Extractions: Say what you want about goaltending and defense winning championships,but a good offense still puts fannies in the seats. There will be no exception to that rule in Denver this season, where the Colorado Avalanche have juiced up their offensive engine with the signings of one of the greatest one-two combos in league history, Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne. This soon-to-be-legendary signing isn't the only sweeping change on the Avalanche roster, however. The greatest goaltender of all-time, Patrick Roy, has retired from the NHL, leaving the Avs with a gaping hole between the pipes. The loss of defensemen Greg de Vries and Bryan Marchment has allotted two spots to newcomers on the Avalanche blue line, one to be filled by former Predator Karlis Skrastins and the other by an ex-reserve from Hershey of the AHL.

Extractions: You couldn't have scripted a better start for the Sharks and their 2nd round match up with the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night. San Jose struck early and often and when Colorado tried to answer, the Sharks scored some more. The result was a 5-2 white washing at HP Pavilion before a wildly enthusiastic sellout crowd. Sharks captain Patrick Marleau chipped in with his second hat trick of the playoffs to lead the Sharks to an early 1-0 lead in the Western Conference semi-final series with the Avalanche.

Extractions: Offseason arrivals: LW Paul Kariya, RW Teemu Selanne, D Karlis Skrastins Offseason departures: G Patrick Roy, D Bryan Marchment, D Greg de Vries The Avalanche said goodbye to G Patrick Roy, who announced his retirement on May 28. Roy, who captured four Stanley Cups and three Conn Smyth Trophies during his 18-year career, finished fourth in voting in his quest for a fourth Vezina Trophy and 12th for the Hart Trophy in his final campaign. ... To make up for the loss of Roy, general manager Pierre Lacroix made an enormous splash in the free agent market, signing LW Paul Kariya and RW Teemu Selanne at bargain basement prices. Kariya, who earned $10 million with Anaheim last season, agreed to a one-year contract worth a mere $1.2 million. Selanne, who made $6.5 million in 2002-03, declined an option for the same amount with San Jose for a one-year, $5.8 million deal.

Extractions: Denver Post Sports Writer In the mid-1990s, young Karlis Skrastins was playing for his hometown team in Riga, Latvia, and beginning to wonder if he ever would get a chance to move on to more prominent and lucrative employment in the hockey world. When 5-year-old Karlis saw a hockey game on television in Riga and convinced his mother, Ieva, to take him to a rink to give the sport a try, the infrastructure was in place - if under the Soviet yoke. So he was able to play, and because he was good, he was nudged up the chain. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Latvia's regained independence, the downside - at least athletically - was the Soviet sports machine also was dismantled. Facilities and financial support were crumbling. It was a small price to pay for the independence of the Baltic nations, among others, but it was affecting the quality of hockey.

Extractions: Red Sox Patriots Celtics Bruins ... Hockey PRO HOCKEY NOTES By Nancy Marrapese-Burrell, Globe Staff, 1/25/2004 When the Carolina Hurricanes were struggling along midway through the 2001-02 season, rumors were rampant that coach Paul Maurice would be fired if his club lost in Florida Dec. 8. The club rallied to win that contest, though, and many more on the way to the franchise's first appearance in the Stanley Cup finals, where the Hurricanes were defeated by the Red Wings. ADVERTISEMENT The following season was a disaster, which often happens to a team coming off a long playoff run. The roster was retooled a bit for this year, and everyone involved was hoping for a turnaround. When it didn't happen, Maurice was let go Dec. 15, in his ninth season behind the bench, and was replaced by former Bruins assistant Peter Laviolette. Prior to Mike Sullivan being hired by the Bruins last June, Maurice was the youngest bench boss in the NHL and also the longest-tenured coach. After giving himself a month off to decompress, Maurice, who turns 37 Friday, said he is back watching hockey and he even did some commentary over the weekend for Hockey Night in Canada. To illustrate just how impressive Maurice's staying power was in an industry that chews up coaches and spits them out, consider that from Nov. 6, 1995 to Dec. 15, 2003 Maurice's term as coach when the franchise was in Hartford and then Carolina Boston had six coaches.

Extractions: Red Sox Patriots Celtics Bruins ... Hockey NHL ROUNDUP By Associated Press, 4/13/2004 The New Jersey Devils won't give up the Stanley Cup without a fight. ADVERTISEMENT After dropping the opening two games in Philadelphia, the Devils got back into their first-round series with the Flyers last night. Patrik Elias scored twice and Scott Gomez had three assists in a 4-2 victory at East Rutherford, N.J. Rookie Paul Martin and Brian Gionta also scored, and Martin Brodeur made 23 saves for New Jersey. Jeremy Roenick and Tony Amonte scored for the Flyers, who twice blew one-goal leads. The Devils, for 7 on the power play in losing two 3-2 decisions in Philadelphia, scored three times on five extra-man chances to get back into the series. The Devils also had a little luck. Elias's second goal went past Robert Esche off the hip of Flyers defenseman Kim Johnsson with 2:32 left in the second period, giving New Jersey a 3-2 lead. It marked the first time in the series the Devils were ahead. Lightning 3, Islanders
