It's only the first round of the NHL Playoffs, yet it already seems like the strangest postseason ever.

We've had balls. Lots of balls. We've had large furry animals bothering head coaches. And now Sesame Street characters are showing up at games.

What is going on? Clearly Bert and Ernie don't follow hockey that closely. They're wearing Quebec Nordiques and Team Sweden jerseys to a Colorado Avalanche game. Get with the times, guys!

At this point it's only a matter of time until Big Bird shows up between the benches next to Pierre McGuire.
