Weekend 6 Pack – Playoffs, Players & Drama

Happy Friday Everyone! I had no intentions to write a W6P this week, but was inspired by the happenings of the past few days. It’s a little playoff-focused and has some rants, but hope you enjoy it as you kick off your weekend. Playoffs, yes we’re talking about playoffs! With the NBA and NHL Playoffs…

NHL Playoff Predictions

I’m always one to make predictions when playoffs take place, but often don’t take the time to document them. The current NBA postseason is a perfect example – just ask the people I told my thoughts to! I’m looking forward to watching the puck drop tonight in what should be an exciting end to the…
