As you may have heard, Dmitry Orlov laid a massive hip check on the Avalanche’s Matt Duchene Tuesday night, sending the center flying through the air. In fact, Duchene completed a full flip.
The entire hockey community was excited by Orlov’s clean hit except for one person: Matt Duchene.
Duchene made these comments to reporters after the game.
Duchene on Orlov hit: “I was fine, but you guys saw it, so I shouldn’t have to say too much about it.”

More Duchene to reporters: “I don’t really want to talk about it because I’ll say something that might get me in trouble.”

Yes, Matt, we all saw the hit. It was perfectly clean and devastatingly awesome. All these flavors and you’re choosing salty?
Oshie on Orlov's hit: "That was one of the cooler hits that I've ever seen, that’s for sure."
