With or Without You: Matt Duchene

See the pain set in your eyes
See the knee twist at your side
We wait for you

Drought of goals and drop in rank
On a bed of nails you make us wait
And we wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through this stretch our offense bores
They give it all but we need more
And we're waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
We can't win
With or without you

And you give the game away
And you give the game away
And you give
And you give
And you give our hopes away

The score is tied
Your body bruised, he's got us with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give the game away
And you give the game away
And you give
And you give
And you give lottery picks away

With or without you
With or without you
We can't win
With or without you.

The Avs have stumbled to a 6-8-1 record without their top player. They've been outscored 38-31 over that stretch, and have only won 2 games in which they've scored less than 3 goals. They have won EVERY game in which they score 3 goals or more. Get well soon Dutchy.

Love always,

MHH

Nicely done. On a slightly related note, I was thinking about how North American sports need more chants like they have in soccer. If not for the nature of stadium music and announcers and etc, I would absolutely make it my goal to round up as many friends and start like a “Matt Duchene song” or an anti-Red Wing one, or one for when we own in a fight

I want Avs games to incorporate some of the stuff the Mammoth (lacrosse) do, in particular the “GET IN THE BOX!” yell when an opposing player gets a penalty.

AGREED

We also need Willie B to pump up the crowd on power plays!

All I could think of… (NSFW due to strong language)

Hopefully Duchie will be back by the 15th to light up Bobby Lu.
