Well, Rachelle warned you all that more sports posts were coming. And she was right. After last night I have learned that my beloved Avalanche will be playing the Detroit Red Wings in the second round of the NHL playoffs, thus rekindling the best rivalry in sports. The Avs looked solid in knocking off Minnesota in round 1 while the Wings stumbled a bit against Nashville, but look to be back on track. This should be an epic series. Both teams currently feature goalies who are playing very well, forwards who are skilled and can score, and defenseman who are big and physical. I predict Avs in 6 but will see how it turns out. Game 1 is tomorrow night. In other news, Rachelle's Spurs look very good. The jazz look like they should advance without troubles, and my Lakers look to take command of their series tonight. And on the diamond, my Cubs are on fire.
Since I normally do this every year but haven't done so yet, here are my picks for the NHl and NBA playoffs as well as MLB regular season.

PS. Due to some recent comments made on one of our previous posts (complaining of too much sports on this blog), I will now be taking requests for future posts. So if there's something you're wanting to know about us. Or there's just something you think it'd be funny to hear about, leave me a comment and I'll see what i can do for you. (I must caution, this offer is good for Chris, but I cannot vouch for Rachelle and whether or not she'll cooperate)
