Matt Duchene Post-Draft Interview

"Q. Thoughts of being picked by a team you were a big fan of.

MATT DUCHENE: Yeah, every kid of dreams of playing for his boyhood team. It has not sunk in yet. I keep looking down at the logo going are you kidding me, I used to draw this every day at school. This is unbelievable."

The live TSN interview he was quized about Hejduk, Stastny and Sakic’s sticks. My favorite part of his answers is when he answered about Sakics stick, “His stick is a lot like mine”. Not, “My stick is a lot like his”. Well played Mr. Duchene, well played.

How to be a fanboy without seeming like a fanboy.

Go Avs! Let's get some goals!

I loved that.

I wonder if Sakic will comment on that.

Inaudible question guesses.

Q. Inaudible.
MATT DUCHENE: I know nothing. I’ve been a part of the team for five minutes. We’ll see what happens. That would be unbelievable though.

No clue. Maybe potential linemates?

Q. Inaudible.
MATT DUCHENE: Bernie Nichols, he’s one of a few guys to score 70 goals, he’s from a little town, still Halliburton. Stackhouse is from there and Glen Sharpley are not from there but they live there and my buddy, Cody Sonner (ph), we are in the same decision and we go from teammates to maybe rivals and we’ll see how that goes.

Something about hometown NHL players.

Q. Inaudible.
MATT DUCHENE: Obviously he’s a guy who has done very well, high draft pick and played for Brampton. I imagine I’ll lean on him as much as I can. He’s been through a lot of the same things as me, same systems same coach, same place to live, same place to play. Yeah, it’s going to be very cool.

Obviously about Wolski.

I think you are correct on 2 and 3. I assume #1 was about potentially playing with Sakic

Hyphens cause writers more trouble than any other form of punctuation, except perhaps commas.

But wasn't playing with Sakic

In another question?

Although the interviewer did ask the question about playing for his childhood team twice so who knows.

Q. Did you look at the Rocket banner tonight?
MATT DUCHENE: I looked up and Patrick Roy was right above the stage, too. Both of those are really cool.

MHH: Like the Avs organization, we’ve now officially lost our minds.
