I'm a big sports fan, especially hockey, and I've been a fan of villainesses since I was eight! My favorite shows are The Simpsons and Family Guy, etc.

The #1 Contenders
Well, Avs fans, we did it! Now we need to do something with it. Thursday was the Colorado Avalanche's second chance to capture the Presidents' Trophy, and unlike four years ago when we were one of the last two teams in contention for that trophy, there's no way out this time. The Avs were ahead of the next team in line (the Carolina Hurricanes) by too much with little time left. So we were winning this thing. All we had to do was beat the Calgary Flames--the same Flames we horribly extinguished over a week prior.

Mammoth's 2nd Year Results in 1st Postseason
I have seen my share of relocations in sports over the years. Hell, I'm a fan of a relocated team. Though the tale (or "terrifying tale," as Homer Simpson put it in one episode) of how the Quebec Nordiques became the Colorado Avalanche truly pales in comparison to other insane relocation occurrences in sports. Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg and becoming Jets 2.0. Seattle is still hurting over losing the SuperSonics to Oklahoma City, where they are now known as the Thunder. The Bay Area has now lost two teams to Vegas, with the Athletics' crap being absolutely ridiculous. And Cleveland still curses Art Modell's name nearly 14 years after his passing.

Penguins Are Back in the Saddle Again
While I always enjoy the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the last three years have been, well, a tad incomplete. Something was missing. Not just something--someone was missing. A group of someones missing. As amazing as the Stanley Cup Playoffs always are, there seemed to be a bit of a void during the last three seasons.

Best in the West by Far
It's amazing how timing works. Eight years ago on this exact day, the Colorado Avalanche faced off against the St. Louis Blues in what was Game 82 for both teams. It was a head-to-head battle for the last playoff spot, and on that evening, the Avs won, 5-2, over the Blues, nabbing that last spot and ending the Blues' season. That was the Avs' first playoff appearance in four years, and it kicked off our current playoff streak, which now stands at a league-leading nine years.

A Long Overdue Welcome to Vice City
This weekend, we were treated to NXT's annual Stand and Deliver event, which is NXT's biggest event of the year. This was the sixth Stand and Deliver event; it started as one of NXT's many "Takeover" events in 2021, and then the "Takeover" label was removed on the following year. One constant remained true: Stand and Deliver always took place on the first weekend of April, which served as WrestleMania weekend until last year. The event usually took place early on that Saturday due to WM being a two night event since 2020, but ever since WWE made WM a mid-April event, Stand and Deliver gets the primetime spotlight.

Unholy Shenanigans
The Colorado Avalanche were coming off a huge win; a 2-0 victory over the Dallas Stars on the road. That win reduced our magic number from six points to just two; just one win away from not only winning the Central Division, but also getting the #1 seed in the Western Conference. In this game, the Avs were up against the St. Louis Blues, one of a number of teams locked into an insane logjam in the Western Conference's Wild Card race.

La Suite: Canadiens Return to Playoffs with Expectations
Last year, there were three playoff berths that truly shocked the hockey world: the Ottawa Senators, the St. Louis Blues, and the Montréal Canadiens. The Sens were ruined by that Matt Duchene deal in 2017, and the Blues crashed and burned after winning the Stanley Cup in 2019, but they both got in. As for the Canadiens, they had a 2021 run to remember. Not expected to win a single game in that year's playoffs, Les Habitants won thirteen of them; falling just three wins shy of the Stanley Cup.

Stanley Cup Playoff Push 2026: If Three's a Crowd, What's Five?
We are almost a week into the month of April, and we are down to the final dozen days of the regular season. Time is definitely running out for a lot of teams. It ended up running out for a few others. More teams were eliminated this past week, and one of them was the Toronto Maple Leafs. It will not be 10 in a row for the Leafs, and for team captain Auston Matthews, it's the first time in his career that he'll miss the playoffs. It's almost like the Leafs shouldn't have traded Mitch Marner. Oh wait, they shouldn't have!

Serving Humble Pie Since 1995
On March 18, 2026, the Colorado Avalanch hosted the Dallas Stars on national TV. It was very extra special for this Avs fan, as that day was my birthday. The game was close throughout; Avs led 1-0 after 20, game tied at 1 after 40, after 60, and even after 65. Game to a shootout, and the Stars won it. Stars moved within two points of the Avs in the Central, and boy were Stars fans pounding their chests. If you ask them, it was a foregone conclusion that they would overtake the Avs in the Central.

Villainess Review: Aubrey Hoffman (9-1-1: Nashville)
I absolutely, positively love 9-1-1: Nashville! I loved it from the moment I saw the first promo for this months ago. The hockey fan in me can't help bu love that Nashville is the setting; yes, the original show is in an NHL city as well, but Nashville is a Central Division city. I love the cast immensely; still hard to believe that Chris O'Donnell's first appearance as Robin in Batman Forever was over 30 years ago. Of course, Jessica Capshaw, LeAnn Rimes, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, oh yeah, a hat trick of awesome actresses.
