Rookie Matt Duchene isn't one to rattle easily on the ice.
Take him to a horror film, though, and the 18-year-old Colorado Avalanche forward is soon quivering in his seat.
On the Avalanche's recent road swing, Duchene and his teammates went to see "Paranormal Activity," a low-budget fright flick. Duchene hid behind his popcorn box the entire movie, petrified by fear.
These days, a horror film is about all that's knocking Duchene and the Avalanche off their game. Colorado sits in first place in the Western Conference with a 6-1-2 mark, the team's second-best start through nine games since relocating to the Mile High City from Quebec in 1995.
All this from a youthful Avalanche team that was supposed to be in rebuilding mode.
