DENVER -- Patrick Roy was fuming after the final horn, jawing at the Anaheim Ducks and then pushing over a glass partition separating the benches. And all that was after a win. Feisty as a Hall of Fame goalie, Roy appears just as animated as an NHL coach. Roy certainly made his coaching debut with the Colorado Avalanche memorable as he led his team to a 6-1 win over the Ducks on Wednesday night and then lost his temper over a no-call on a trip of one of his players. He barked at opposing players and then at Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau, who hollered right back. Roy then slammed his hands against the glass, tilting it over. Roy hit it again -- a little harder -- and it fell even more toward Boudreau. "I didnt expect that," Boudreau said. "Its not our job to go back and forth with their players. All of a sudden, I told him, Thats bull, thats bush league, and he did what he did. "(Hes) going to be in for a long year, if hes going to yell at every player and yell at the refs at every stoppage of play. Its not the way the game is played." Instead of being elated about his first win as a coach, Roy was agitated over an apparent tripping infraction against top draft pick Nathan MacKinnon that wasnt called. "That should have been a penalty, in my opinion," said Roy, who received a game misconduct penalty. "I dont think this league needs that type of cheap shot." So just before the final horn, Roy sent Patrick Bordeleau and Cody McLeod onto the ice, fourth-line players who are also the teams top enforcers. That is what upset the Ducks. "At the end, obviously were frustrated," Boudreau said. "But I mean (hes) got Bordeleau and McLeod on the ice. Even if they start something, a coach has no right to start yapping at players." That overshadowed an otherwise fine season opener for the Avalanche. Semyon Varlamov was sharp in net as he made 35 saves, and Jamie McGinn scored two goals, both on passes from MacKinnon, the No. 1 pick in the draft in June. "Im just excited to be here and help set up scoring," MacKinnon said. Ryan OReilly, John Mitchell, Matt Duchene and Steve Downie added goals for the Avalanche, who improved to 19-8-7 on opening night. Alex Tanguay, back with Colorado for the first time since the 2005-06 season, also had three assists. Varlamov stuffed the Ducks all evening but lost his bid for a shutout in the closing seconds when Jakob Silfverberg slipped a shot by him. Soon after, things got heated as Roy lost his temper. "Hes not 25 anymore," Boudreau said. Viktor Fasth struggled for Anaheim, allowing three goals in the second period. At barely 18 years old, MacKinnon is the youngest player in franchise history to make his NHL debut. He had quite an eventful game, getting into a skirmish before his assists. His first career point came in the second period when he sent a pass through the legs of an Anaheim defender. His other was in the third when he found a wide-open McGinn skating toward the net. In large part, this night belonged to Roy, who drew a loud roar when he was introduced before the game. He and fellow Hall of Famer Joe Sakic, who is in charge of the Avalanches day-to-day hockey operations, are teaming up to restore the lustre to an organization that has missed the playoffs the last three seasons. It was fitting that Varlamov should play so well under the watch of Roy, one of the NHLs best goalies. "I am playing for a goalie that accomplished a lot," Varlamov said. "I think Patrick tells me a couple of good things, things I can use in a game. That is special." OReilly got the Avs off to a good start by scoring the first goal in the Roy era late in the opening period when he stole the puck from defenceman Francois Beauchemin and beat Fasth with a wrist shot. OReilly, who is making the move to left wing, also had an assist. It was a memorable return to the ice for Downie as he scored his first goal since Feb. 25, 2012. He missed the majority of last season with a torn knee ligament. Teemu Selanne didnt have many scoring chances for the Ducks as the 43-year-old forward began his final NHL season. Selanne has spent 15 seasons with Anaheim and is the franchises career leader in goals, assists and games.

Lets make one thing clear: The Ottawa Senators acquired Ben Bishop from the St. Louis Blues for one reason and one reason alone.TORONTO - Eric Williams, Aaron Williams, the right to waive Alonzo Mourning and a draft pick that would later become Joey Graham. As the Raptors continue to celebrate their 20th anniversary campaign they are also approaching the 10-year mark of the single most glaring blemish in franchise history: the Vince Carter divorce. On December 17th, 2004, nearly a decade ago, Toronto officially cut ties with its best player, sending the disgruntled Carter to New Jersey for pennies on the dollar in what will go down as one of the biggest heists the league has ever seen. The artist formally known as Air Canada has returned to the scene of the crime, playing 16 games as a visitor in Toronto - including playoffs - with four different teams. Although the venom has dissipated in recent years, he has been greeted by boos, to varying degrees, in each appearance. Wednesday marks a new chapter in the saga and perhaps the next step in repairing a fractured relationship between the Raptors - the franchise, city and its fans - and their most important figure. How will it go? No one can possibly know for sure. With Carter and his new team, the red-hot Memphis Grizzlies, in town for a match-up of unlikely conference leaders, the Raptors will honour VC in a video tribute sometime during the first quarter as part of their continued 20th anniversary celebrations. Its a decision thats sure to spark controversy and awaken an ongoing, decade-long debate in and around Toronto: Does Carters Raptor legacy merit any kind of salute? And if so, to what extent and at what time is it appropriate? The breakup was unquestionably ugly, something that neither party is especially proud of, although no one has fully embraced their share of the blame. The franchise mishandled Carter for most of his tenure, especially towards the end. They failed to build a contender around him and alienated him with botched draft picks and the hiring of Rob Babcock. And Carter? Whether he relented or not, at some point he asked out of Toronto. He was accused of tipping plays to the opposition and would later admit to giving less than a full effort prior to the inevitable split. That said, his Raptors resume speaks for itself. A five-time All-Star, Rookie of the Year, member of an All-NBA second and third team and winner of the iconic Slam Dunk Contest that put Toronto on the basketball map. Hes the teams all-time leader in points per game, second in scoring, fourth in assists and fifth in rebounds. Most importantly, he took the Raptors to heights they had never reached and have yet to reach since. He is the face of basketball when you think of basketball in Canada and when you look at the Raptors, said Sam Mitchell, currently an assistant with the Timberwolves and formerly Carters head coach in Toronto, who guested with Bryan Hayes on TSN Radio Tuesday afternoon. He was a great ambassador for the game and played extremely well for the Raptors. I would hope people would remember those things, not just how he left but remember how he came in and what he did while he was there. Unaware of the plan to honour Carter in Wednesdays game, DeMar DeRozan was asked if its an appropriate time to pay tribute to the former Raptors star.dddddddddddd I think it would be better once hes done because you still get the boos and the mixed emotions when he comes here to play with another team, said DeRozan, now directly behind Carter on the teams all-time scoring list. So I think it would be best when hes done. When [his career is] all said and done everybody can realize everything hes done for the city. While a post-retirement tribute would seem to make the most sense, for the very reasons DeRozan cited, the teams anniversary festivities may have forced their hand in that regard. They have already honoured former players Alvin Williams and Antonio Davis with video montages in a game against the Washington Wizards earlier this month. Last week they did the same for longtime play-by-play voice Chuck Swirsky and will continue to pay tribute to former players and personnel throughout the season. Meaning no disrespect to the contributions of those they have celebrated, or will continue to celebrate, none of them come close to matching Carters overall importance to the franchises first two decades or the growth of basketball in Canada. Its been way too long, said Williams, asked if its time for Toronto to forgive and forget when he was in town on Nov. 7. Hes done a lot, not only for us as a team but just for this country. You see the Canadian basketball players that are growing up and its a testament to him. That shows what he did not only for the Raptors but what he did for this whole country. I talk to Andrew [Wiggins] and I talk to Anthony Bennett, said Mitchell, who now coaches both Canadian first-overall picks in Minnesota. And without a doubt they identify with the Vince Carter era. They remember buying those seven dollar tickets or nine dollar tickets, sitting up in the nosebleeds, taking the train down to the ACC to come watch Vince Carter play. So, during a year in which the Raptors are looking back and paying homage to their past, could they really have disregarded the man who has more or less defined it, for better or for worse? That doesnt mean fans have to embrace Carter or even applaud him on Wednesday. Some will, some wont and its impossible to argue that either side is definitively right or wrong in the stance they choose to take. Carters tenure in Toronto can be remembered for the good, for the bad or for the ugly. Has enough time elapsed to heal those wounds? Regardless of how you may feel about Vince when he left, I would encourage the fans to think about the times when Vince was there, Mitchell pleaded. How he played and the excitement and the notoriety that he brought to the Raptors and to that country, Canada as far as basketball. As you get older and you learn, we all grow, he continued. Im sure Vince would like to have done some things different, we all would like a do-over in certain areas of our life, but you still cant negate what he did for basketball in Canada. He brought it to life and he gave it a face. For that, I think the people in Toronto should be eternally grateful. ' ' '
