Duchene And O’Reilly Remain Friends
from Adrian Dater of the Denver Post,
There has been a lot of speculation that Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly might have a problem with each other. That maybe there is a rift between the young centers, and speculation on what that rift might do to the Avalanche's locker-room atmosphere.
So Friday morning after the Avs skated at the Pepsi Center, I bluntly asked Duchene...

Linesman misses offside call, results in goal
Sometimes in sports, the worst officiating calls are the ones that aren’t even made. That was the case Monday in Colorado where the Avalanche and Predators got together for a little holiday matinee hockey. The two clubs faced off in Denver in what ended up being a wild affair, with the Avs coming away with a 6-5 win. They were certainly helped by an egregious non-call, however...
Predators lose game on blown Matt Duchene offsides call
There have been more than a few questionable calls so far this season that have potentially cost teams a point or two in the standings. The latest victim? The Nashville Predators, who were scored upon by Matt Duchene - a very offside Matt Duchene. From TSN's Instagram feed comes the helpful illustration above.
Yeah, it looks like he might be a little bit over the...
Matt Duchene scores easy offside goal against Predators with linesman's blown call (Video)
Colorado Avalanche center Matt Duchene received a gift from an NHL linesman with a horrendous blown call that allowed him to score a goal during the second period of Monday's game against the Nashville Predators.
This one wasn't even close, as Duchene was so far past the blue line on the play that he had to slow down, turn around and wait for the puck to catch up to...
Matt Duchene scores bizarre goal where he appears to be offsides
This is easily one of the most bizarre goals that has happened so far this year. Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Duchene entered the zone about a foot ahead of this dump in, and seemed surprised when the whistle never blew to declare him offsides. Duchene then corralled the puck and fired it past Nashville Predators goalie Chris Mason to give the Avs a 3-1 lead. Obviously Nashville...
Matt Duchene Took a Puck to the Chin and Got 19 Stitches (Video)
Meet Matt Duchene of the Colorado Avalanche. Last night the Avalanche beat the LA Kings 3-1, and Duchene was on the bad end of a hockey puck to the chin. Drew Doughty of the Kings wound up for a slap shot in the third period and smacked it right into Duchene's chin. You can see what the result was above. 19 stitches and an ugly looking grill. The crazy part is that...
Avalanche players weigh playing in alternative leagues
Denver, CO. With the NHL lockout in full swing with no progress in sight, many Colorado Avalanche players are weighing the idea of playing in Europe and even minor league hockey programs. Matt Duchene is not planning on playing in Europe at this point but may change his mind as the lockout continues, and especially if the entire season looks to be lost. Many players are in the...
NHL's goal of the year?
Matt Duchene put his talent on display on Tuesday in Pittsburgh with this slick first period goal.
Matt Duchene needs to step up.
With a 4-1 start to the season and four straight wins on the road, the Avs are looking like a potential playoff team right now. Semyon Varlamov is providing the defence with a newfound sense of security, and even though the team let in five goals against the Canadiens on saturday, none of them could really be blamed on Varly. The Canadiens game was a good test for the team after...
