CEDAvsFan

The Lifetime movie fan in me tells me that the woman had no relation to the child and probably kidnapped that toddler. But that's the Lifetime fan in me talking. Something's definitely up with that woman. If she is related to that toddler, then she is just hideously negligent. Either way, that woman, honestly, should be arrested.

The NHL's Western Conference Final got underway, and this year, it's the Dallas Stars against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers' road to this point saw them defeat the Los Angeles Kings in Round 1, and the Vancouver Canucks in Round 2. As for the Stars, they defeated the Vegas Golden Knights in Round 1, and the Colorado Avalanche in Round 2. As an Avs fan, I was disappointed over the ousting, but when this Conference Final was made official, it wasn't hard for me to decide who I would pull for to win this series: Dallas. Just by saying that, I am fully aware that I'm violating all sorts of codes here--the main one being that we are not supposed to root for our division rivals to do anything other than get a kick in the a**. Another code is that fans of teams who get eliminated do not pull for the teams who eliminated them, but with me, that depends on who it is. Division rivalries are intense in every sport, especially hockey. Nearly every fan is pretty much brought up to hate division rivals. The picture above features the logo of all eight teams in the NHL's Central Division, including the team I'm a fan of, the Colorado Avalanche. However, my stances on our seven rivals are quite interesting. Here are my true honest feelings about our seven division rivals: Dallas Stars: Never hated them, even in spite of them beating us in the Conference Final in 1999 and 2000. They did give me a few reasons this year, but there are still some teams who deserve more hate than the Stars. Utah (the former Arizona Coyotes): I feel sorry for that team, especially with the relocation bullsh*t going on with them. They've been trying to keep things afloat in recent years, but now the team's moving from Arizona to Utah. Plus, the team's only been our division rivals for three years, and nothing's really developed. So yeah, definitely no reason to hate the former Coyotes. Chicago Blackhawks: Used to respect that team until the story involving poor Kyle Beach came out. Since then it's been sh*tshow after sh*tshow with them. Can't stand them, but at the current moment, I don't have to worry about them. Minnesota Wild: HATE THEM. They are our longest tenured division rivals. Avs and Wild were in the old Northwest Division together from 2000-2013, and have been in the Central Division together since the 2013-14 season. Even in the COVID-affected 2020-21 season, the Avs and Wild were in the localized West Division together. We can't get away from the Wild LOL! At the moment, we never have to worry about the Wild, because they have sucked in the last few years, but even so, can't stand them. I respect them, but can't stand them. Nashville Predators: Used to hate them, but that's decreased a bit. They've become quite fun to watch, and I was happy for them for making the playoffs with a new coach this year St. Louis Blues: DESPISE THEM since the 2022 playoffs. I used to like that team and feel for them because they couldn't win. I was happy for them when they did win in 2019. Ever since their fans sent racist death threats to Nazem Kadri, all of my respect for them went out the window. Even NOW, Blues fans still believe that Kadri intentionally injured their goalie, Jordan Binnington, when it was actually Binnington's teammate who shoved Kadri into Binnington, and some of them even believe that they were "falsely" accused of being racist. Oh, and Binnington has a racist history, too. Oh boy. Yeah, f**k the Blues. Winnipeg Jets: I have a soft spot for Canada, so that keeps me from actually hating the Jets. They did frustrate us this season, but that never caused me to hate them. Back to the West Final. There are some teams who deserve more hate than even division rivals. The Golden Knights are definitely one team, and the Oilers are another. Here's the thing, though. It's only because the Oilers fan base consists of delusional and arrogant asshats that I'm actually pulling for Dallas in this series. That's all. I've never had Stars fans come at me and pound their chests when they shouldn't. Oilers fans trashed me because I told them that they're ruining Connor McDavid's career. All I did was tell the truth, and they couldn't handle it. So yeah, I hope Oilers fans end up crying in the car after this year's West Final.

https://nypost.com/2024/05/23/us-news/gov-kristi-noem-now-banned-from-all-south-dakota-tribal-lands/ Not enough. Ban her racist, dog-killing a** from the entire country! Kristi Noem is a disgusting c**t! Kick her a** out!

Holy mackerel!!! That's one hell of a troll job! Sounds like a cross between Punk'd and jacka*s LOL!

Yeah, that's going to be interesting. Would love to see some sort of explanation.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! All of the characters are fabulous! Brandy back as Cinderella, very awesome! And then there's Rita Ora looking so fierce as the Queen of Hearts, and she cackles as well--DELICIOUS!!!

https://www.cbssports.com/wwe/news/wwe-summerslam-2026-upgrades-to-two-night-event-in-minneapolis/ This is BIG news! Ever since WrestleMania permanently became a two-night event, I've said that they should do the same for SummerSlam. Honestly, I think all of the big four events (WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble) should be two-night events, so this really is a big step for WWE.

Yeah, that's a glaring problem; people using a method meant to decrease bigotry as an excuse to become even more bigoted. It's a sad state of affairs.

One of these days, I need to watch that show. It looks very interesting

Yeah, it's a total gyp that we have to wait this long for two amazing shows.

Still can't believe the Knicks lost that series. They should have walked all over Indy.

https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/1732698-nurse-jackie-sequel-series-finds-new-streaming-home This is excellent news for a show I've heard a lot of good things about. I sense the sequel series should be a good one.

https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/1732742-brothers-josh-brolin-and-peter-dinklage-led-action-comedy-sets-streaming-release-date I love this! Basically, it's this generation's equivalent of Twins! This looks like a good film with an absolutely stellar cast!

Very excited for this spinoff! It should be a good one!

Hot take: it's only the White ones getting that sugar-coated description. Watch POCs still get called "offenders." This is a plot to make White criminals look sympathetic, while still denigrating POCs and the LGBT community.

I heard about this, and the first thing I thought of was Rick Moranis, who was also punched like this in NYC.

https://tvline.com/news/walker-cancelled-season-5-the-cw-1235202749/ I fell behind this show early in Season 3, but even then, I had a bad feeling that it would get axed. They were quite lucky to get a fourth season. This is yet another show with some representation getting an early axing. The trend never ends SMH.

https://tvline.com/casting-news/night-court-india-de-beaufort-leaving-olivia-season-3-cast-nbc-1235244737/ This is a shocker for sure! I loved India de Beaufort as Olivia; she was basically a female Dan Fielding. I wonder who will fill that void in Season 3.

This is very epic casting news. Cillian Murphy NEEDS to be in this sequel!

Damn peeping toms. They need to be locked up for as long as possible.

I'm very excited for this! I hope my cable provider will have it!

Donald Trump: "I'm very very rich" Also Trump: "I need your money to save my a**" Donald Trump: "Migrants commit crimes and leech off us" Also Trump: "I need your money to help me avoid jail for the crimes I committed" And yet people blindly support this guy, KNOWING what he's about. I already said my thoughts about this year's election. It's the rematch nobody wanted. Neither choice is that good, but I also said that Joe Biden is clearly the lesser of the two evils. This sh*t further proves me right. Trump's f**ked beyond recognition, yet he and his family are literally begging for us, the citizens of America, to foot the bill for his legal sh*t. He can't be f**king serious. Now, the last thing I am is political, but I severely doubt that any other presidential candidate literally beg for handouts like Trump's doing. He's supposed to be "very very rich," right? Pay for it yourself and stop trying to take money from citizens. Seriously, the Trumps are who racists falsely believe the migrants are. You NEVER see migrants beg for handouts. Hell, the homeless don't beg half as much as the Trumps are doing. This is the same man who, in his 2016 campaign, denigrated immigrants and accused them of being criminals and leeches. Maybe he should look in the mirror. Trump's doing the exact same thing he accused immigrants of doing. Yet I'll bet money that some of his supporters will be stupid enough to donate to him, because as the late, great P.T. Barnum once said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

When the second round matchups were set in stone, one of them was a pivotal one for an entire nation. No, not this one. The one sitting above us. The series in the Pacific Division pitted the Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers, meaning that it's a guarantee that a Canadian team will be part of the NHL's Final Four this year. The series has reached seven games, and the role of "Last Canadian Team Standing" will be decided in that game. So, why is this vital? It's simple. The last time a Canadian franchise won the Stanley Cup, you have to go all the way back to 1993. That year, the Montréal Canadiens won their 24th Stanley Cup in franchise history. Since then, Canadian teams haven't had any luck in the playoffs. In fact, there have only been six instances where a Canadian franchise reached the Stanley Cup FInal: 1994 (Canucks--lost in seven), 2004 (Flames--lost in seven), 2006 (Oilers--lost in seven), 2007 (Senators--lost in five), 2011 (Canucks--lost in seven), and 2021 (Canadiens--lost in five). Fans of Canadian clubs have long believed that the commissioner, Gary Bettman, has a bias against Canadian teams, but that's really not the case. These teams just haven't been good or fortunate enough to win the whole thing. As I stated before, a Canadian team will be in the Final Four this year. It will be the third time in four years, and overall, it will be the fifth time in the last eight years that a Canadian club will be four wins away from reaching the Final. In a crazy twist of irony, the stretch began after a 2015-16 season that saw none of the NHL's seven Canadian franchises qualify for the playoffs--the first time that happened since the 1969-70 season, though back then, only the Maple Leafs and Canadiens represented Canada in the NHL--which had 12 teams at that time. In 2017, the Ottawa Senators reached the Eastern Conference Final, and came within a hair of advancing, being ousted in double overtime of Game Seven by the Pittsburgh Penguins. In 2018, it was the Winnipeg Jets reaching the Western Conference Final, only to run into the Vegas Golden Knights during that team's debut season. 2021 was the second of the two COVID-affected seasons that saw localized divisions, with one of them consisting of all seven Canadian teams. As a result, the first two rounds of that year's playoffs were purely division based, guaranteeing that a Canadian team would reach the third round. That year, it was the Canadiens, who actually ended up advancing to the Stanley Cup Final. In 2022, the Edmonton Oilers reached the Western Conference Final, only to be swept by the Colorado Avalanche. Now, for those of you who'd like to believe that the last Canadian team left would have support from the entire nation of fans...kill that belief right now. Canadian pride in hockey only exists in the Olympics and other forms of international play. When it comes to the Stanley Cup, it's every team and fanbase for themselves. Do Canadian fans want the Cup drought over? Yes. But they want their favorite team to do it. Leafs fans will not root for either Vancouver or Edmonton to win the whole thing. Neither will Senators and Canadiens fans. Flames fans would rather eat dirt than ever root for the Canucks and especially the Oilers. I've said many times that it's always fun when Canadian teams face each other in the playoffs. One reason is because of the heated pressure and rivalry between the teams and the fans. So yeah, the entire nation of Canada won't band together for the one team left in the playoffs. That's just not a thing. Either the Canucks or the Oilers will be the last Canadian team standing, and it'll be interesting to see if that attribute leads to the end of a 31 year drought.

Beaten like that on their home court with Spike Lee and Christopher Meloni (among other celebs) in attendance. Just awful. I was hoping the Knicks would go far.
