How did the Colorado Avalanche beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5 to 4?
Colorado Avalanche beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5 to 4 Seeing Darcy Tucker(notes) injured on a check into the boards was bad enough. Colorado coach Joe Sacco tried to make sure things didn’t get any worse, urging his team to rein in its emotions after seeing Tucker taken off the ice on a backboard. The talk seemed to refocus the Avalanche, with Milan Hejduk(notes) and Wojtek Wolski(notes) scoring goals in quick succession after Tucker’s injury and Colorado went on to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-4 on Friday night. “You can go two ways there,” Avalanche captain Adam Foote(notes) said. “Joe grabbed the guys and told them to regain their composure and not go running around trying to get guys back. You can lose your whole team on a hit like that, end up in the box and lose the two points. It’s probably a good thing (Carolina forward Tuomo Ruutu(notes)) got the major and got kicked out of the game.” Colorado Avalanche defenseman Scott Hannan(notes), left, knocks down Carolina Hurricanes c
