That’s right folks, your Colorado Avalanche just did the impossible and beat the San Jose Sharks 2-1 in San Jose for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Just like at the start of the regular season, “pundits” didn’t predict much out of the Avs, and they have started to prove everyone wrong, again.
This year’s postseason, playoff hockey is sure to be a great battle for Lord Stanley’s cup. You have the Washington Capitals dominating the East, and the San Jose Sharks atop of the West. Predictions from the “experts” are pouring in left and right and suddenly it feels like we’re back at the beginning of this year’s season – with everyone ragging on the Colorado Avalanche.
I want to take the time to apologize to the New York Islanders franchise for discrediting their talent this season. Often struggling over the years, even trading away Bill Guerin last season so he could win a cup, I constantly chalked the losing streak up to lack of talented players and a goal tender lineup that was far from desirable. While you’ve had your fair share of losing in the past, New York, you have proven me wrong recently.
The Colorado Avalanche were enjoying the weather in San Jose today as they faced the Sharks. The teams seemed evenly matched, though the Sharks outshot the Avs 12 to 5 in the first period.
