It looks like Duchene has found his place on Columbus

[Kshahdoo]

Him, Panarin and Atckinson looked ok vs Nashville. Did he play with them in previous games as well? He scored 5 points in the last 3 games. If this line keeps playing like this, it'll be a tough task to cover them in the playoffs.

He started out on that line after the TDL and they were abysmal. However Dubois has been atrocious as well so they moved Duchene back to that line and they’ve clicked

 

[Absolut]

He's been looking a lot better. Honestly, Torts line selection didn't help initially. I doubt he will stay in Columbus long-term though. I think he'll sign in Nashville.

 

[CartographerNo611]

Does he still rack up points after a multipoint lead already in place? Most unclutch number 1 center playing today.

 

[Sam Spade]

Like a short term lease condo? He won't be there too much longer.

 

[AvsFan29]

Don't get too attached.

His line selection was basically the same as it is now. (If not the same).

• Assist to give Columbus a 2-0 lead in the third period. Assist to give Columbus a 4-0 lead in the second period. They won 4-0.
• Assist to give Columbus a 3-2 lead in the second period. They won 6-2.
• Assist to give Columbus a 1-0 lead in the first period. Assist to give Columbus a 5-2 lead in the second period. They won 5-2.

It took him ~15 games to get going in Ottawa, and then he was stellar

 

[Jackets16]

Duchene is tied for first in playoff scoring with 4 points in 2 games.

Yeah he was dynamite for the Senators after that initial slow start. He can be a first line center, or an absolutely lethal 1b. Isn't in the elite tier with the Mcdavids and Crosbys, but he's in the next group. Incredibly skilled . . . wherever Duchene lands they will be lucky to have him.

Who knows, if Columbus wins a round or two . . maybe some of those guys looking to leave might reconsider. They have the makings of a great team there if they can keep it all together, and Columbus is an awesome place to live.

 

[JT Kreider]

Pumped for him. Guy gets a ton of disrespect round this here parts and doesn't deserve any of it.

 

[Phil120362]

He's playing for pay now,let's hope the team that signs him doesn't regret it in 2 yrs

Stealth bump on a thread with few a replies got me

Coincidentally he only scored a single point before last night after OP posted the thread

The Jackets look really good but if they advance past Tampa, or not, they’ll pull a Senators move and fall next season; at least they won’t throw away a top pick.

Not sure about that. They’ll still have 2 elite young defenders and a young 1C. Should be enough to build around no matter what happens this summer.

True to that actually, thinking about it, even if Bob and Panarin leave they still can keep Duchene and will have young kids plus money to grow.

Plus they’re not the Senators.

That's something people who aren't clutch say to feel better about not being clutch.

no its just common sense. clutch isn't a thing its like believing in the tooth fairy.

Yes, because all people handle nerves and pressure exactly the same. All players are affected by anxiety/adrenaline, some feed off it, some flounder. That’s why some players almost always raise their game, while others of similar caliber disappear. It’s basic pattern recognition
