Rematches are often overrated. Not since the days of Mohammed Ali and Joe Frazier has a rematch between two athletes or teams truly lived up to the hype. Maybe the USA versus Canada Womens’ hockey rematch during the Olympics. And, the 2003 and 2004 ALCS between the Red Sox and Yankees. Tomorrow, the Nashville Predators face the Colorado Avalanche is a rematch of the opening round of the 2018 playoffs.
After a solid start, the Avalanche have lost four of their last five, including an OT loss. They are 7-4-3 on the season, but 3-1-1 at the Pepsi Center.
