Dallas, Colorado to rematch in opener
The Associated Press
The first puck of the NHL season drops in Dallas — the same place last season came to a sudden end.
Less than four months after New Jersey's Jason Arnett beat Dallas goalie Ed Belfour in double overtime to win the Stanley Cup, Reunion Arena welcomes the Colorado Avalanche, the team the Stars beat to advance to the finals the last two seasons.
"There is a real respect level between the teams," said Dallas coach Ken Hitchcock. "There is a really intense individual competition."
The Stars and Avalanche, who battled through consecutive sevengame Western Conference finals, will play the NHL opener tonight the only game on the schedule
Tonight's opener starts a season in which Minnesota and Columbus join the league and Mark Messier comes back to the New York
Rangers.
The NHL resumes a regular schedule tomorrow, with Ottawa at Boston, Chicago at Buffalo, Vancouver at Philadelphia, Detroit at Calgary and St. Louis at Phoenix. All 30 teams, including expansion clubs Columbus and Minnesota, will play on Saturday.
Minnesota is back in the league for the first time since the North Stars packed up for Dallas after the 1992-93 season. The Wild start out with a two-game road trip that will take them to Anaheim on Friday and . Phoenix on Saturday. Minnesota will play its first home game on Wednesday, Oct. 11 against Philadelphia.
The additions of Minnesota and Columbus conclude the latest round of expansion, which also

brought Atlanta and Nashville into the league in the past two seasons. Since the first expansion in 1967, the NHL has grown from the "Original Six" franchises to 30.
While commissioner Gary Bettman welcomes Minnesota back, New York will cheer the return of its captain Messier to the Rangers when they play their home opener Oct. 11. Just as when Messier first came to New York, the Rangers will be on the road for a game (Saturday at Atlanta) before No.11 can pull on his home white jersey.
Arnott's sudden-death goal in Game 6 of the Cup finals ended Dallas' hope of repeating as league champion. The Devils begin their quest for two straight titles when they raise their championship banner at home against the Montreal Canadiens, owners of 23 Stanley Cups, on Friday night.
Nashville and Pittsburgh open with a two-game series in Japan on Friday and Saturday at midnight (EDT).
The Boston Bruins will open a season with Ray Bourque for the first time since he was a rookie in 1979. Bourque re-signed with the Avalanche after he was dealt by the Bruins late last season so he could have a chance to win his first championship ring.
The Avalanche start a countdown on opening night as goaltie Patrick Roy needs only four victories to reach 448 and break Terry Sawchuk's career victory record.
Goalie tries to avoid record-breaking hype
The Associated Press
DENVER — Poised to break one of the most hallowed records in NHL history, Patrick Roy vowed to distance himself from the hype that seems inevitable during the next few weeks.
The television news will be limited to current events and a peek at the five-day forecast. The newspaper affords a glance at the stock market, but stories about Roy and the Colorado Avalanche will be avoided.
This is the strategy Roy believes will keep him focused on earning the four victories necessary to pass Terry Sawchuk as the NHL's winningest goaltender.
"I don't want to visualize that." Roy said Monday. "For some reason, it seems very far to me. Every time I is getting close to something really special in the past, it
was taking me forever to get it. I don't want to focus on that."
With 444 career victories, Roy needs three more to tie Sawchuk, who played long before goalies began crouching in the crease wearing intricately painted masks.
Roy, born six years before Sawchuk died in 1971, has made an effort to learn about the goalie's life off the ice out of respect for his accomplishments.
His chase to supplant Sawchuk in the record book starts today when the Avalanche open the season on the road against the Dallas Stars, the team that eliminated them from the playoffs each of the last two seasons.
"He's broke a few records since Ive been playing with him," said Colorado forward Adam Deadmarsh. "He's been pretty much the greatest goaltender of all time. It's been an honor to play with him, that's for sure."
Roy will turn 35 tomorrow but has displayed no sign of deterioration. He lost about 12 pounds during the off season in an effort to add quickness, flexibility and stamina.
"This is the best I've felt for a long time," he said. "The last time I felt like this, I was probably 28, 29. I really feel like I'm moving well, but it's not a guaranteed thing. One year, I came in in very good shape, but I was not as hungry. Right now, I feel
like I'm hungry."
Lord Stanley knows Roy can't get much more consistent.
An analysis of 100-game intervals shows that Roy has won at least 49 games during each of the eight segments. In the 41 games since his 800th, Roy's winning percentage is .641 — one of the best stretches of his career.
Stability in the net is one of several things going for the Avalanche as the team tries to regain its championship form of 1956-96.
On defense, the Avs also have a formidable top duo of Adam Foote and Ray Bourque.
"We have some very high expectations of this hockey club," said coach Bob Hartley. "There's no need to hide anything. Looking at the depth of this hockey club, the skill level, the leadership, we're definitely going to be a very good contender for the Cup."
