NFL Week 18 AFC North Saturday Recap: Still Standing
I love the final week of the season; always have. The wildest and craziest crap always happens on the final week of the NFL season, and I'm speaking from experience; I've seen a lot of it go down in that last week. This is the 15th year of the all-division games final week schedule, and regarding this format, the 18-week format, this year is Year Four. Since 2021, the 18th and final week of the regular season features three national TV spots: two games on Saturday, and of course, the Sunday Night Football contest that ends the regular season. The three slots always go to the most vital games in the playoff picture, with the biggest one saved for Sunday night.

Right Where We Wanted Them
So this was definitely a game to remember! The Colorado Avalanche had a great New Year's Eve, winning big over the NHL-leading Winnipeg Jets. It's a New Year now, but the Avalanche still have that same groove, as we entered our game against the Buffalo Sabres. This was the second and last meeting of the season, and we all remember how the first game ended. The Avs trailed 4-0, but went on to win 5-4 in regulation in Buffalo, which was part of the Sabres' 13-game losing streak.

New Year's Revolution (Week 18)
We made it, folks! A New Year is here, and in a few days, we say goodbye to the 2024 NFL season. I'm not gonna lie; I was afraid that there would be nothing to talk about in this final week. It looked like we were on our way to the most boring final week since 2017. Remember that season? Week 18 took place on New Year's Eve, and there were so few relevant storylines that the week did not even have a season ending Sunday Night game. Thankfully, certain circumstances gave us something for the final week of the this season.

Happy New Year, everyone, and especially to my fellow puckheads out there! This has been a hell of a season so far. We've seen some amazing moments from the 32 teams, we've seen some history, some milestones, but sadly, we had some tragedy entering the season. Now, we are in a new calendar year, and January is an important month, as it's normally the last full month before All-Star Break, though this year, the NHL is doing the Four Nations event.

Ending the Year on a Roll
It's fitting that the Colorado Avalanche's last game of the 2024 calendar year was against the Winnipeg Jets. The Avs entered that year having problems with Winnipeg, yet the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs saw us totally dismantle them. However, Connor Hellebuyck got his pound of flesh in the first meeting of the season, a 1-0 shutout win in Winnipeg. On New Year's Eve, it was Round Two, and it was in Denver this time. We had the added bonus of Jonathan Drouin returning to the lineup as well.
