By: Gabriela Yareliz NYC has felt the influx of people for the World Cup. I have seen large clusters of Brazilians, Algerians, French, and Colombian visitors. I have been listening to Saoko on repeat. It’s all about change and transformation, after all. Some of the moments collected in the week (culturally and personally): The TkachuksContinue reading “Saoko”

This Week’s Favorites 06.19.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz The week is coming to an end. Nothing like a Friday. I continued my The Core 21-day challenge, and I am getting ready to go on a solid morning walk before the sun starts roasting us. I am excited to start Sarah Dessen’s new book! Spent some time starting to deep cleanContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 06.19.26”
Hockey’s Latest
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hockey news! John Tortorella is out for VGK (an unfortunate move given that he took a team that was out of the playoffs and took them to the Stanley Cup final). I hope a good team snatches him up. In happier news, Peter LaViolette was hired as head coach for the LAContinue reading “Hockey’s Latest”
Game Six (Category 5)
The Carolina Hurricanes reached category five, and they swept the VGK with no mercy. By: Gabriela Yareliz We all underestimated them, but they came ready to grind like a good Southern team. The tarp was off, last night. Yesterday’s win was not luck or circumstance. It was pure grit and systematic grind. Game six endedContinue reading “Game Six (Category 5)”
Game Five
Something was bigger than PK Subban’s hat. By: Gabriela Yareliz PK Subban showed up in a hat that made Messier look like an angry park ranger. But to me, there was a moment that meant more in the game. Listen— Carolina is in it to win it. I was wrong. So far, they are showingContinue reading “Game Five”
Game Four
This is a shallow report… brace yourself. By: Gabriela Yareliz Listen, we can talk about how Carolina brought game. They beat the VGK with the Staal goal and the wild Ehlers empty-netter from the other side’s boards. Rod Brind’Amour was wide-eyed, and Dominique Ducharme for VGK, with the white hair and beard, had crazy eyesContinue reading “Game Four”
Game Three
“No lead is safe.” By: Gabriela Yareliz ‘Chaos’ was the main word used to describe game three. There was a bizarre ‘Welcome to Vegas’ Cirque du Soleil situation at the beginning, a moving National Anthem, and the game began. It was a total snooze fest until the last half of the second period, where theContinue reading “Game Three”
The Indomitable Torts
By: Gabriela Yareliz He is brutally honest. He has been known to speak to the opposing team and coach, his own team, the refs, and the media with the same tone. He has racked up more than $500k in disciplinary fines over the span of his career. In the past, he has told the mediaContinue reading “The Indomitable Torts”
Stanley Cup Playoffs Season Is In Full Swing
By: Gabriela Yareliz Is it bad that when I saw this I was excited? I am excited for the Ducks (did anyone else grow up watching The Mighty Ducks) and as. Florida Panthers fan, let’s be real— did I want to see Edmonton win a Stanley Cup? Of course not. I think Connor McDavid isContinue reading “Stanley Cup Playoffs Season Is In Full Swing”
2,000 Games for PoMo
Congratulations to Coach Paul Maurice! Two thousand games! This is an icon that has so much of my admiration. I dare say— the coolest person in the NHL. Many say he is the biggest motivator they ever met. I post his tribute here. May it remind us all to relentlessly pursue our dreams, to elevateContinue reading “2,000 Games for PoMo”
