Anthony Duclair Channels Peter Forsberg
Sometimes you just gotta do it yourself, ya know? Take matters into your own hands and make something happen.
Puck Prose
Typically, players do that kind of thing when the team is losing and the boys need a big goal to rally them.
This time? Anthony Duclair did it to pile on the Predators.
The play began when The Duke pokechecked the puck from the stick of Eric Nystrom and turned on the jets. Standing in his way was Roman Josi, handsome man and one of the best defenders in the NHL.
No problem.
Duclair sped by Josi and the Preds defender lost his skates, allowing Duclair to skate in unmolested against Carter Hutton.
From there, I’m pretty sure he used the Konami code and unlocked some secret level of puck skills, beating Hutton with a gorgeous Forsberg-esque move.
What a star in the making.
