Cruising the Atlantic Division
The Colorado Avalanche's long seven-game homestand started well, but ended very rocky (no pun intended). We dominated our first two games, but the next five were very messy.

A Look Back: Rey Mysterio's Road to WrestleMania 22
Without question, the Royal Rumble is my all-time favorite event. You would think I'd say WrestleMania, but the Rumble is where it's at. The Royal Rumble Match has all of the chaos of the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs, and it's all rolled up into an hour-long match.

Hard to believe that we are at Year Nine of the Women's Royal Rumble, when once upon a time, something like that was just a pipe dream.
