Duchene Goals
Of course, we love Matt Duchene’s personality, but he’s one of our hockey stars first and foremost. He’s the face of our team because of his goals.
Let’s start with one of his standard goals. He snipes a shot and celebrates with his typical punch down. (Or maybe that’s the hammer down!)
Personally, we’ll always remember that time Matt Duchene was so fast the officials didn’t notice he was in the offensive zone way before the puck:
The Nashville Predators didn’t appreciate it, but we sure did!
Of course, Duchene will always be famous for The Dutchy, his high-skill toe-drag goal:
He’s even got a T-shirt about it!
However, my favorite move is what I think of as the real Dutchy. It’s his patented spin-o-rama behind the net. Apparently he copied it from one of his idols, our very own Peter Forsberg. However, his take on it is pure finesse — and pure Matt Duchene.
So, what do you think, Avs Nation? What’s your favorite aspect of Matt Duchene?
