Boos from many fans in the Pepsi Center sellout crowd.
And what at least came off as denial from Avalanche coach Patrick Roy.
Those were two of the major reactions in the wake of Colorado's stunning 4-3 loss to the previously winless Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night. Colorado came back to take a 3-2 lead after two periods, then collapsed in the third.
In Roy's case, it probably was an attempt to avoid the perception of panic, rather than a case of truly believing his postgame statement that the loss to an 0-8 team neither embarrassed nor angered him.
