Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Duchene took over the club's Twitter account on Friday to answer fan questions ahead of Opening Night at Pepsi Center.

Yeah! Can’t wait for the game tonight. https://t.co/uydGDjDYkI

Yeah, for sure. It’s a big honor and responsibility. I’ll do my absolute best to help the team on and off the ice. https://t.co/qeZaLPnatE

Getting back out in front of our fans, for sure. Also just getting back on the ice in a game situation with my teammates. https://t.co/y9GmoIZdI1

He’s great! He’s missing the cottage back in Canada, but he loves his back yard here in Denver as well. https://t.co/tBeTcTWU6l

Nashville, for obvious reasons haha. https://t.co/sKkBGLAqOD

The guys have been awesome. I think they’re going to add a real great element to our team this season. https://t.co/5LCdORX99M

Not my pizza! https://t.co/hze3MxaujQ

Yes, of course! My jersey is framed in my rec room at my cottage. https://t.co/Vbj9LcVAfA

Tippin’ Point, for sure! https://t.co/QGYcNjxRSO

Our post-win song on the plane this year is going to be Huntin, Fishin and lovin every day… and our post-loss song is absolutely nothing, ha https://t.co/Vc8FeIRlxz
— Colorado Avalanche (@Avalanche) October 14, 2016

Right now, I’ve got songs by @LukeBryanOnline, @FLAGALine, @coleswindell and @JustinColeMoore. https://t.co/P3Y9PmwYO4

You bet! 😉 https://t.co/Rg5dtVvOVQ

There are so many great ones, but one guy that always gives me trouble is Quick. https://t.co/1WCBmtzCzi
— Colorado Avalanche (@Avalanche) October 14, 2016

Both were amazing. Winning an Olympic gold medal was unreal, but playing in front of our home fans in Toronto was pretty incredible as well. https://t.co/c2Uj1ojx2W

Favorite album: 21st Century Breakdown.

Favorite song: Boulevard of Broken Dreams. https://t.co/hSQ85R78Nu

Not a big hot dog eater (not great for the diet) but I’m a just ketchup type of guy. https://t.co/J4oL6snxKo
— Colorado Avalanche (@Avalanche) October 14, 2016

We’re feeling good! Can’t wait to get started tomorrow night. https://t.co/rIRHu9ft1K
— Colorado Avalanche (@Avalanche) October 14, 2016

Right now, it would be May We All by @FLAGALine. https://t.co/P8DfbxIQ9u
— Colorado Avalanche (@Avalanche) October 14, 2016

Sakic and Forsberg, of course! https://t.co/cU8FJ5nlWg
— Colorado Avalanche (@Avalanche) October 14, 2016

Not a lot, but because of the World Cup making my season start earlier I ramped things up a little quicker in August. https://t.co/7Xm6GoRVPT
— Colorado Avalanche (@Avalanche) October 14, 2016

Depends. I like the new stuff but some of it is really cheesy. It’s always tough to beat the real classics, though. https://t.co/2HEYqkIPyh

Wrist or snap shot. https://t.co/GIaj79xiZB

Yes, absolutely! All of us take great pride in opening the season on a good note. https://t.co/uBiKdRTKg9

Tough to argue with Patrick Kane right now. https://t.co/XDm2p3ujHp

Keep your stick on the ice! 😜 https://t.co/urgICo0cSv

The game obviously was awesome, but playing guitar with @leebrice was also a highlight. https://t.co/13or9480Ik

.@bernienicholls9 is from my hometown and wore white skates. I was going to switch back to black after a year of wearing them. (1/2) https://t.co/0wp6SnvCUc
— Colorado Avalanche (@Avalanche) October 14, 2016

My junior teammates told me I couldn’t because I wouldn’t look the same. So I kept them and haven’t switched since. (2/2)
— Colorado Avalanche (@Avalanche) October 14, 2016

Haha, I’m not sure but somebody much better looking than I am! 😂 https://t.co/b5qDXyT8VM

Every year my fiancee and I watch the Harry Potter marathon that’s on TV. https://t.co/IsTDCN7UJy

I have two:
1. Being drafted by the #Avs.
2. Winning the Olympic gold in Sochi. https://t.co/ftuoRlVAqU

\Coming to Opening Night? With construction going on in and around the arena, including the closure of 12th Street, we anticipate increased travel times. Please make sure to leave early and give yourself plenty of time to arrive. Plan accordingly so you don't miss a minute of the excitement. The game starts at 7 p.m. as we look forward to the #NextEra of Colorado Avalanche hockey.*
