Inferno: The Rise of the Calgary Flames
It's ironic; the Pacific Division is clearly the worst out of the four divisions this season, yet it has the most intriguing storylines. The up-and-down play of the Edmonton Oilers, as well as their signing of Evander Kane. The Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks becoming playoff contenders. The Vegas Golden Knights struggling, the Vancouver Canucks staying in the race, and the Seattle Kraken's first season. The biggest story, without question, is the Calgary Flames suddenly going on a winning tear and taking the lead in the Pacific Division.

A Look Back: Melina's 1st Women's Championship
Hard to believe it was 15 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday. Monday, February 19, 2007: the very evening that Melina Perez reached the top of the women's division and won WWE's Women's Championship for the very first time. It was a long time coming, and the road to that title was a very interesting and entertaining one

The Sad Golden Rule in Sports: White Can, BIPOC Can't
The continuous racial double standard in sports continues to rear its ugly head, and it's hit this year's Winter Olympics. I'm familiar to how harshly athletes of color are treated in comparison to white athletes. I've seen it in football constantly. Players such as Terrell Owens, Keyshawn Johnson, Chad Johnson, and many other Black players get lambasted for having a personality, for their celebrations, but it's OK if White athletes do it. I've seen Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski act up numerous times during games, but with White athletes, "They're passionate about the game." But when it comes to POC athletes, that's when the negative connotations come in:

Super Bowl LVI Recap: A Hollywood Ending
Super Bowl Sunday. Even as a diehard hockey fan, I know how absolutely sacred that day is. It's not like any other day. It's a day full of celebration, prestige, and pomp and circumstance--and that's when the game is in other cities. Super Bowl LVI emanated from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California; though, let's face it, it's Hollywood. It's Los Angeles. And it's home NFC franchise, the Los Angeles Rams, were playing in their home stadium against a Cincinnati Bengals team who exceeded so many expectations. Regarding myself, I'm always excited for the Super Bowl, but for this one, I was extra elated, as it featured two teams I was happy for in regards to reaching this big game.

Ann Pettway & Gloria Williams: A Tale of Two Sinister Child Abductors
Not only am I a fan of Lifetime films, I am also a Black fan of Lifetime films. I always enjoy Lifetime films regardless, but I have loved seeing a handful of such movies featuring a cast of Black actors. Recently, we were treated to a pair of thrillers in Single Black Female, whose cast included Amber Riley (Glee), Raven Goodwin, and Janet Hubert (the original Aunt Viv), and the film Line Sisters, which featured LeToya Luckett and Ta'Rhonda Jones. Lifetime has also featured some true stories in their films, with some of them affecting the Black community.

Reviewing a Hat Trick of Villainesses from "Sorority Party Massacre"
I stumbled on to this film, Sorority Party Massacre, expecting a typical low-budget thrill ride, and it did not disappoint. The film kicks off with Holly Fanning being harassed via cellphone by a mysterious killer, who later eliminates Holly, and afterwards, detective William "Bill" Watts is sent to Grizzly Cove to investigate. The order came from Bill's superior (and Holly's father), Captain Dan Fanning, and it's a weird form of punishment--as Bill's anger problems have plagued the department. The investigation leads him to the town's sheriff, Barney P. Lumpkin, Deputy Lang, and what appears to be a lavish sorority house.

The Phenomenal Career of Tuukka Rask
This week, longtime Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask called it a career; he announced his retirement from the National Hockey League. Rask's career had been an amazing one, as his stellar goaltending put the Bruins back on the map for the first time in decades. He definitely made a lot of waves in his career, with his first one coming even before he started in the NHL.

A Look Back: Triple H's Road to WrestleMania X8
Can you believe it? It's WrestleMania season already! The road to WrestleMania began with the Royal Rumble (as it often does) and it will continue until the weekend of April 2, when the two-night event takes place. Every year, numerous stars have interesting, nail-biting, and yes, emotional roads to that grand stage, and Triple H was no different, as 2002 marked a huge comeback for The Game. Here is the complete story of Triple H's road to WrestleMania in 2002.

Villainess Review: Olivia Stevens (Cut, Color, Murder)
It had been over four months since Hallmark Movies and Mysteries aired an original mystery film. That's a long wait for this fan. HM&M starts their wave of holiday films in late October, and they last for the rest of the year and even about a week or two into the New Year, but during the break, I did learn about this movie, Cut, Color, Murder. From the looks of it, this should be the first of yet another original mystery film series, and if so, I'm looking forward to more of these. The star pairing in this film is Julie Gonzalo, who was recently part of the Arrowverse with her regular role as Andrea Rojas on Supergirl, and Ryan McPartlin, who played on L.A.'s Finest.

28-3: Five Years Later
Hard to believe that five years have passed since the biggest embarrassment in the history of the Super Bowl. On February 5, 2017, the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons faced off in Super Bowl LI, the final chapter of a very intriguing season and playoffs. The Patriots were attempting to win their fifth Super Bowl and their second in a three year span, while the Falcons were in the Super Bowl for the second time in franchise history. To the surprise (and delight) to many watching, this was all Falcons to start. It was scoreless after one quarter, but the Falcons exploded on offense; putting up three touchdowns while their defense held the Patriots to a single field goal, which came at the end of the half.

NHL 2021-22 Western Conference 1st Half Recap
The picture in the NHL's Western Conference has been a very intriguing (and crowded) one, to say the least. While it appears that the Eastern Conference may have their playoff teams set in stone, the Western Conference has a lot of pieces on the board entering the All-Star break. The potential for a thrilling second half and home stretch is right in front of us, but before we look at the possibilities, let's look at where the West teams stand.

NHL 2021-22 Eastern Conference 1st Half Recap
It was rocky, but the NHL made it to the All-Star Break, the midpoint of the season. The second half will begin sooner than planned, as the 95 games that were postponed due to the outbreak of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, will all be played during the NHL's originally scheduled Olympic break during the heart of February. But that's the second half. This is about the first half of the season, and it was quite interesting in the NHL's Eastern Conference. Here's how things stand in the East entering the break.
