Avalanche defense Steve Yzerman appears determined, more than ever, to win the Stanley Cup and, according to Al Morganti, has some lofty backing. Sure, he picked Philadelphia to sweep Florida, said Chicago could outmuscle Colorado and thought the Wings would toast St. Louis. His insights were interesting and many, other than those mentioned above, were right on. He has been dreadful against the Wings this year. Yeah, but he was awful against Philly all those years but he beat them the time they met in the playoffs back in 1989.
Playoffs are totally different than the regular season.
Just look at that one playoff year. He had two shutouts, and in six games the Flyers scored just eight goals. But he's 7 years older now. No, I think he's got a lot to prove there. This is the series Colorado got him for.
