I wasn't giving Doan a pass because he's captain of a sympathetic team - frankly, since I'm in Boston and am admittedly a moderately myopic Bruins fan in terms of most of the hockey info I consume, I only get to see him twice a year.
I was giving him a pass on this one, isolated incident. He got a penalty, which was called properly. (Seriously, that's rare here. Our newest phenom got his stick broken on a faceoff with a slash tonight, and nada.)
And during the penalty, Doan mouthed a tiny bit at a fan. I've seen worse - Andy Ference telling the Habs fans that they were "number one" using not his first, second, fourth, or fifth digits. Lucic making the motions of churning butter near his waist. That's over the line, and I don't condone either of what they did.
But hell, Doan didn't seem to do much of anything - at least in that clip. If anything, he made the Red Wings fan's night. I'd never be brave enough to shout really bad stuff at a player (after all, if I'm near the box, I paid damn good money for the tickets, and I'm not leaving), but if I did shout something either stupid or clever at P.K. Subban or Chris Kreider while they were in the penalty box, it would make my night to have them shout back - so long as security isn't hauling me off.
