Moose Tracks
The Colorado Avalanche's four-game homestand reached the halfway point, and so far, so good. The Avs are coming off a very awesome overtime win over the Nashville Predators on Veterans Day, and now, we were on TNT and still at home against the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings are on quite a good start this season, they've been straddling the first place fence for a good bit, and they've had quite a good start to this season.

WWE Villainess Blown Opportunity(?): Two Chances to Turn Dana Brooke Heel
It's not just Lifetime and Tubi who miss out on creating some good villainesses. Wrestling has made some missteps as well. There are some that I get over easily, and some others that just anger me. This, TBH, is part of the former; I'm not upset that we didn't get this, but it still would have been amazing. I remember when WWE randomly paired Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose together, and yes, it was random. It was during the Thunderdome period, and Mandy was coming off the end of her partnership with Sonya Deville, which ended with the revelation that the evil Sonya attempted to sabotage Mandy's budding relationship with Otis, resulting in Mandy's face turn.

Incoming Dallas Cowboys Rant
I probably shouldn't do this, but I'm about to go on a heated, yet calm rant about my beloved team, the Dallas Cowboys. After their blowout loss to their rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, I felt like I have to vent and get a lot of stuff off my chest. America's Team has been so infuriating to watch every single year. Winning the NFC East titles are nice, but they always end up falling short in the Wild Card round. In case you didn't know, the Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl since 1995. So, for almost 30 years, they've been nothing but mediocre, unmotivated, and lack a sense of urgency. It's like this team lack heart. I understand what this team is currently going through, but something has got to change and fast. How many more one and dones and awful seasons are Cowboys fans willing to tolerate?

Breaking Away
The Colorado Avalanche's form has returned in grand fashion, as the team is coming off a huge win over the Carolina Hurricanes--a win that saw the Avs score five goals in the second period. The Avs are maneuvering victories; something we saw a lot in the last three years with this team, and we took that to our second game of this four-game homestand. In this go-around, it was a Division Rivalry meeting against the Nashville Predators--the second meeting between the two clubs in less than two weeks. The first meeting did not go so well for the Avs, who looked to rectify that in this second go-around.
