Matt Duchene gets it.

After being called out by head coach Patrick Roy for celebrating the first 30-goal campaign of his career in a loss to St. Louis, the Colorado Avalanche forward says he was in the wrong and is ready to move forward.

"We talked, we had a good chat (Monday), everything's good," Duchene said, according to Terry Frei of the Denver Post. "I totally understand where (Roy's) coming from, what he's trying to do. I'm on board with it, I think we all are. It was one of those things where right away, I certainly knew it wasn't the right thing, the right reaction.

"I kind of buried my head after that, even going back to the bench. I understood it wasn't the right thing. We had a good talk and it's all good."

Duchene's goal came with the Avalanche down 4-0, and Roy took exception with the celebration of a personal milestone with the team losing and out of the playoffs.

"If I could go back and change it, I would. I can't do that. I think everybody here knows that's not what I mean to do. It's all good," he reiterated.

Still, Duchene was rumored to be available on the trade market earlier this season, and the Avs will most certainly miss the playoffs for the second year in a row, so one can't help but wonder if something will give in the offseason.
