When look at sports, and what they're really about is of course competition. However it also provides real drama. Watching underdog stories, or seeing long standing records get smashed are what makes sports special. As a sports fan you can't help but love what the Colorado Avalanche are doing this year in the playoffs.
This post is going to be short, and sweet. The Colorado Avalanche, as an 8 seed, have taken the top seeded Nashville Predators to a 6th game. Now on the surface that might not seem like a huge deal, but the fact they have done it without their top goalie, and top defenseman is extremely impressive. What makes it even more impressive is they won a game 5 in Nashville with their 3RD STRING GOALIE between the pipes. It's an absolute feel good story, and you can't help but get behind this team as they go into game 6 tonight in Denver. All the pressure in on Nashville, and any team that has the deck stacked against them, that is playing for survival the way the Avalanche are makes them a dangerous team. This post will provide no insight to the game, nor will it give you any information you didn't have before. This post is strictly a GO AVALANCHE post, and here's to hoping that this team of young players, that have out played the top seeded Predators in every game can keep it going tonight. It would be an amazing story if a team with their 3rd string goalie can take a top seed to game 7, never mind if they some how can pull out a series win. My hope is they continue to out skate, and out work this predator team, and they give us a game 7 later this week! LET'S GO AVALANCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
