Villainess Review: Yvette Ellison (Elementary)
Elementary was, and is, an amazing series. I was drawn in quickly due to the fact that it was a modern retelling of Sherlock Holmes, and I ended up enjoying seven amazing seasons of this spectacular show. Among the many things I enjoyed about the show was its collection of villainesses, coming in all forms and all kinds. Every collection has a beginning, and in the case of Elementary, it was the second-ever episode, "While You Were Sleeping," that kicked things off.

Game Five: Lightning Strikes in the Same Place Twice
Those who say lightning never strikes in the same place twice...they haven't watched the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning only needed Ross Colton's 2nd period goal, and Andrei Vasilevskiy being a brick wall yet again to capture their third Stanley Cup in franchise history, and their second straight. Vasilevskiy captured the Conn Smythe Trophy, and it was definitely earned. His numbers in this year's playoffs: 16-7, five shutouts (three of them in the Stanley Cup Semifinals and Final), a .930 save percentage, and a GAA of 1.90. WOW! That's supernatural goaltending!

Game One: Chris Paul, Welcome to the Finals
This year's NBA Finals had to be, without question, the most anticipated in a long time. The reason: it's a completely different Finals this year. For a decade, NBA fans were accustomed to seeing LeBron James and/or Stephen Curry in the Finals. The two megastars actually faced each other four straight times between 2015 and 2018, leaving many NBA fans (myself included) immensely jaded. The NBA's lack of parity even led some fans to believe that the Finals was predetermined, but this year, it's totally different.

Game Four: Brooms Broken
The Tampa Bay Lightning entered this game knowing that a win would give them their second straight Stanley Cup. Their game plan was to dominate and take this game so they can hoist the Cup once again. While the Stanley Cup was at the Bell Center, however, the hometown Montréal Canadiens had other plans. The game did not start well for the Habs, as it was all Lightning when it came to shots on goal. Despite this, it remained scoreless until Josh Anderson's wrister beat Andrei Vasilevskiy 15:39 into the first period, and for the first time in the entire series, the Canadiens had the lead.

Villainess Review: Pamela Shankle (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries)
One of the cornerstones of Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is the Aurora Teagarden film series, which I absolutely adore! For one, the films are based on the series of novels written by Charlaine Harris, who also gave us the Sookie Stackhouse novels that led to HBO's True Blood TV series. Secondly, the film series features Candace Cameron Bure as the titular Aurora Teagarden, and boasts a regular cast that consists of Niall Matter, Lexa Doig, and Marilu Henner. And a third reason why I love the series: it's an outright villainess magnet--with 13 villainesses appearing in the number of films that have aired since 2015.

Game Three: One Win Away
June 9, 1993. The Montréal Canadiens defeat the Los Angeles Kings by a score of 4-1 in Game Five of the Stanley Cup Final, earning them their NHL-record 24th Stanley Cup. Not only did that day mark the last time a Canadian franchise won the Stanley Cup, but it was also the last time a Stanley Cup Final game was played in Montréal, until Game Three of this year's affair. For the first time in this year's playoffs, the Canadiens' backs were up against the wall. With no answer for Andrei Vasilevskiy, the Canadiens find themselves in a 2-0 hole for the first time in this year's playoffs, and they were looking to bounce back in front of their home crowd.

A Sister's Worst Fear
"I don't know, honey. Do you really think it's a good idea?" The words uttered by Sandra Hoffman to her husband, Gary Hoffman, involved someone very important to both of them: their nine-year-old daughter, Scarlett. A month prior, Sandra was nearly run off the road and badly injured, prompting Gary to hire a caregiver, Julia Simms, to not only take care of Scarlett, but also help Sandra heal. Their conversation centered on finding a replacement for Julia, who suddenly disappeared three days ago, and regarding Sandra's concerned statements, Gary gave this response:

Game Two: Vasilevskiy Takes Over
Game Two of this year's Stanley Cup Final was a milestone: it was the final NHL game for the NBC Sports Network, known to us puckheads as NBCSN. This year's Stanley Cup Final will mark the end of NBC's relationship with the NHL, which began in the 2005-06 season--the first season back from a season crippling lockout. The coverage included games on what was then known as the Outdoor Life Network (OLN), which later changed its name to Versus until converting to the NBC Sports Network on January 2, 2012. The cable channel aired games on Mondays and Tuesdays, and later added Wednesdays and Sundays as part of their schedule beginning in 2012. NBCSN also aired Stanley Cup Playoff games along with NBC's other networks, and always shared coverage of the Stanley Cup Final with NBC, who will air the rest of the Final from this point on.

Reviewing Melina's Recent Heel Turn in NWA
I've been watching NWA Powerrr, the National Wrestling Alliance's regular series, since its debut, and the main reason, of course, is Melina. Best known for her six years in WWE, Melina debuted as a villainess on a November 2019 episode of NWA Powerrr, emerging as the heel manager for Thunder Rosa and Marti Belle, with the former going on to capture the NWA Women's World Championship in January 2020. Tensions began to be teased between Melina and Rosa due to the latter's budding face turn, but we wouldn't see any developments due to the incoming and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affecting NWA (among many other wrestling promotions).

Game One: Defending Champs Win Big
I absolutely love the Stanley Cup Final, no matter who is in it. My reasons are many, but among them is the prestige of the event. While I always know that the Stanley Cup Final means the end of another hockey season, it is a spectacular end. It is the end result of a long and grueling season played out by 31 teams (32 starting next season), with only two left standing facing each other in a best-of-seven series to determine who will hoist Lord Stanley's Cup. After all was said and done, the two teams left standing were the Tampa Bay Lightning (the defending Stanley Cup Champions) and the Montréal Canadiens, who are actually in the same division.

Reviewing a Pair of Villainesses from "Picture Perfect Lies"
After a very thrilling wave of true crime films, Lifetime returned to the usual thrillers with this film, Picture Perfect Lies, which centered on Rachel Collins, who was celebrating her 16th birthday with her parents, Angela and Spencer Collins. Among the people celebrating along with the family is Rachel's aunt, Jenny Burkett, who is shown displaying a downtrodden demeanor, but sadly, the party ends on a tragic note, as Jenny is found in the pool...deceased.

What Went Wrong: One Game
The Tampa Bay Lightning and the New York Islanders played a very thrilling and very captivating seven game Stanley Cup Semifinal series. It was close, nail-biting, and productive in many, many ways, but when the dust finally settled, it was the Lightning who emerged victorious. For the Islanders, this marked the second straight year that they were ousted by the Lightning in Round 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but it took everything the Bolts had to defeat the Islanders.
