The aura of MLB Opening Day has hardly worn off, but with an entire summer of baseball ahead, I want to show North America's other pastime some love. For NHL fans, April is a glorious month of sporting spectacle, including last-gasp playoff pushes, award debates and seemingly 'round-the-clock coverage of postseason play. So, ladies and gents, lace up your skates, throw on your hockey sweaters - even if it is 70 degrees outside - and allow me to walk you through the first round, best-of-seven matchups of the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

"Andy Bernard does not lose contests. He wins them, or he quits them because they are unfair." Unfortunately, these timeless words of 'Nard Dog wisdom don't apply to my intramural experience at U.Va. For starters, my intramural teams lose - a lot. Since first year, I've had my salad tossed in almost every IM sport imaginable - to the tune of a 2-21 overall record, in fact. Getting slaughtered 24-4 in softball on Sunday was just another day at the proverbial office.

Riddle me this, in-state students: Has the hometown sports scene ever held this much promise? Virginia bracketologists understandably are bummed about a 'Hoo-less March Madness, but as the spring sports season begins in earnest, Cavalier fans have plenty of reason for optimism. Virginia's men's lacrosse and baseball teams - both numero uno nationally - are primed for NCAA Championship runs, and an undeniable excitement surrounds the start of spring football practices with the new Mike London regime.

At some point in every sports fan's life, there comes a time when one must wave good-bye to the hometown team's old stadium and welcome the new. Understandably, money talks, and the promise of increased seating capacity, ticket revenue and marketing potential rarely falls on deaf corporate ears. In the blink of an eye, that stadium where you first experienced the beautiful sights, sounds and smells of sports fandom is reduced to rubble in favor of a fancy new arena with a retractable roof across the street. For diehard fans, a changing of the sports arena guard often brings out a complex physical and emotional reaction, but the overwhelming feeling is that of indebted nostalgia.

The snow in Charlottesville may be melting, but the Virginia men's basketball team remains ice cold after a 68-55 loss at Boston College Wednesday stretched its losing streak to a dismal eight games.

Passion. Integrity. Humility. Respect. For decades, college football players, coaches and media have used these and other buzzwords to describe the ideal college athlete. When taken seriously, these members of the sports lexicon lay at the foundation of what collegiate competition is supposedly all about. Tragically, college football programs that honor these virtues have become an increasingly rare breed in recent years. Not so very long ago - before O.J. was accused, Canseco juiced, or Tiger cheated - college athletes played the game with hearts largely untainted by the greed, egotism and immorality that have corrupted contemporary sports. The crucial difference is coaching. Today, college coaches increasingly fail to embody personally and instill professionally the values of teamwork, character and academic achievement that are integral to a coach's job of molding boys into men, on and off the football field.

Team USA may have dominated the overall medal count at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, but losses to Canada during both the men's and women's ice hockey gold medal games left a bad taste in the mouth of more than one American puckhead. Thankfully, the Virginia Women's Hockey Club did its part to ease the sting of Hockey Canada's gold medal haul by winning its second straight Delaware Valley Hockey League Championship. The road to the trophy, however, was anything but easy. After a disappointing 1-7 start to the season, the team regrouped during Winter Break and won six of its final seven games to complete a remarkable run to the title.

After two weeks of winless basketball, the Virginia men's squad hits the road to take on Miami tonight and will attempt to salvage a season that began with promise before falling flat this month.\nVirginia (14-11, 5-7 ACC) thumped the Hurricanes 75-57 at John Paul Jones Arena in mid-January but has gone 3-7 since, having dropped its last five contests in a skid that has included everything from overtime heartbreakers against Virginia Tech and Wake Forest to blow-out defeats at Maryland and Clemson.

After falling just short of the national championship game last season, the Virginia men's lacrosse team starts its spring campaign ranked third in preseason polling and set to face off against a Drexel team it defeated 13-7 last season and has dominated 5-1 during the last decade.

Let's get one thing straight before I get called a spineless, syrup-sucking ne'er-do-well because I'm writing a column about a sport other than Virginia men's basketball - I'm just as ecstatic as the next 'Hoo about the Cavaliers' unexpected ascent up the ACC ladder, but the way I see it, I'm actually doing Will Sherrill & Co. a big favor in the karma department. I'm not superstitious - maybe just a little 'stitious - when people make like Jim Mora and prematurely start "talking 'bout playoffs," but lest we jinx Tony Bennett's boys, let's embrace Charlottesville's snow-capped spirit, practice our bad Canadian accents and talk some ice hockey, eh?
