"And the Bruins are out here in Colorado"

Great announcing, once you realize that the Avalanche play in Colorado you should be golden! On that note, I'm so glad I didn't watch that game. 8-2 final for a 4-0 series win and a giant spanking by Detroit on the Avalanche. It appears that the Avalanche/Red Wings bitter rivalry of the past remains a thing of the past. Franzen was unbelievable: 9 goals in 4 games, 11 in the playoffs so far! 27 goals in 72 regular season games, now 11 in 10 games, on that note: he also has 26 in the last 26 dating back to the regular season. Fantabulous!

On a personal note: I have never met you, but Joe Sakic, PLEASE don't retire. You and Steve Yzerman are my two favourite players of all time, and it would be so sad to see you go too. I think you still have a season or two in you and I hope you consider playing again. If you do decide to go, congratulations on all your success! Two Stanley Cup rings (1996, 2001), CHL Player of the year (1988), Conn Smythe (1996), Lester B. Pearson (2001), Hart (2001), Lady Byng (2001), NHL Plus/Minus Award (2001), M.A.C. Award (1998), NHL All-Star MVP (2004), NHL First Team All-Star (2001, 2002, 2004), Olympics MVP (2002), Olympics All-Star Team (2002), Olympics Gold (2002), World Cup of Hockey Gold (2004), World Juniors Gold (1988), World Championships Gold (1994), the list goes on and on. 623 goals, 1006 assists in the regular season, 84 goals, 104 assists in the playoffs including the record for most overtime goals in the playoffs. Joe Sakic: you are the man, and I hope to see you on the ice again next year. Much love.

Okay, I'm done praising Joe for now, onto the Rangers/Pens, Jagr with a pair and the Rangers with a 3-0 win to stay alive. Malkin: your penalty shot was a joke and you should be ashamed. That's all I really have to say about this game. Pens better take Game 5 or it's going to be a series.

Peace and much love to you.
