OK, Oilers, you made it to the playoffs. So how will you fuck it up this time? I want to explain something about myself as a hockey fan. I don't hate the Edmonton Oilers. I'm a fan of Connor McDavid. However, I absolutely despise Oilers fans.

Baseball slideshow Video Baseball Team Hopes to Forge Success out of Last Season’s Heartbreak Last year, John Jay ended their season with three exciting games versus Panas.

Rich MonettiPublished 13 days ago in UnbalancedLightning Clinch, but Has Their Window Closed?
Similar to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Tampa Bay Lightning were idol on Friday, but could clinch a playoff spot. The one difference, albeit a small one, was that while Toronto needed only two of the following three teams--Detroit, Philly, and Washington, to lose, and regulation wouldn't be mandated in some cases, Tampa Bay needed all three teams to lose in regulation, because the Eastern Conference's Wild Card picture is so muddled.
Clyde E. DawkinsPublished 13 days ago in UnbalancedWhat Will the Toronto Maple Leafs Do for an Encore?
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had chances to clinch this season, but came up short. Their latest attempt was on Wednesday, when all they needed was a point, but the Tampa Bay Lightning won, 3-1. The Leafs were idle on this night, but they could clinch with help from outside. Basically, they needed any two of the three teams to lose: the Detroit Red Wings, the Philadelphia Flyers, and the Washington Capitals. All three did end up losing, and in regulation, too. The Flyers lost first, and Detroit fell second, and that ended up being enough to send the Leafs back to the playoffs.

A packed Thursday night of NHL action only saw one team with the opportunity to lock up a playoff spot. That team was the Winnipeg Jets, and their destiny was in full control. A win would do it. If not, just one point and the Blues losing would get it done. Or a Blues regulation loss and a Wild loss would also get the job done. The schedule was interesting, as there were Eastern Conference games and Western Conference games, and and the three games connected to the scenario all played at the same time: Flames @ Jets, Avalanche @ Wild, and Blues @ Predators.

Boy, do I hate the Minnesota Wild. I mean, you can't blame me for hating the Wild. After all, they are the Colorado Avalanche's longest tenured division rival. No lie there, folks. While the Battle of Quebec (Nordiques/Canadiens) only lasted 16 years, and was a division rivalry for only 14 of those years, the Wild and the Avalanche have been division rivals since 2000. Whether it's the Northwest Division, the current Central Division, or even the localized West Division from the COVID-affected 2020-21 season, we just can't get away from the Minnesota Wild.
