It might be the most famous last shift in Colorado Avalanche history. On April 10, 2011, Adam Foote played in his final NHL game. The game itself was rather meaning as the Avs and Edmonton Oilers were out of the playoffs, but Foote’s final shift will be remembered forever.
The game was tied 3-3 in overtime when the Oilers brought the puck into the Avalanche zone. Once the puck went along that boards, that’s when the rugged Avs defenseman went to work. First, it was Teemu Hartikainen feeling the wrath of Foote as he took a couple of right hand shots to the back.
