DENVER -- Matt Duchenes strong start has been mirrored by his team. Duchene scored two goals and had an assist, helping the Colorado Avalanche beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 on Friday night to match the best 10-game start in team history. "Its special, going from where weve gone the last year," Duchene said, recalling the Avalanches 15th-place finish in the Western Conference last season. "It feels great to be 9-1, the best team in the league. "But you cant be satisfied. We know how fast that can turn. Weve been there before early in seasons and really slowed down going down the stretch. So weve got to keep on moving the way we are." Erik Johnson and Alex Tanguay also scored for the Avalanche, who topped Carolina at home for the ninth straight time. Semyon Varlamov made 28 saves in the win. "I think its a new attitude," said forward Paul Stastny, crediting much of the turnaround to the influence of first-year coach Patrick Roy. "Obviously, weve had the goaltending and we have a lot of depth. I think were all playing together and sacrificing for each other. "Were doing the little things right, and you do that over the course of 60 minutes, over the course of a season, and the puck is going to bounce your way." Carolina, which got goals from Drayson Bowman and Andrej Sekera, came into the game scrambling at the goalie position. Justin Peters, recalled from Charlotte of the AHL earlier this month, made his first start of the season because of injuries to the Hurricanes top two goalies and stopped 30 shots. "Hes battling in there," Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said. "A couple of those plays were odd-number situations, two on one. Guys losing their assignments put him in a vulnerable spot." Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward left Thursdays game at Minnesota in the first period with a lower-body injury, and Anton Khudobin has missed five games, also with a lower-body injury that has landed him on the injured list. Carolina recalled Mike Murphy from Charlotte on an emergency basis as an additional backup before the game. The Avalanche were on the power play when Duchene wristed a shot from between the circles into the net for his second goal of the night and his team-high eighth overall. That gave Colorado a 4-1 lead 36 seconds into the third. Carolina fought back with a goal by Sekera at 2:40. The Hurricanes had a chance to get even closer when they were on the power play midway through the period, but were turned away by Varlamov, who made consecutive saves. He stopped a shot from point-blank range by Alexander Semin. Colorado pressured the Hurricanes in their zone from the outset, taking a 2-0 lead while putting up 18 shots to Carolinas eight in the first period. "They came out ready to play," Peters said. "We knew they were going to come out ready. They have a great atmosphere here and have a great record at home. They had some chances, got some bounces there. Theyre real quick. All their guys can skate real well. Theyre fast, theyre hungry. They really battle hard on pucks as a team. When you have that skill level and confidence, it goes a long way." Johnson finished a 3-on-2 rush at 11:30 of the first by knocking the puck off his skate past Peters. Duchene scored his team-leading seventh goal of the season six minutes later, coming around the back of the net and wristing a shot that trickled in off Peters right leg. Carolina pulled within 2-1 when Bowman, off a centring pass from Jordan Staal, one-timed a shot from the right circle that got past Varlamov. But the Avalanche regained a two-goal advantage at 10:11 of the second. Duchene sent a pass toward the slot where the streaking Tanguay picked it up and wristed it into the net for his third goal.

According to Marc Stein of ESPN, the Raptors "have definitively decided to make a real run at Gay.CARSON, Calif. -- After six seasons as the worldwide face of Major League Soccer, David Beckham believes nobody should doubt its a major league. Its the third word in MLS that still bugs the English midfielder. "Even after six years, Im still personally getting used to calling it soccer," Beckham said with a grin on Thursday. "I still have my moments of saying football. To me, it will always be football, but I have adapted myself over the years. I think Ive done pretty well, maybe, in the last year." Although Beckham is leaving the Los Angeles Galaxy after Saturdays MLS Cup final against Houston, he plans to play a major role in the leagues growth indefinitely. Beckham still wont say where he plans to play next, coyly deflecting the latest rumours of interest everywhere from Sydney to Monaco. But he reiterated his commitment to MLS, both as a future team owner and a cheerleader for North American football. And while Beckham is the biggest name to wear an MLS jersey, he believes the wave of international stars heading stateside will only grow. He informed Robbie Keane of MLS virtues before the Ireland captain joined the Galaxy last year, and he didnt deny hell help Los Angeles to recruit his own replacement as a designated player next season. "When I came over here, I committed to this team and I committed to growing this league," Beckham said. "Just because Im not playing here after the weekend, my commitment stays the same. I will do anything to keep these players coming over like Robbie Keane, like Thierry Henry. Anything I can do on that side of things, I want to do." Beckhams legacy is the subject of even more discussion than the MLS Cup this week, and thats fine with the league officials. After a rocky start to his MLS tenure when he struggled with injuries, pursued European loans and was booed by his own fans in Los Angeles, Beckham has emerged as the on-the-field force and the off-the-field beacon that MLS expected when he arrived in 2007. "Oh, I would love David to stick around forever," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said. "Its been a great experience for everyone. Buut its up to him to decide what his personal and family goals are.dddddddddddd ... When David came here, people overseas described us as a retirement league. Weve proven over the last six years that its a very competitive league, and David has been a big part of that. Hopefully more players will be coming over here at a younger age." Garber can rattle off a list of ways his league has improved in the past six seasons, from arena deals to television contracts. He also realizes Beckham could have a loud voice in MLS affairs after his playing days. "I think he would be a great member of the MLS ownership," Garber said. "Hes a serious guy. I dont think people understand what a business mind he has. Hes always thinking about marketing, about branding, about everything that makes a successful business. I think hed be a great addition to MLS." Beckham nearly wrapped up his Galaxy career last year after raising the trophy, but decided he still had unfinished business. By reaching his third MLS Cup final in four years while playing at an elite level deep into his 30s, he believes he addressed it. "I think Ive matured," Beckham said. "As you get older and you play more years in this game, your mind gets a bit quicker, to be honest. The legs might be a little bit slower than they were when I was 21 years old, but Ive always said it, Ive never been a quick player. Speed and pace have never been an issue for me in my game. You become more clever with your mind over the years." While deflecting widespread speculation he could become a significant investor in the Galaxy soon, he acknowledged hes proud of the effect he had on the franchises growth and the leagues maturity. "It was challenging the first couple of years, but a challenge I knew I was going to be up against, and I knew I would succeed," Beckham said. "Off the field, weve done a lot of hard work -- not just myself, but the people around the league. Theyre the kind of foundations that this league needs. Thats what happens in Europe, in the best leagues in the world. And the future is going to be bright." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
