No Quit in Colorado
The Colorado Avalanche's three game Central Division road trip was a rough one. A close loss in Chicago, a blowout win in Minnesota, but shut out in Winnipeg again. With very little room for error in that tight Central Division, every point and win is important. Thankfully, we have a five game homestand coming right up. First on the Ball Arena docket: the New York Rangers.

Reviewing Lifetime's 1st Thriller and 1st Villainess of 2025
For the last few years, I get my info on upcoming Lifetime thrillers from a site called Futon Critic, and I took a look at the films that would hit Lifetime and LMN in January. As I wrote my year end Lifetime villainess list for 2024, I instantly looked forward to what Lifetime would give us in 2025. Sure enough, three days into the New Year, Lifetime Movie Network gave us this wonderful gem, Dressed to Kill, which brought back the normal routine of LMN premiering movies on Fridays.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: Blowouts Galore... AGAIN
I always love the NFL playoffs with a passion, and every time Wild Card Saturday hits, I often think back to when I was a kid and Wild Card Saturday games aired on ABC Sports (back when ABC Sports was an actual thing; now it's ESPN on ABC), with the games actually airing hours earlier than they do now. This is the fifth year to feature a grand total of six Wild Card Playoff games, with two airing on Saturday, three on Sunday, and a final one on Monday, while the top seeds in each conference have byes straight to the Divisional Playoff.

Buyck'ed Again
The latter two-thirds of the Colorado Avalanche's three-game Central Division road trip included very important "four-point games." For those who don't know the concept of a four-point game, I'll explain. Of course, in the NHL standings, two points are awarded for a win, one point is awarded for losing in overtime or a shootout, and of course, regulation losses are worth nothing. If a team wins in regulation, the winning team picks up two points, while the losing team's maximum possible point total decreases by two, making it a four point turnaround. Pretty much every game is a four-point game, but the most important ones are the divisional games. It is really best to gain as much ground on divisional foes.

A Wild Night in the State of Hockey
It always amazes me how long this rivalry has lasted. The Colorado Avalanche and the Minnesota Wild have been going at it for almost a quarter-century now. The Wild are our longest serving division foes, even longer than the Montreal Canadiens back when we were the Quebec Nordiques. The Wild debuted in 2000, and were placed in the old Northwest Division with the Avs. The two teams have been in the current Central Division since 2013, and even in the COVID-shortened 2020-21 season, the two teams were in the localized West Division. Plain and simple, we can't get away from the Wild.

20 Years: A Look Back at New Year's Revolution
Hard to believe that today marks 20 years since we fans of World Wrestling Entertainment were introduced to the short-lived event known as New Year's Revolution. It was the height of the Ruthless Aggression Era, and WWE was already almost three years into the original Brand Extension, which saw Raw and SmackDown with their own announcers, rosters, champions, and yes, even pay-per-views (with the exception of WWE's Big Four) were split up.

Windy City Woes
The Colorado Avalanche completed an absolutely successful homestand that saw us win three of the four games, and pick up seven out of the maximum eight points. The Avs' overall eight-game point streak was on the line in this first game of a three-game road trip, and our first stop: Chicago. The Avs have had a knack for beating the Blackhawks over the years, mainly ever since the two teams became division foes in 2013.

Lucky Seven
On more than one occasion in these recaps, I said that I want to see the Colorado Avalanche go on a hot streak at some point. The Avs had made up a lot of ground after our shaky start, but we still needed something to remind fans and experts how dangerous this team is.

Reviewing the First-Ever Edition of "Raw Is Netflix"
A heavily anticipated moment in World Wrestling Entertainment's history has finally come and passed. After I watched the end of the NFL's regular season, I was all ready for the first Monday Night Raw to hit Netflix on the following day! Netflix had been doing some experimenting with live events lately; airing the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight live, and also airing a pair of NFL games on Christmas Day--all to prepare for this moment.

So It Shouldn't Be a Total Loss
Colorado Avalanche fans (myself especially) were still celebrating that huge comeback win over the Buffalo Sabres, which was our sixth straight win. Next up for the Avs: a Saturday battle with the Montréal Canadiens, our former longtime perennial foes from our days as the Quebec Nordiques. The first thought as I watched this: the last time we had a big winning streak entering a game against Montréal, it came to an end against Les Habitants.

NFL Week 18 Recap: The Final Pieces
Well, football fans, this was it. The final day of the 2024 NFL season, with the last 14 remaining games in the overall schedule. Week 18 kicked off with the two AFC North games on Saturday, which saw the Baltimore Ravens win easily over the Cleveland Browns to win the division, while the Cincinnati Bengals won on the road over the Pittsburgh Steelers to earn the right to at least do some scoreboard watching to see if they get in. For my recap of what I called, "AFC North Saturday," click here.

NFL Week 18 AFC North Saturday Recap: Still Standing
I love the final week of the season; always have. The wildest and craziest crap always happens on the final week of the NFL season, and I'm speaking from experience; I've seen a lot of it go down in that last week. This is the 15th year of the all-division games final week schedule, and regarding this format, the 18-week format, this year is Year Four. Since 2021, the 18th and final week of the regular season features three national TV spots: two games on Saturday, and of course, the Sunday Night Football contest that ends the regular season. The three slots always go to the most vital games in the playoff picture, with the biggest one saved for Sunday night.
