Donald DiFrancesco will get three days of skiing at the Colorado resort of his choice if the series goes the other way. Owens said he and DiFrancesco made their bet by phone on Thursday. The seven-game series starts Saturday in Denver (ESPN, 8 p.m. ET). Owens took a poke at the Devils, who moved to New Jersey in 1982 after a brief and unremarkable stint as the Colorado Rockies. "Who can take seriously a team that actually left Colorado to play in New Jersey?" Owens said. Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories
