Well, With the NHL season ending today, its time to get ready for the playoffs!
First round for the Colorado Avalanche will be against its Northwest Division rivals, the Minnesota Wild.
Minnesota, coached by Jacque Lemaire, plays a unique brand of hockey. Basically it is designed around minimizing opportunities for the opposing team. Which can make for some very ugly hockey. New Jersey ran this system when they won their cup.
While I am dissapointed about the Sabres this year. Congrats to my friends back east who are Caps fans. That was an amazing run not only to make the playoffs but to win the division.
Should be an interesting playoffs to the cup. Detroit and San Jose have looked really tough out west.
Starts this week. Should be fun!
