A year and a half ago, Matt Duchene requested a trade away from the Colorado Avalanche.
Sakic eventually moved him to Ottawa in that blockbuster 3 way trade. Duchene played against the Avs a week after the trade, but those games were in Sweden.
Tonight, Duchene returns to Denver for the first time since leaving.
Everybody remembers his parting comment of wanting to be on a playoff team and not being up for yet another rebuild. Of course, the Avs went on to make the playoffs and the Sens were a disaster.
Tons of emotion in tonight’s game.
How does everybody think he will do?
Do you think the crowd will cheer him or give him some boos?
