112th Grey Cup Playoffs: Division Finals Recap
I've said this many times before, but I do love the last round before the final round in any sport, because when it gets to that round, things have become very real. In the NHL and NBA, it's the conference finals. In MLB, it's the League Championship Series. In the NFL, it's the Conference Championship, but north of the border in the Canadian Football League, it's the Division Finals. This year's Division Finals was interesting. Three of the four teams had long droughts and were looking to end them. A trip to Winnipeg was on the line for all four teams, and here's what took pace on Division Finals Saturday:

Villainess Blown Opportunity: Louise Rodanthe Should Have Become a Werewolf (Moon of the Wolf)
When it comes to villainesses, I'm always thinking. I think of the ones I see, the ones I hope to see, and especially the ones we should have seen. Whether it's different characters or portrayed heroines who had the opportunity to cross that line and become villainesses, I'm always thinking that we could have seen some deliciously evil women in certain settings. I've written about a few blown opportunities here on Vocal, and number of them on Reddit, and I do have some others in mind. One such idea was one I wrote on Reddit a year and half ago, and it centers on the 1972 horror film, Moon of the Wolf.

3rd Time's the Charm
Who here had Tuesday's battle between the Colorado Avalanche and the Anaheim Ducks as a battle between first place teams? The Avs leading the Central this early is no shock; a lot of the players on this team have "been there, done that" for the last few years. The Ducks, however, are another story. Anaheim hasn't experienced the playoffs since 2018. Think about how long ago that was. The Vegas Golden Knights debuted that year, and the Avs reached the playoffs in Game 82, starting our current playoff streak. Yet lo and behold, here are the Ducks, sitting on top of the Pacific Division.

Boston Baked Betrayal: A Look at Nikki Bella's Villainous Turn. Top Story - November 2025.
The November 10, 2025 edition of Monday Night Raw will forever be remembered as one of the most magical Raws in WWE history. It started off on a magical note already. John Cena, for the first time in his storied and iconic career, finally... finally captured the Intercontinental Championship. He did it! He completed the Grand Slam, joining the prestigious list that includes Edge, Jeff Hardy, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, and someone who we are still mourning 20 years later, Eddie Guerrero. Raw kicked off with something that I had been waiting at least a decade for.

NFL Week 10 Recap: Northern Exposure
When the Green Bay Packers lost in Week 9, we were knocked of the top spot in the NFC, but we still led the division because the Lions lost. However, a look at Week 10's schedule left me cold. The Bears were at home against the Giants. Yikes. The Lions were on the road against the Commanders, which would have made me feel better... if Jayden Daniels wasn't sidelined. The Vikings hosted the Ravens. That was the only one of the three I had confidence in. As for us, we would end the week hosting the defending champs.

At Long Last, Cena Wins #1
I'm a very patient person. I have the patience of a saint. I waited 15 years for a pennant, 21 years for a Stanley Cup, and my entire life for a Yankees/Dodgers World Series, and got all three. Another thing I waited for: John Cena to become Intercontinental Champion. I had been pulling for this to happen for about 10 years. I knew time would run out and Cena would finally and officially begin the process of retiring. When the announcement was made that 2025 would be it, the hope I had for this became pleas.

You Can't Spell "Dominate" Without "Nate"
Days after a close home win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Colorado Avalanche went across the border into Western Canada for a pair of games in as many days. First off, facing the Oilers in Edmonton. That is always an exciting affair. We all know the centerpiece in that game: MacKinnon vs McDavid. Two teams who played in three of the last four Cup Finals. This was going to be an epic matchup.

It's Like 2022 Never Ended
Coming off a two game Pacific Division road trip, the Colorado Avalanche returned home to Ball Arena for a Tuesday night game on TNT. Our opponents? A team very near and dear to us: the Tampa Bay Lightning. Three full seasons have passed since that magical Cup Final; the Avs facing the Bolts in a true clash of heavyweight titans. Lightning were looking to win their third straight Stanley Cup, but instead, it was the Avs winning Cup #3 overall--a six-game victory. In the time that has passed, the Avs have only advanced once, but that's one more than the Lightning, who haven't won a playoff series since the 2022 Eastern Conference Final.

This past Saturday began the month November, and there was a lot going on in Canada. For one, the MLB season came to an end with Game Seven of the World Series in Toronto, and the earlier hours of November 1, 2025 saw the beginning of the 112th Grey Cup Playoffs, which will end in Winnipeg with the Grey Cup Championship. Speaking of Winnipeg, that's who kicked off this year's playoff, as they were the CFL's first crossover team in six years, and they were in Montréal, Quebec against the Alouettes in the Eastern Semifinal.
