Breaking: Duchene gets booed and then gets emotional on the bench in Ottawa...
TSN

The Ottawa Senators didn't want to lose forward Matt Duchene for nothing and therefore traded him and defenseman  Julius Bergman to the Jackets for forward prospects Vitaly Abramov  and Jonathan Davidsson, a 2019 first-round pick and a conditional 2020 first-round pick earlier today. 

Duchene didn't have to get on a plane, or even walk out the door. He just had to go down the hall to the visiting team's dressing room at the Canadian Tire Centre. And hours later, he is now facing his former team in front of the crowd who used to chant his name. 

Things are different however, and now every time Duchene touches the puck on the ice in Ottawa, loud boos can be heard. 


However, in the first TV commercial of the first period, the Senators managed to quickly put together a video of Duchene's time in Ottawa to thank him for what he did for the Senators and the fans got to their feet to applaud him. Duchene got up at the Blue Jackets' bench and thanked the fans for their warm applause. He was seen tearing up. 


Quite the rollercoaster ride of emotions for Duchene today!
