Is This Finally the Year for the Maple Leafs?
I've been sitting on this for over a month, but the NFL season's insanity have caused me to put this on hold. But let me set the scene here. We are almost in February, we are two weeks away from the Four Nations break, and the Toronto Maple Leafs are in first place in the Atlantic Division. The Leafs have been leading the division for a good bit, but now, it's getting serious.

New Look, Same Clutch Moments
Before the Conference Championship games started, I got into some early hockey on Sunday. The Colorado Avalanche were playing the second half of a back-to-back, and similar to the previous day's game, it was a matinee start. Saturday was the Avs' first game since the Mikko Rantanen trade, and it was a loss to the Boston Bruins. After falling against a struggling Boston team, we headed to Madison Square Garden to face off against the New York Rangers, finishing that season series as well. The Rangers, who had been struggling for most of this season, were now on a ten-game points streak and looked to capitalize further.

Conference Championship Recap: I've Seen This Movie Before
Conference Championship Sunday. Always an awesome treat. I've said this many times on here, the final round before the big one is always epic. The NFL has the Conference Championships since 1970. MLB has the League Championship Series, which started a year prior in 1969. The NBA and NHL each have the Conference Finals as the last round before a champion is crowned. Both Conference Championships often take place on Sunday, though some have said that we should see one game on Saturday, while the other occurs on Sunday. A benefit to that idea is that each game would air on primetime, but it's actually fine that both games play on Sunday, mainly because one conference champion could receive an extra day of rest before the Super Bowl, and that wouldn't exactly be fair.

Bad Day in Beantown
So this was it, Avs faithful. The day after. Many Avalanche fans had thoughts about the big shocking trade, sending Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes, and receiving Martin Necas, Jack Drury, and a pair of draft picks. A lot of fans felt this was a bad deal for us, but some of the ones with that sentiment felt that there was no other choice. Rantanen wanted to be paid very handsomely. He wanted Leon Draisaitl money. He wanted to be paid more than MacKinnon. If we had done that, we could kiss our depth goodbye. It sucks, but it had to be done.

A Lot to Pack In
So I'm a tad behind on the Colorado Avalanche recaps, and I already explained the reason why in an earlier story, which you can check out here. In the time that passed, the Avalanche's homestand was completed, with two highly important four-point games within the Central Division. We were coming off winning an important game against the Dallas Stars, and now we had to deal with two more division rivalry games.

It's Me, It's Me, It's C.E.D.. Top Story - January 2025.
Oh man, oh man, oh man. Where do I start? It's been a wild week for me, and it has little to nothing to do with sports; though it will be mentioned. In a span of a number of days, I went from bewildered, to panicked, to frustrated, to nearly on the point to tears, to finally receiving some relief, answers, and a solution. It was one hell of a test for me, and thankfully, I passed with flying colors.

NFL Week 17 Thursday & Saturday Recap: Charge!!!
Week 17 kicked off with a pair of games on Christmas Day that started to mold the AFC playoff picture into proper placement. Fourteen games remained on the proverbial plate, with four of them taking place before the heart of the schedule took center stage. One took place on Thursday, while the other three occurred on Saturday, but all of them were very vital to the overall postseason picture.

Big Trouble in Big D
You know, there's always something about Thanksgiving week and Dallas, and this year proves it. The Dallas Mavericks hosted a game on Thanksgiving Eve. Thanksgiving Day saw the Dallas Cowboys in action per usual, and Black Friday saw the Colorado Avalanche in Dallas against the rival Stars. This is the first meeting of the season between the two clubs, and the first meeting since last year's second round matchup, which saw the Stars victorious in six games due to the Avs being hampered by Val Nichushkin's issues again.

NFL Week 13 Thanksgiving & Black Friday Recap: Extra Helpings
It's over, Chicago. The bad man can't hurt you anymore. This year's batch of Thanksgiving games started with an NFC North battle between the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears. For the Bears, enough had to be enough. Four days prior, they suffered a devastating OT loss to the Vikings. Of course, before that, the Packers blocked a game winning field goal. And before that, the Hail Mary. The Bears had to go to Motor City to face off against the NFL's lone real 10-1 team... and they were hanging in with them.

Reviewing "The Midnight Hour" and the Film's Hat Trick of Vampire Villainesses
Happy Halloween, all! Halloween and the month it falls on are truly the best. The entire month of October is dedicated to the horror genre, and while I believe any day and any month is a good time to enjoy horror, it just seems, well, right when we see it all in October (with one exception being the moments where Treehouse of Horror hits early November). I try my best to get in some good scares, chills, and thrills in October, and that includes this film, The Midnight Hour.
