The United States of Zelina
Even now, many hours later, I'm still so over the moon over this! I said it before, and I'll say it here. The mission regarding the instillation of the Women's Intercontinental and United States Championships in the end of 2024 was to give chances to the women who were lost in the shuffle for so long. Despite WWE having a very deep women's roster, only a select view are valued when it comes to the top titles. Fans had been begging for midcard titles for the women for a long time, and we finally got them. The titles were introduced in the fall of 2024, and on Saturday Night's Main Event in December 2024, Chelsea Green became WWE's first-ever Women's United States Champion. A month later on January 13, 2025, Lyra Valkyria became WWE's first-ever Women's Intercontinental Champion.

Reviewing the 1st Round of the 2025 NFL Draft
While the Stanley Cup and NBA Playoffs commenced, and the MLB's first month was coming to a close, the NFL Draft took place. Amazing that Draft time has come already, and it's always the NFL Draft that is the biggest deal out of the main four leagues. You always hear Draft talk during the season, and the NFL's Draft gets the most TV coverage out of the four leagues. My remote trigger finger was quite busy, as I not only watched the playoff action, I peeped in on Round 1 of the Draft. I remember semi-religiously watching the Draft for a few years; I even wrote down all of the picks as I watched one year--I think it was the fateful 2005 Draft that I did that.

Villainess Review: Kelsey Montgomery (My Family's Killer Affairs)
So far, 2025 has been quite fruitful in the world of Lifetime movies. The villainesses have been delicious, amazing, and unforgettable, and so have some of the films. Among the gems that Lifetime and LMN have given us is this nice true, My Family's Killer Affairs. This was just an amazing film with awesome twists, and another amazing first, so let's get to it.

The Champ is Here... for the 17th Time!
What a calendar year, right? First, Wayne Gretzky's record gets broken, and just weeks later, more history made elsewhere. On April 20, 2025, at Night 2 of WrestleMania 41, John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship. He did it, folks. Cena surpassed the number. He is a seventeen-time World Champion, and as we know, the road he took was not a virtuous one.

2025 Division Semifinals Preview
Well, folks, we're here! The regular season's ending, and the beautiful annual madness known as the Stanley Cup Playoffs is all set. The matchups are locked in, as is the overall schedule, which is flat out nuts this year. Of the eight series, two of them start on Saturday, three start on Sunday, two start on Monday, and one actually starts on Tuesday. And the one that starts on Tuesday isn't the one you'd think. The opening round of any sport's playoffs is always magical. Whether it's this, the Conference Quarterfinals in the NBA, Wild Card Weekend in the NFL, or (since 2022) the Wild Card Series in MLB, Round 1 is always just amazing, because from the moment the first game begins, the atmosphere and aura let fans know that this is a whole new game.

Le Doux Seize: Canadiens Grab Final Playoff Spot
I love this damn league, I really do. Nothing is cut and dry in the National Hockey League. The race for that 2nd Wild Card in the East was supposed to be over on Friday, but the Columbus Blue Jackets kept on winning when they needed it. As a result, the gap between the Blue Jackets and the Montréal Canadiens shrank. Two points separated them entering the penultimate day of the regular season. Each team had one game left. The Canadiens played first. They still controlled their own destiny. This was their last chance to get in on their own, and all they needed was one point in the standings. If they didn't get that, they would have to watch the Jackets tomorrow, and hope that the New York Islanders have enough in them to at least get that game to overtime.

Blues Complete West's Elite Eight Field
Hockey is a funny sport, isn't it? Six years ago, the St. Louis Blues finally did it. Their first Stanley Cup Championship in their long franchise history; the last team from that 1967 group to win the big one. After that, a hard fall. First round exits in each of the last two seasons, and then in 2022, an embarrassing second round loss to the Colorado Avalanche. That year ended up breaking the Blues, as the team sank to near rock bottom. They cleaned house. Let go of anyone relevant. It showed in the last two years. Terrible seasons all around. Even this year looked like it would be more of the same.

Wild Reach Playoffs Against All Odds
On this day, the 15th of April, everything could end up in place in this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs. This included the Minnesota Wild, who had a number of chances to clinch, and while they didn't get in entering this day, they kept moving closer and closer. On this Tuesday, the Wild were finishing the regular season, playing Game #82. They faced off against the Anaheim Ducks, and I swear, I can't watch a Ducks/Wild matchup without thinking of 2003 and how this was somehow the Western Conference Final that year. All Minnesota needed was just one point--get to OT.

California Dreaming
For the Colorado Avalanche, the last few games saw one clear mission: get ready for the playoffs. The foregone conclusion that we'd be facing the Dallas Stars was there for weeks. Now it's official. We entered our home finale with nothing else to play for, and we entered the last two games of the regular season with that same motivation. After hosting the Vancouver Canucks, the Avalanche's regular season ended in Southern California with back-to-back games against both clubs.

Stanley Cup Playoff Push 2025: The Remaining Pieces
Well, fellow puckheads, we are down to just four days left in the 2024-25 NHL regular season. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are less than a week away. I figured that all of the spots would be locked up by this point, but surprisingly, it's been a challenge. With very, very little time remaining, there's still quite a bit to decide. Let's talk about what we know for sure.

"Beyond the Gates" Week 7 Review
Can you believe we are almost two months into this amazing contribution to the soap opera genre?! Beyond the Gates keeps getting more and more delicious with each week that passes. 33 episodes have now aired on CBS, which isn't even a drop in the bucket compared to soaps that have existed for decades and generations, but even so, Beyond the Gates has definitely arrived in this genre... big time!

Preparing for the Playoffs
There's always something special about the last home of the regular season in any sport; though in baseball, it would be the last home series. In the case of hockey, similar to basketball, it's 82 total games, 41 at home, 41 away. The Avalanche played our 41st and final home game of this regular season with really nothing much to play for other than thanking the fans for another great regular season.
