What Went Wrong: Derailed
The saddest part of this: it seemed almost inevitable. The Colorado Avalanche were coming off humilating the very goalie who will (most likely) win the Vezina Trophy this year, and we were in the catbird seat waiting for the dust to settle in the Dallas Stars/Vegas Golden Knights series. The momentum continued in Game One; a big time overtime win after trailing 3-0. The Avs lost Game Two, but we nearly pulled off another comeback. Even so, it was 1-1 heading home, but Game Three didn't go well for us. Despite this, we were still at home, and we had a chance to rectify things.

What Went Wrong: Hurricanes' Last Chance?
Losing sucks, but one thing I always praise is when a team doesn't go down without a fight. We saw this with the Carolina Hurricanes in their Metropolitan Division Final series against the New York Rangers. The Canes lost the first three games of the series, leading to the conclusion that the Rangers would literally sweep their way to the Eastern Conference Final. However, the Canes managed to break the brooms in Game Four, and really get to Igor Shesterkin in not only Games Four and Five, but Game Six as well. After winning those two games, the Canes had a 3-1 lead entering the third period, and that had fans thinking that the dreaded reverse sweep would happen.

The Evolution of Sports Telecasts
I am amazed and fascinated over how sports telecasts have changed and grown over the years, and it continues to evolve even at this advanced age. NBA, NHL, and MLB telecasts have all grown a lot, but this evolution is especially true when it comes to the NFL.

John Jay Lacrosse Improves to 6-0
On Thursday April 11, John Jay looked to continue their undefeated season versus Bronxville, and a 6-1 in the third had the Wolves on track. But two quick goals by the Broncos did raise a little doubt. So John Jay simply resumed the regular discourse that has gotten them to 5-0.

2024 Division Finals Preview
We have now arrived in the second round if this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Elite Eight. The Division Finals. The first round of any playoffs is always special, especially that very first game, because...well...that makes it real. The second round is amazing, because it's usually the last stop before things get really serious. The winners play for their respective conferences, with each series winner representing their respective divisions. This year's first round didn't give us any true upsets, as all of the Wild Cards were ousted, while only one third place team advanced.

Elegy of Cheaters and Rogues
At least you'll have WrestleMania, Vegas, because you're not getting another Stanley Cup. It's fitting that the Vegas Golden Knights suffered a first-round exit, because it was this fate that led me to start despising this team in the first place. We all remember this. In 2019, the Golden Knights, in their second year in play, were up 3-1 over the San Jose Sharks. Sharks won Games Five and Six, but in Game Seven, Vegas was up 3-0. Then Joe Pavelski's head was targeted. Five minute major. Four goals scored by the Sharks. Vegas tied it, but SJ won it in OT. The Knights fans bitched. The Knights themselves bitched. Over a rightfully called major penalty.

What Went Wrong: What Happens Now?
This was their best chance. Their best chance. When the Toronto Maple Leafs won a playoff series last year, their first in 19 years, I saw this as the beginning of good things happening for this team. Lord knows, they deserve good things. The second round fizzled for them, but hey, they made it there. They still had the talented players. To me, I saw a Leafs team that could go far.

Somers Drives Home 16-6 Victory Over Mahopac
On Friday April 12, Somers met Mahopac at home and scored twice in the first two minutes. But the early offensive outburst was not the most foretelling aspect of the 16-6 Somers victory. "Our riding was awesome today,” said Ryan Brush, and the overdrive went into gear right away.
