Peter McNab, color analyst for the Colorado Avalanche who played 14 NHL seasons as a forward, died Sunday. He was 70.
"The Altitude and KSE family are saddened to announce the passing of our friend, Peter McNab," Altitude TV, the regional sports network of the Avalanche, said in a tweet. "Our hearts go out to his family and friends, and the McNab family asks for privacy during this unimaginably difficult time."
McNab was diagnosed with cancer in August but continued his analyst duties while undergoing chemotherapy treatments once every three weeks. Since he wasn't permitted to fly, he worked Colorado's road games from a local studio.
McNab was inducted to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2021 along with retired NHL forward Paul Holmgren and journalist Stan Fischler, in Denver, Colorado, on Dec. 9. He did not attend the ceremony. David McNab, a longtime assistant general manager with the Anaheim Ducks who recently retired, gave Peter McNab's acceptance speech on his older brother's behalf. Peter McNab was also represented by his daughter, Robyn Mastranadi.
"I won't kid you. It has been an unbelievably difficult time for all of the family and all of that," McNab told NHL.com at the time. "Something like this, it's really nice that as many people from my family can be in as possible."
The son of former NHL player and general manager Max McNab, Peter was selected in the sixth round (No. 85) by the Buffalo Sabres in the 1972 NHL Draft. He had 813 points (363 goals, 450 assists) in 955 regular-season games with the Sabres, Boston Bruins, Vancouver Canucks and New Jersey Devils. He also scored 82 points (40 goals, 42 assists) in 107 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
McNab is 11th in Bruins history in goals (263), 13th in points (587) and 16th in assists (324) in 595 regular-season games. He scored at least 35 goals in each of his first six seasons with Boston, including at least 40 goals twice. He scored an NHL career-high 41 goals in 1977-78 and 40 in 1979-80.
He had an NHL career-high 86 points (38 goals, 48 assists) in 80 games for the Bruins in 1976-77 and was named a Wales Conference All-Star.
He also played for the United States in the 1986 IIHF World Cup. At 33 he was the oldest player on that team, contributing one point, an assist, in 10 games.
McNab retired from the NHL in 1987 and transitioned to a broadcast career, first with the Devils from 1987-95. He he joined the Avalanche in 1995, their inaugural season. He was also an analyst during the 1998 Nagano Olympics, 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and 2006 Turin Olympics.
McNab played for the University of Denver from 1970-73. The 170 points (78 goals, 92 assists) he scored in 105 games rank him 10th in school history.
"Hockey gave me the opportunity to meet people that were so important to my life, the most important people in my life, and gave me the opportunities to experience things that I never ever would've experienced," McNab said. "The places I went, the people I met, it was absolutely phenomenal what the game of hockey gave me."

Kunin hits Robertson and three Stars approach Kunin afterward, nothing happens.
Can we put in a penalty for wasting everyone's time by pretending to be tough and not doing anything?
Not ragging on the Stars, everyone does it but it's so lame.

Cicek makes NHL debut tonight. I think he tries to get noticed, didn't shy away from rough stuff in the A last year.

I stopped watching hockey sometime around 2008, the Sharks blew another game that eliminated them from the playoffs and the NHL went back on strike. I got tired of watching an underachieving team that played in a league that seemed to always go on strike, so I have a bit of catching up to do.
After watching last nights game, I'm left wondering if is this a little engine that could type of team that got off to a slow start and will dominate in the playoffs or is it just a losing team that is somehow able to dominate a top tier team. So, which do you think it is or is it too early to tell?

Sharks are messing up the tank for Bedard but it’s hard to not be happy beating Vegas.

Its never a bad day to beat Vegas. That fucking Marchessault is so cocky I can't stand that pos. I stopped watching after the 2nd, would never have guessed they'd turn it around that well. Good for Cicek too, didn't look that bad
Det, Nyr, Ott, Sea next, we don't need to win those games at all

My son sent me a text yesterday stating the fact that 19 games into the season the Ducks have failed to yet to win a game in regulation. I was like, no way, and had to look it up to make sure. LOL The Sharks may suck that at least we don't suck that bad! LOL

Kind of crazy but I think Reimer might be best goalie we’ve had since peak Nabokov

I started watching in 91 and went to a lot of games, so I saw a lot of great games and players come through. I'm sure I missed some great games, but they still haven't won a cup.
