After all of that, the actual NBA Playoffs start on Saturday, April 18.

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.

Sabres' 15-Year Itch is GONE!
April 24, 2011. On that day, the Buffalo Sabres hosted the Philadelphia Flyers in Game Six of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. The Sabres were up three games to two, and led 3-1 in Game Six, but the Flyers bounced back. Game was tied at four after sixty minutes, and the Flyers won in OT to force Game Seven. Game Seven took place in Philly on April 26, 2011, and the Flyers were victorious, 5-2, advancing to the second round. However, Sabres fans figured that it would be a matter of time before they're back in. So they waited.

Have the Rumors of the Lightning's Demise Been Greatly Exaggerated?
The penultimate Saturday of the regular season featured 15 games, a lot of them with playoff implications. Already, the first of the 15 games could affect two teams. The New York Rangers, who are long eliminated, hosted the Detroit Red Wings, who needed something to go right. Fans of the Tampa Bay Lightning had their TVs to ABC for this game, and it was going very well in their favor. Rookie Gabe Perreault picked up his first career Hat Trick, leading the Rangers to a 4-1.

Explaining My Inspirations For My Women's Wrestling Fiction Stories on Vocal
A lot of you may have noticed that I've been writing some fiction stories centering on the world of women's wrestling. I've been writing these stories for the last year or so, as a way of taking my fandom of women's wrestling to yet another level. For those of you familiar with my Lifetime-esque fics, don't fret, they are still coming.

Will the Wild Top 2003?
The fourth time was definitely the charm. The Minnesota Wild had attempted to lock in a spot in this year's playoffs three previous times before this chance. They had a "win and in" opportunity, but that fell through. They did some scoreboard watching on March 30, but things didn't go their way. On April 1, all that needed to happen was either a Kings loss or a Sharks regulation loss. Both teams won. Finally, on the following day, April 2, the Wild had the chance to do it themselves. All they needed was one point, but the Wild decided to get two. A 5-2 win over the lowly Vancouver Canucks (who were still high on scoring eight goals against the Avalanche), and that put the Wild back into the NHL's Sweet 16.

8th Straight Time Definitely Needs to be the Charm for Hurricanes
It's been a minute since we had another Stanley Cup Playoff clinch this season. March 20 saw the Colorado Avalanche as the very first team to get in, and two days later, the Dallas Stars joined the party. Nothing much since then, but here it is, the second day of April, and four teams entered this day with a chance to get in. Three of the teams were in the Eastern Conference, and one of them was the Carolina Hurricanes. The Hurricanes had been leading the Metropolitan Division for a good bit, and to get in, a win was all they needed.

No Foolin', No Goaltending
The calendar turned to the month of April, beginning the final 16 days of the regular season. Only three games took place on the first day of the fourth month, and one of them saw the Colorado Avalanche hosting the Vancouver Canucks in what was supposed to be a mismatch. The Avs are the top team in the league. The Canucks, well, not so much. Bottom of the league, first team eliminated from playoff contention. A cakewalk, right?
