Bio
I'm a big sports fan, especially hockey, and I've been a fan of villainesses since I was eight! My favorite shows are The Simpsons and Family Guy, etc.

The Scarlet Queen (Part 1)
In front of a huge crowd, a surreal scene took place inside the squared circle. In an event hosted by a promotion known as the Diamond Wrestling Association, one of their top young stars, Roxie Hart, was celebrating in the ring with another competitor, Empress Nikita. The two women just fought each other in a 25-minute match that served as the main event, and after the final bell sounded, both women--popular babyfaces--joined hands and showed their appreciation to the crowd in a very beautiful scene.

Super Bowl LIX Recap: Meet the New Boss
I've said this many times before; even as a diehard hockey fan, I cannot deny that Super Bowl Sunday is the best day of the sports calendar. The entire day is centered on that one big game. If you combine the pregame, the actual game, and the postgame celebrations, you're basically looking at about 12 hours centered on this game--literally half of the entire day. It's worth it, though. The Super Bowl gets grander and grander, and this edition, the 59th edition, is no different.

Simpsons Review: "Lisa the Greek"
One of the many, many things I love about the Super Bowl is the heavy promotion for the big game. That promotion often includes shows airing episodes centering on the Super Bowl, and The Simpsons was definitely no stranger to this. The long-running series brought up the Super Bowl quite a bit during their run, which began in 1989--during the San Francisco 49ers' run to winning Super Bowl XXIV. This review is about the first of these occasions, one of my favorite episodes, "Lisa the Greek."

Is There Anything More Beautiful Than Beating the Oilers?
The Four Nations Break is days away, as was another big game in another league, but for the Colorado Avalanche, this was our last game for a good bit. And how fitting that our last game before the break is against the Edmonton Oilers. For one, it's MacKinnon vs McDavid, that's always a main event matchup. And secondly, the next time we'll see MacKinnon, McDavid, and Makar? They'll be teammates representing Canada in Four Nations. Holy guacamole!

Rise of "Le Matriarche" (Part 2). Top Story - February 2025.
Wrestling fans all over Canada, and even all over the world, were still talking about what took place in Hamilton, Ontario. What started out as a planned confrontation ended with a brutal and shocking betrayal. Janine Brock, the World Champion of the Women's Wrestling Brigade, had been taunted and teased by the mysterious Le Matriarche, a notorious Quebecoise wrestling villainess looking to rule WWB. During all of this, Janine confided in her friend and mentor, Collette Shannon, a wrestling legend and a fellow Ontarian, regarding her ordeal.

Rise of "Le Matriarche" (Part 1)
The city: Calgary. The largest city in the province of Alberta. A city placed in North America's Rocky Mountain region. Calgary has a rich sports history. The CFL's Stampeders have won the Grey Cup eight times. The NHL's Flames have had their share of legends such as Joe Nieuwendyk, Jarome Iginla, and of course, Lanny McDonald, the sage veteran of their 1989 Stanley Cup. But among other things, Calgary is known as a huge wrestling city, serving as the home of the famous Dungeon.

Did the Avs Win the Trade?
The Colorado Avalanche's last three games prior to the Four Nations break were all in Western Canada, and this old Northwest Division fan can't help but enjoy when the Avs go there. The Avs were division foes with the three teams in that area for 15 years before the divisions were realigned to their current look. The trip began on Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks, and that game saw the Avs blanked by Thatcher Demko. Next up, it's back-to-back in Alberta, and the first half of the double dip sees us in Calgary against the Flames.

Goose Eggs
Maybe it's me, but it seems like there are two sides to being a Colorado Avalanche fan; at least it seems that way ever since we became, well... this about seven years ago. One side is elated over a number of the games we've played, especially the ones we've won and how we won them, and we believe that we'll get a good spot in the standings. The other sees how our rivals are doing, and in moments where we fail to capitalize, we believe our journey will end sooner than it should.

The Great Wall of Blackwood
It's the second day of February. We are one week away from Super Bowl Sunday, but in the NHL, the Four Nations break is close--starting next Monday. Even with the extended gap, February is an important month in the NHL season. It's the last month before the final full month of March, so teams who are looking to become part of the NHL's Sweet 16 are itching to jockey for position. This includes the Colorado Avalanche, who are angling to move up in the Central Division. The team returned home on Friday and shut out the St. Louis Blues. For this game, it was the Philadelphia Flyers visiting Ball Arena.

Reviewing the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble Match (and My Hopes for Future Events)
Amazing, isn't it? Once upon a time, the concept of a Women's Royal Rumble match sounded impossible, like a pipe dream, like a fantasy. Here it is, the first day of February 2025, and it is Year Eight of the Women's Royal Rumble Match. The whole thing started with the 2018 event; Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch were the first ever entrants, and the first winner was Asuka. We've seen a lot of wild moments since then, and some emotional surprise entrants as well. I still carry all of the heartfelt emotion from three years ago when Melina finally made her first Women's Rumble appearance in 2022.

A Beautiful Blowout
It was a rough Eastern road swing for the Colorado Avalanche. A loss in Boston, a close win at MSG, followed by a terrible loss in Long Island. These games were our first following the deal that sent Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes, while the Avs received Jack Drury and Martin Necas, along with a pair of draft picks. So far, the two new players have delivered. Drury has two goals already, while Necas has four assists. Even so, the 1-2-0 record in the East Coast triple dip did not help our case in the standings. We need wins and points ASAP!

Have a Seat
Seems like yesterday I was waiting for this season to start. Yet here it is, heading towards the end of January, with the Four Nations break just a week and a half away. The Colorado Avalanche are in the East Coast for three games, and the second game was a huge clutch win at Madison Square Garden over the Rangers. The trip came to an end with a trip to Long Island against the Islanders. The Avs were looking to continue to keep pace with the Central Division's Top 3; it has not been easy.
