Avalanche GM Joe Sakic, coach Patrick Roy and his staff played shinny Friday at the American Airlines Center after the morning skates. Forward Paul Carey, who will be scratched against the Stars, and backup goalie Reto Berra also participated:
DALLAS — Feels like New York here. Cold, snow and traffic. Yes, it’s a snow day in Big D. Accidents all over the streets, schools are letting out early, Stars players told to avoid traveling to their suburban homes between the morning skate and the game — all because an inch or two of snow. But the game will go on, and it’s a big one between teams with 63 points — eight behind Minnesota for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot. The morning skate .
