DENVER -- Glenn Anderson won six Stanley Cup titles with the
Edmonton Oilers and New York Rangers. Suffice to say, his
celebration was more subdued Saturday night.
|  | | Referee Jim Christison informs NHL Heroes of Hockey goalie Darren Pang that he didn't meet certain requirements for Saturday's Heroes of Hockey Game. |
Anderson capped a spirited alumni game by scoring the goal that
gave the NHL Heroes of Hockey a 3-2 victory over a team composed of
former Quebec Nordiques-Colorado Avalanche players.
After his goal, Anderson flashed a salute to each side of the
arena.
The game, which featured 40 former players, was part of NHL
All-Star weekend at the Pepsi Center. It preceded the NHL
SuperSkills competition.
In a made-for-entertainment event, former Boston Bruins forward
Terry O'Reilly tied the game at 2 when he beat Jacques Cloutier
between the legs on a penalty shot.
The shot came after Wilf Paiement drew a penalty for wearing a
false number on his sweater.
Earlier in the game, Darren Pang, an undersized
goalie-turned-broadcaster, was penalized for being too short to
play in goal. Pang stopped the ensuing penalty shot by Barry Beck,
and had eight saves in a scoreless first period.
Rick Middleton, a three-time All-Star for Boston in the 1980s,
had the other goal for the NHL Heroes.
Michel Goulet, who holds the Quebec-Colorado franchise record
with 548 career goals, and Dave Hannan, who was on Colorado's
Stanley Cup team in 1996, scored for the Colorado team.
