Rivalry Renewed

Tonight is game 1 between the Colorado Avalanche and the Detroit Red Wings. These teams haven't played each other in the post season in 6 years, after having met 5 times in the playoffs between 1996-2002. Needless to say I am VERY excited for this series despite the fact that we haven't beat Detroit all season. Our current team is vastly different with the additions of Peter Forsberg, Adam Foote, Ruslan Salei and a healthy Joe Sakic (who didn't play against Detroit all year due to injuries) and with Jose Theodore playing like a goalie possessed we've got all the makings for an upset. I'm predicting that the Avs will win the series in 6 games.

GO AVS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
