After a serious drubbing at the hands of the Red Wings, the Avalanche must be feeling pretty sorry for themselves. I can’t remember seeing mr. roy looking that bad. Ever.

But more than anything, that game illustrated why Carolina has no chance at winning the cup. In Game 6 against Toronto, Carolina was dominating in the third, until they scored, then they changed their style of play, and Toronto dominated them, culminating in a last minute goal. Anyway, if they pull that kind of crap with Detroit, they won’t be lucky enough to make it to OT (IMHO) Detroit has that killer instinct - when they were up 4-0 early, did they let up? Did they allow a very talented Avalanche team to come back? No, they didn’t. They continued to dominate the play, at least until I stopped watching at 6-0.

Carolina might win one or two (hell they might even win three) but Detroit will not be beaten four times by Carolina.

So, basically I’m picking Detroit [Gasp!]

Pretty depressing that this year, there have been two upsets in the playoffs (Montreal and Ottawa in the first round). That’s got to be way below average…

I ordered some games online over the weekend, they look like fun, and they were quite cheap. You might even call them cheapass (don’t worry, that’s the name of the games company that I bought them from).
