Dater – you’re awesome!
Duchene – nothing but CLASS – best of luck with the Sens
Av-a-dabba-doo
Obviously I don’t know all that has gone on behind the scenes, but in this clip at least, I don’t see how Matt could’ve handled this with more class and graciousness. Speaking for myself, I feel some sadness and will miss #9.

Way to go BSN. Matt is still my favorite player. Can’t wait to see what he does with consistently top line mates. On to the next Avs chapter.
Somewhat the end of an era. So much excitement when he was drafted and it just never quite worked out. Good luck Matt, thanks for the fun memories.
I was at the game and I was immediately puzzled by Duchene walking off the ice with Comeau. I am really curious if a player ever got traded in the middle of a game before >> @adater…But let’s face it: it’s a lousy way to leave, and at the end I wasn’t even sad the Avs lost this contest in such a decisive fashion. With the return of prospects, maybe it’s good in the long run, but frankly i really, realky hate that he was singled out so much for the avalanche’s shortcomings in recent years! All eyes will be on #29 and #92 now for sure! Good luck to #9 and even more good luck to the Avs for hopefully not screwing this up!
Wow, I’m just so thrilled that he didn’t protest how unfair life is, and that he showed some maturity and gratitude for the gifts he’s been given. Hello, NFL!!!!
Best of luck to Duchy. Thanks for your contributions here in Denver.
Duchene not so innocent in all of this after all, he apparently officially asked for a trade a year ago! So to act like he was offended this whole time with his name in the rumor mill is ridiculous.
