Avalanche Game 17 Recap: WTF?!
With a three game winning streak, as well as a massive comeback win in Dallas, the Colorado Avalanche entered Nashville for the second leg of their two-game divisional road trip. In recent years, the Avalanche and the Nashville Predators have had some interesting encounters. This includes two playoff matchups, with the Preds winning in 2018, while the Avs swept them in 2022 during the Stanley Cup run. This meeting is the first of three between the clubs, but they will not see each other again until March.

110th Grey Cup Recap: Huit
I still can't believe it! The 110th Grey Cup truly delivered and showed how absolutely epic the Canadian Football League is, as this year's title game pitted the Winnipeg Blue Bombers against the Montréal Alouettes--the first time these two teams are facing each other for all of the marbles. The Alouettes are looking to win their first Grey Cup in 13 years, while the Blue Bombers are looking to return to the CFL throne and become a dynasty--the first in over 40 years.

The Boston Bruins Are Doing That Thing Again
You know, I really need to stop making certain takes about the Boston Bruins, because for the most part, I've been like the Boston Red Sox: constantly swinging and missing. In all seriousness, let's go back a bit. After the 2021-22 season, which saw the Bruins ousted in the first round by the Carolina Hurricanes, I said that the Bruins wouldn't make the playoffs. I had my usual arguments; the team's not deep, they live and die by the Perfection Line, Tuukka Rask isn't there anymore, and the added bonus, they fired Bruce Cassidy as head coach.

Avalanche Game 16 Recap: The Comeback is Bigger in Texas
The Colorado Avalanche are coming off a huge 8-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks, winning back-to-back games for the first time since the team's 6-0 start. The Avs left Ball Arena and headed on a two game divisional road swing, with the first stop being a big one: Dallas. The Dallas Stars have had to start over after missing the playoffs in that shortened 2020-21 season (following their Cup Final run in the bubble), with the following season seeing them snag a Wild Card spot, and last year saw them in the Conference Finals. Entering this weekend, the Stars and Avs are one and two in the Central Division, and this was Colorado's chances to make a dent in their small division deficit, as well as remind the Stars just who the hell this team is.

110th Grey Cup Playoffs: Division Finals Recap
Never thought I'd see a season end within the first few minutes of the game. The Division Finals kicked off with the Toronto Argonauts hosting the Montréal Alouettes back East, and for the Argos, the opening drive was moving very smoothly. Everything was going right. It was going to be smooth sailing for the Boatmen.

Reviewing Disney+'s "Goosebumps" Revival, and My Hopes for Season 2
God, I love Goosebumps! Let me tell you a bit of a personal story. When I was in third grade, I saw nearly all of the kids with these books that said, "Goosebumps" on the front. I had no idea what they were; I did know that they were supposed to be horror stories directed at children. I also knew one other thing: I wanted those books! I finally bought a Goosebumps book about a year or two later, though I didn't collect them in order, mainly because there were a lot of them out at that time.

The Vancouver Canucks Are Legit
As of this writing, the Vancouver Canucks are in first place in the Pacific Division. Honestly, it makes me happy to say that. Once upon a time, I couldn't stand this team, and that was mainly because of the Steve Moore incident. I absolutely loved seeing this team fail, especially in the 2011 Cup Final, and in the following year's playoffs, which saw them only win one game after winning the Presidents' Trophy again. Then the 2020 bubble happened, and I saw the Canucks make a surprising playoff run, ousting the Minnesota Wild in that Qualifying Round, eliminating the then-defending Cup Champion St. Louis Blues in the opening round, and taking the Vegas Golden Knights to the maximum seven games in the West Semis, but coming up just short.

Avalanche Game 15 Recap: Duck Season
The Colorado Avalanche returned to their home arena coming off a huge win over the Seattle Kraken, finishing off the season series. A 5-1 win in the Monday outing was exactly what they needed, and as for Game #15, the Avs were back at home facing off against the Anaheim Ducks for the first time this season. For the Ducks, this is the second game of a back-to-back; they defeated the Nashville Predators, 3-2, a day earlier.

Tammy Lynn Sytch: It's Always Something...and It's Never Sunny
Tammy Lynn Sytch. Oh boy... I've spent nearly a year deciding whether or not to even waste (at least) 600 words on her. I've gone back and forth on it for so long, and for the most part, I wasn't going to write this, because the subject of Sunny is a tad triggering for me. Ironically, it's exactly why I finally decided to get this all out on the wonderful site known as Vocal, because it's better than keeping it all to myself.

NFL Week 10 Recap: Big Trouble in Orchard Park
The look on Josh Allen's face says it all. The Buffalo Bills returned home to face the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football, and they were looking to make up for their Sunday Night Football loss to the Cincinnati Bengals a week prior. The opportunity was there. The Miami Dolphins were on a bye, the New York Jets and the New England Patriots both lost, so they could really pick up a lot. The Broncos entered as winners of two of their last three, but with the Bills having home field, they definitely had the golden opportunity.

Avalanche Game 14 Recap: Just What the Doctor Ordered
The Colorado Avalanche entered this new week coming off a very awful home loss to the St. Louis Blues, and now, the team looked to make up for their defeat while returning to the road to face off against a very familiar foe: the Seattle Kraken. This is the last meeting of the season between these two clubs; with the teams splitting the first two games. Not only were the Avs looking to win the season series against Seattle, they were also looking to do something that hadn't been done in weeks: score a goal on the road.

Avalanche Game 13 Recap: Unacceptable
After receiving our first home loss of this young season, the Colorado Avalanche looked to truly bounce back in the third and last game of this homestand. The team heading into Ball Arena was none other than the St. Louis Blues. This was a Division Rivalry game, and the Blues were in their first full season after the teardown that happened in the middle of last year. So the Blues were a wild card. The Avs' recent history with the Blues had been a good one, but this was a new season series. Even so, it is often fun when the Blues and Avalanche get together.
