Forsberg is the Key for Avs

Peter Forsberg is the key to the Avalanche beating the Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference Semi-Finals. Detroit has enjoyed playing the Avs this season going 4-0 against them while outscoring Colorado 11-2. However all of these games were played before Forsberg even signed a deal that brought him back to the mile high city. Even though he has been sidelined with a groin injury and probably needs more rest than any other player in the game, the Avs were 8-1 with him in the lineup in the regular season and 4-2 against Minnesota where he had a goal and 4 helpers in the 6 games. We'll see if Forsberg and company can get some rubber behind the tandem of old goalies and overcome the Presidents Trophy winners to advance to the next round.
