Goal no. 4, the one scored from just inside the blue line from no. 77 ray borg. Avs beat the wings in front of 50,000 fans 52 the final. Aaron matas has more from the diamond.

Patty is just the greatest competitor ive ever gotten to be around. Hes one of the greatest goalies of all time, so you dont lose that. Maybe you lose some other things of everybody slows down, but you see the competitive level and pucks flying around the crease and never giving up. Weve played against him so long and have the utmost respect for his competitiveness. Hes just awesome. Got to respect that.

With all the winter classic games that have been around the league the past few years, i mean youve seen all the guys do it, definitely something that, you know, small little detail thats exciting to be a part of and to be honest, it didnt do much of a difference for me out there, but at least i look cool.

We finish with football. The broncos have begun efforts to keep as many of their current pieces in place as possible. Mike klis explains in his notebook from the combine. Reporter the broncos open talks today about reducing the contracts of Demarcus Ware and ryan clady so they can come back in the 2016 season. Million this year, ware 10 million. A reduction for clay was expected after the left tackle missed the entire 2015 season with a torn left acl. Its a little more difficult asking ware to take a pay cut, though. He had 11 1 2 sacks in 14 games counting the post season. He was also viewed as an inspirational leader in the locker room that needed his guidance, but ware will also turn 34 in july and he did miss five games with a back injury, but the biggest reason for the pay cut request . The broncos need the money. Their priority in the next 10 days is to try and resign three of their own impending free agents, von miller, Malik Jackson and quarterback brock osweiler. Wonder what Demarcus Ware thinks about giving up money so they can turn around and give it to von and malik . From the nfl combine mike klis, 9news. No one likes a pay cut, but theyre better off cutting if people think they can win, theyll do it. They won back to back once before. Just cannot get enough of it. Legends on ice at coors field.
