Reviewing a Hat Trick of Villainesses from "Deadly Cheer Mom"
I've really loved that Tubi has been releases these original movies, because--for the most part--they're Lifetime movies that neither the main network nor its sister station, Lifetime Movie Network, have aired (as of yet). The latest one, Deadly Cheer Mom, centered on the cheerleading squad at Bridgebay High School, which had Beth Hartford as their newly appointed captain. It helps (or rather, it doesn't help) that the coach is Beth's mother, Deb Hartford, and we see Beth receive an earful from fellow cheerleader, Ashley, who hurls the nepotism accusations.

What Went Wrong: Canadiens Eliminated After Dream Season
We have our first elimination of the 2021-22 NHL season, and it belongs to the Montréal Canadiens. The Washington Capitals' 4-3 shootout win over the Buffalo Sabres on March 25 ended up eliminating the Canadiens (who were idle on that evening) from playoff contention; marking the end of a very disappointing season that has seen so many unexpected negatives. The Canadiens' last two seasons prior to this one were surprisingly stellar, and to think, the team's good seasons and good fortune were the result of the league being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Women's Dusty Classic Winners Crowned, But Their Focus Changes
Shortly after Diamond Mine won the Men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, the second-ever Women's version took place, with eight teams vying for a shot at the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship, held by Toxic Attraction's Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne. The latest edition of NXT featured the finals of the tournament, which pitted Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray against the makeshift team of Dakota Kai and Wendy Choo. The match served as the main event, and it would end with the dream team of Io and KLR emerging victorious and winning the Dusty Cup.

A Wild "Flower" Blooms in Minnesota
I remember learning about the Minnesota Wild's debut into the NHL two years before it actually happened. The Wild were part of an expansion wave that spread out during the 1990s and entering the 21st century; in fact they were one of four teams who debuted in three straight seasons. 1998 gave us the Nashville Predators, 1999 gave us the Atlanta Thrashers (who moved to Winnipeg in 2011), and 2000 gave us not only the Wild, but the Columbus Blue Jackets as well. It only took them three seasons to reach the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time, and it would see them reach the Western Conference Final.

Villainess Review: Amanda Roberts (Your Boyfriend is Mine)
One day after I celebrated my 37th birthday, Lifetime delivered with a doubleheader of new films, with the second of the two films, Your Boyfriend is Mine, being the one I was more excited for. We are introduced to the film's villainess right at the start: Amanda Roberts, as she is shown berating James Yates, who had been in an arrangement with Amanda and wanted out. He does leave after Amanda lashed out and stated that she had given him everything, but his freedom doesn't last too long, as he is suddenly stabbed to death by a masked assailant.

Stand Back! The Hurricanes Are Coming Through!
Hard to believe that it's been 25 years since the Hartford Whalers moved from Connecticut to Raleigh, North Carolina and became the Carolina Hurricanes. The Whalers' relocation to Raleigh made them the 3rd straight team to move, following the footsteps of the Quebec Nordiques in 1995 (becoming the Colorado Avalanche) and the original Winnipeg Jets in 1996 (becoming the Phoenix Coyotes). In the quarter-century they've played in Raleigh, the Carolina Hurricanes have enjoyed a level of success that they never had in Hartford, which included two trips to the Stanley Cup Final in 2002 and 2006, with the latter year seeing them hoist the Cup.

Thunder Rosa Captures the AEW Women's World Championship
On March 16, 2022, All Elite Wrestling aired their second annual St. Patrick's Day Slam episode of Dynamite, and it was main evented by a steel cage match for the AEW Women's World Championship between entering titleholder Britt Baker, and challenger Thunder Rosa. This is the second title meeting between the two rivals in a week and a half; they faced off at Revolution on March 6, but the usual interference from Britt's cohorts, Rebel and Jamie Hayter, helped Britt retain. Thunder Rosa won her way to another title opportunity three days later on Dynamite by defeating Leyla Hirsch in a Championship Eliminator match, and the steel cage environment was made to keep anyone (including and especially Britt's cronies) out.

Villainess Review: Diane Hansen (Person of Interest)
I still remember seeing the promos for the CBS series, Person of Interest, when it aired, though I never saw one episode of the show until a few years later when I started binge-watching. The series had a fantastic cast, led by Jim Caviezel as John Reese, a former Army Rangers and CIA agent who was presumed dead. Michael Emerson played Harold Finch, a multimillionaire computer programmer who devised "The Machine," a program that collects all sorts of info to not only predict terrorist acts (among other crimes), but also identify those behind them. Finch uses The Machine to prevent any potential deaths, and he enlists Reese to seek out the people picked out by The Machine, and also determined if they are a victim or the perpetrator.

Villainess Review: Vanessa (Vid Chronicles)
Out of all of those "life lessons" video pages, I have to say that I love Vid Chronicles the best. For one, it's darker and grittier than Dhar Mann and Totally Studios, and secondly, the villainesses in Vid Chronicles are that much more interesting. One of a number of examples of both attributes is featured in one of their short films, Girlfriend Harms Boyfriend's Son, which centered on Vanessa, the girlfriend of divorced father James.

Villainess Review: Princess Audrey (Descendants 3)
I was enamored by the Descendants films before the first one even aired. I saw the preview for this in 2015 and I was all in on the concept: a quartet of offspring from Disney's noted villains. The group was led by Mal (Maleficent's daughter), and consisted of Carlos (Cruella de Vil's son), Jay (Jafar's son), and Evie (the Evil Queen's daughter). So I watched this on Disney Channel on the premiere date in 2015, and I absolutely loved this! The quartet's infiltration into Auradon and their slow and successful attempt at fitting in shined as the focus, and because these villainous offspring were the central protagonists, I figured that, in true Disney fashion, one of the heroic descendants would become villainous.

All That Glitters is Not Golden Knights
I've written two stories on the Vegas Golden Knights already. The first one centered on how the team and their fans have become immensely unlikable in less than five years of existence. The elitism that has blanketed the culture of the Golden Knights is due to the results of their inaugural year. As we all know, Year One saw the Golden Knights finish first in the Pacific Division, surpass the 100-point mark, and reach the Stanley Cup Final. They even won the first game of the Final, but lost the next four, but in spite of the defeat, just getting there on their first try was enough to pump the egos of the Golden Knights and their fans. They expected this every year. I'd go as far as to say that the team felt they deserved to be handed the Cup on the following year.

A Look at Major League Baseball's Many Changes as the Lockout Ends
It's over. The latest Major League Baseball lockout finally came to an end just one day short of the 100-day mark, with a tentative CBA agreement. The collateral damage was minimal; spring training was lost, and Opening Day ended up pushed back a week--from March 31 to April 7. Despite the later start, a full 162-game season is the plan, with the regular season set to end on October 2, 2022. This work stoppage is the first one since 1994, and that one saw the remainder of that season canceled, as well as that year's postseason and World Series. It also resulted in the 1995 season starting late and containing 144 games, and that season ended with the Atlanta Braves winning the World Series.
