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”

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”
Game Two
By: Gabriela Yareliz Is Vegas still calm? #NoPanicVGK Yesterday, the Carolina Hurricanes flipped the tables on the Vegas Golden Knights. They spent the majority of game two at zero, and ten minutes before the end of regulation, they tied the game with the Golden Knights. You know what happens when it’s tied— you sigh andContinue reading “Game Two”
Game One
By: Gabriela Yareliz The Knights aren’t panicked. They are cool, calm, collected and winning. The Hurricanes and Knights battled it out yesterday in the Stanley Cup Final, game 1. It was such a fast-paced game filled with surprises. The scores crawled up the ladder for both teams, rendering them tied at many points in theContinue reading “Game One”
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”
