Kiszla: Have woebegone Broncos made same mistake as Rockies and adopted “Don’t Worry Be Happy” as their theme song?
The Broncos might be the greatest 5-11 team in the history of the NFL, by the way new general manager George Paton gushes about players that finished dead last in the AFC West. Don’t know if Paton is a worthy championship architect, but he certainly a great big huggy bear. Have the Broncos duped Paton into believing all they need is a healthy dose of good luck and competent quarterback play to get back in the playoff conversation? Paton sounded Thursday as if he’s prepared to wrap his loving arms around quarterback Drew Lock. Rather than putting the underperforming Broncos on notice, Paton expressed the Pollyannish desire to bring everybody from linebacker Von Miller to Miles the Mascot back in the fold for 2021. After doing a deep dive on Lock’s videotape, Paton declared the young quarterback is talented but inconsistent. Well, duh. “I’ve spoken with Drew. I see him every day. He’s here early and he’s working. He really wants to be great,” Paton said. “We’re always going to try and bring in competition to every position, the quarterback as well. I like the trek that Drew is on.” Maybe Paton finished his film study wondering how Denver lost 11 games last season, because he went out of his way to compliment safety Justin Simmons, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, safety Kareem Jackson, running back Phillip Lindsay and all the players who might wonder how much the new boss loves them at a time when there’s a measure of contract uncertainty for all of them. While I hate to be contrarian, isn’t that a lot of unrequited love for a team that hasn’t made the playoffs in five years? Let’s hope Paton was merely trying to be diplomatic while keeping his true feelings to himself. Or perhaps coach Vic Fangio and holdovers from the previous regime have sold Paton on the idea everything will be peachy for the Broncos once the dark clouds of the pandemic disappear, replaced by the smiling face of No. 1 receiver Courtland Sutton, fully recovered from a knee injury. ...

Mike Hoffman made plays on both ends of the ice to help the St. Louis Blues extend their winning streak to three games.

It was an NHL-leading seventh goal for St. Louis when it is playing 6-on-5. "Obviously, backchecking is key there. I just tried to get on my horse and whack the puck back out through the neutral zone," Hoffman said. "Perron made a good play, came down and had a good shot." In overtime, Hoffman ripped a slap shot from the right faceoff circle after getting a feed from Torey Krug for his seventh goal of the season.

Jeff Carter and Dustin Brown scored for Los Angeles, which has lost four in a row following a six-game winning streak. Petersen made 19 saves.
