Wings to face Colorado in round two
The Detroit Red Wings will take on the Colorado Avalanche in round two in what might be a rekindling of the rivalry (especially now that Forsberg, Foote, and McCarty have returned to their former teams). The first two games of the series will be, unofficially, Thursday and Saturday at Joe Louis Arena.
I’ll be sure to update this post once the official schedule is released.
Update - 4/23: Thanks to Joe’s comment below, here is the full schedule.
1 Thu Apr 24, 7:30 pm, at Detroit, VERSUS
2 Sat Apr 26, 3 pm, at Detroit, NBC
3 Tue Apr 29, 10 pm, at Colorado, VERSUS
4 Thu May 1, 10 pm, at Colorado, VERSUS
5 Sat May 3, 1 pm, at Detroit, NBC
6 Mon May 5, 10 pm, at Colorado, VERSUS
7 Wed May 7, TBD, at Detroit
(All games on TSN)
The 1pm start for Game #5 is a killer time. The Wings never seem to play well in the uber early afternoon and for Colorado, that’s like playing at 11am! And the teams have a couple days off between Game #2 and Game #3. Not too shabby.

And a helpful hint to the Web team in Toronto/NYC: you know, the fans who don’t know about http://www.stanleycupplayoffs2008.com might want to know about the schedule too, you troglodytes.

BTW: The reason for that bizarre 1:00 p.m. start is the NBC coverage of the Kentucky Derby that starts at 4:00 p.m. ET. So if it looks like overtime (and you don’t live in Detroit or Denver), best to grab those cable listings to see where Versus resides (if you get it at all).
