""He just loves the way Pro plays. Like, maybe ten games into the year, Pro is like lighting it up, and then Dewey is on the bench - the puck came around the wall like a rim to Pro, and Pro just made a great play on the wall, and he's just like yelling as loud as he can, 'That's a Hershey product. A Hershey Bears product.' And everyone's just dying laughing on the bench mid-game.""
"While most players would be excited, Duhaime, clearly impressed by what he just participated in, had a different reaction. As cameras followed him to the boards, Duhaime flashed a wry smile before acting as if he were offended or guilty that he received credit for a goal Protas had entirely created. "Pro... Pro... Stop that!" Duhaime said (if my lipreading is correct) as Protas skated over to the goal hug. He then pushed him in the chest, "Stop that!""
Washington Capitals forward Brandon Duhaime scored a shorthanded highlight-reel goal in a 7-1 win over the San Jose Sharks after Aliaksei Protas curled the puck back on a contested breakaway and Duhaime finished on his backhand. Duhaime reacted modestly, smiling and playfully shoving Protas while telling him to "stop that" as cameras followed. A fan's post on X noted Duhaime's mock unhappiness at taking credit and called Protas a god to him. Teammates recalled Duhaime's longtime admiration for Protas, with Dylan Strome describing Duhaime as Protas's biggest fan and Connor McMichael praising Duhaime's consistently high energy.
