Hey Gorilla! So, a friend of Tom's? We'll all try to look past that and like you anyways!
By the way, Greetings in ZAX....
I hope Avs make it to the finals - they still don't seem to have the "spark" that they did last year - talentwise, they are the team to beat, but the one team that will be Colorado better than any other is Colorado (although I do think a Detroit/Colorado conference finals will result in Detroit going to the finals...their momentum is going to be hard to stop)....Of course, Colorado is really going to have to step up play, especially after last night - they look tired, Blake is hurt, and Nabakov is a true playoff goaltender (he's the reason they got this far....unfortunately, the stars not producing for the Shark's decided last night to break out of their funk also...)
East - I like Montreal or Ottowa in the finals....Montreal/Colorado would be an awesome matchup, especially for Roy and all Canadian hockey fans, each for their own reasons....I doubt Toronto can make it because CuJo is too inconsistent, nor can Carolina's goaltending match up to most of the remaining talent pool.
