Rockies Are Eager for BJs

The Colorado Rockies are in the Conference Final for the second year in a row. Tim Hunter is confident the team has learned from their loss to the Maple Leafs last season and are ready to show-up on the Big Stage this time 'round.

The team will face its first bit of adversity in these play-offs, as their Top D and leading play-off scorer, Radek Martinek, has been suspended for 2 games for his brutal hit-from-behind in the last game of the Oilers series.

In his place, D Nick Schultz will be seeing his first action of the post-season. On a better note, the Rockies top C, Jakub Klepis, is back from his injury and will draw back into the line-up. As a result, Michael Backlund will likely see a little less ice-tim 5-on-5, but he was practicing on the point for power-play at practice today, taking Martinek's spot with the extra-man.

For the Colorado Complainer, this has been Nathan Livingston.
