I Love the Avs

Most of you that know me are aware they hockey is my favorite sport, and at the Avs are my favorite team. The Avs made it to the second round with a 4-2 series win over the Minnesota Wild in the first round, ending in three straight wins. With all of the talk about how the Wild's defense was too much for Colorado, they only lead for 4 minutes, 31 seconds out of a possible 384:23. The Avs did much more then just hold their own.

Sweet! Now the Avs face the Red Wings in a series which contains a lot of history. Despite what some may think, I'm happy we get to play Detroit. I don't feel that the Avs should shy away from a challenge that is the Red Wings nor do they need to. The Avs are at the top of their game and their goalie, Jose Theodore, is playing out of his mind. Theodore is easily the best goalie in the playoff and a large reason the Avs made it to the second round. I also feel that a Avs-Red Wings series would get better TV rating (which we all know hockey needs).

Either way, it has been decided. Go Avs!!
