2012 Yelnats Cup Playoffs: Round 1, Day 1.

Hello simulated hockey fans! The moment you've waited for has arrived: Opening night of the 2012 Yelnats Cup playoffs! Tonight, I will watch one game and give a full recap of it and I will write the boxscores for the other featured game. Here's what's on tonight's menu:

The reason there are only two games is because the two teams that have a bye, Calgary and Buffalo, play tonight against the random teams I needed to put to make them advance. There will be 4 games tomorrow. For my viewing pleasure, I chose to watch Edmonton vs. Colorado because it's the more interesting matchup of the two for basically everyone who like the Wild and/or the Western Conference and/or hockey in general.

Follow me after the jump, the Yelnats Cup Playoffs are underway!
