beyond the Gates. I'm not behind on the show, though, and it's still crazy good and wild as hell. I said this before: Beyond the Gates is the show that the soap opera genre needed... badly. So with that, this review will cover the last two weeks of the show. Week 5 and Week 6 all wrapped up in a neat little package.

Stanley Cup Playoff Push 2025: Doomsday
Eleven days. That's how much time remains in the NHL's regular season. Eleven short days. A lot happened in the past week, as the calendar turned to the month of April. While March is that final full month of the season, April is the end--the very last chance for a lot of teams. The final numbers get thinned out in April, as the Stanley Cup Playoffs draw closer and closer to occurring. As I said: Eleven days remain. That's two Wednesday doubleheaders on TNT. That's two more loaded Tuesdays and Thursdays. That's one more big Saturday, and also, one more Sunday featuring matinee doubleheaders on TNT.

Kings Look to Finally Topple Oilers, and Go From There
On an evening that saw both franchises from the Sunshine State join the playoff party, one team from the Golden State looked to become part of the NHL's Sweet 16 as well. On the penultimate Saturday of the regular season, the Los Angeles Kings entered that day standing at three points away from their fourth straight playoff appearance. That combination could come in the form of a win and a Calgary Flames loss, or only one point and Calgary losing in regulation. The Kings were in what many see as a playoff preview--a home game against the Edmonton Oilers. A 3-0 blanking of the Oilers reduced that magic number from three points to just one.

Prodigy (Part 2)
Christine Kendall drove with a lot on her mind; some of it was memories from her past as a wrestler known as The Golden Goddess, but her central thought was connected to her past: The Crimson Queen, her greatest rival. The Golden Goddess and The Crimson Queen had a feud for the ages in the ring for many years, and both of them have enjoyed retirement in the last decade-plus. Or so Christine thought.

Defending Champs Looking Mighty Sus Right Now
A Saturday that featured 13 games on the docket also saw three teams with a chance to get into the playoffs. One said team, the Tampa Bay Lightning, punched their ticket when the Rangers were shutout by the Devils. That game also helped one scenario belonging to Tampa's in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers. Even so, the Panthers had the "win and in" scenario, but the Rangers' loss allowed the Panthers the privilege of getting in by simply reaching overtime. However, the Panthers were blanked by the Ottawa Senators. They still had one way in, but they would need help. That help came in the form of the Toronto Maple Leafs blanking the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Have the Rumors of Tampa Bay's Demise Been Greatly Exaggerated?
The penultimate Saturday of the NHL regular season began with three teams with a chance to join the NHL's Sweet 16. In the West, the Jets, Golden Knights, Stars, and Avalanche are in. In the East, the Capitals, Hurricanes, and Maple Leafs are in. Three others could increase that total from seven to ten, and one of those three was the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Bolts needed just one point, but they had two ways to get in before they took the ice. One of them involved the first game of the 13-game Saturday: the Rangers and Devils facing off.

Prodigy (Part 1)
Renegade Women's Wrestling's latest show was absolutely off the chain. Five matches took place, but the main attraction was a 15 woman battle royal. Fifteen women battling it out in a huge-sized match, and the only objective was elimination, which occurs when a competitor is thrown over the top rope, and both feat have to hit the floor. The battle royal lasted 35 minutes before it was down to two women. One was Lady Beatrice, a popular wrestler who had been with RWW for six years. The other was Joanne Kendall, who only had two years of wrestling under her belt. The two women fought hard, and the battle was taken to the edge of the ring, and seeing how they both went over the top, elimination was definitely being faced.

Eight is a Magic Number for the Avalanche
As the song says, "I had a feeling that tonight was gonna be a good night." The reason why I was elated over the Colorado Avalanche's comeback win in Chicago wasn't just because it meant we could clinch the next day, it was because we made our scenario easier. The Avs entered this day, April 3, 2025, with a win and in scenario. Otherwise, we would have to look to the Anaheim Ducks' game against the Calgary Flames. The Avs were in Ohio facing the Columbus Blue Jackets, who were also playing for their playoff hopes, but they were decreasing. Not as bad as other teams, but Columbus was running out of time.

A Look Back: The Triple H/Batista Rivalry (Part I: WrestleMania 21)
Hard to believe that today is the 20th anniversary of WrestleMania 21. The very first WrestleMania that I watched. The event that gave us the first ever Money in the Bank Ladder Match, so yes, MITB also turns 20. The event that placed a 25-year-old Legend Killer against the Phenom, and it turned into a wild battle that spanned the rest of the calendar year. The event that pitted the Showstopper against a legend who won a Gold Medal with a broken freakin' neck. The event where the man who defined the words, "Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect," reached the top for the very first time.

On the Horizon
We are now in the month of April. Well... the Colorado Avalanche are. The second day of April marked the beginning of the last scraps of the regular season for the Avs. The month of March was very good to us, but on a down note, we ended March losing two straight. Granted one of them was post-regulation, but still, it's two straight losses. The Avs had seven games left, and five of them were on the road. The first of those games was a visit to Chicago, our last in the regular season.

Ninth Time the Charm for Leafs?
Just a few moments after the Carolina Hurricanes locked in a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Toronto Maple Leafs did just that as well. Similar to the Canes, the Leafs had a simple scenario: just get one point. The Leafs were in a vital game against the Florida Panthers; vital because of where both teams are in the Atlantic Division. The Panthers scored first, but John Tavares tied it up, and Mitch Marner gave Toronto the lead in the 3rd. Seriously, they better pay Marner. Matthew Knies made it 3-1, and it looked good until Florida cut Toronto's lead in half. Even so, one point would put them in, but the Leafs wanted two on the spot, and while it wasn't easy, the Leafs got the job done in regulation.

Hurricanes Return to Playoffs with a Vengeance
The second day of April 2025 saw two teams with a chance to join this year's Stanley Cup Playoff party. Four teams already locked in spots, with the most recent team being the Vegas Golden Knights. The Carolina Hurricanes were one of the two teams; they had been making some amazing moves during the year, but they still remained a strong force this season. The Canes had a number of chances earlier in the year, but were unable to punch a ticket in.
