Wings will face Avs
It'll be the Red Wings vs. Colorado Avalanche in round two. The Wings swept the Avs all four games during the regular season. But the Avs never faced the Wings with Joe Sakic (hernia), or Peter Forsberg or Adam Foote, both of whom were acquired at the trade deadline. Further Ryan Smyth and Paul Stasny, two other key Avs, missed a pair of games against the Wings each. This is a vastly different Avs team the Wings will face. And Avs goalie Jose Theodore is playing excellent in net. Should be an outstanding series.
