Doughty calls out Canucks: embarrassing to lose 8-2 to “a team like that.”

[BlackDogg]

Proof. You can be confident and dumb at the same time.

H... Aters mad x24

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Man western Canada is going to hate doughty more than they hated kesler at the rate he is going.

 

[StreetHawk]

This is how I took it when saw the clip....

I don't think he was swiping the team in the sense the Canucks should not be able to beat em... Just the Canucks shouldn't have been able to put up a snowman on them like they did.

And he's kinda right.

I just hope the Canucks show this game wasn't a one off... show that depth and defensive scoring is a thing this yr. That way, next time the Canucks put up a 8 spot on the Kings this year, he won't be as discombobulated.

Agreed. Canucks are not TB.

And it’s more than just that game for DD. Lost in Edm despite getting gift wrapped 2 goals by smith. And blew a 3-0 lead which hurts their tie breaker which for them is more about making or not making the playoffs rather than just seeding.

Doesn’t want the rails to come off in week 1.

But deep down he knows the situation the kings are in.

Meanwhile, a fan will angrily type the same thing on these boards, but it’s okay. DD is frustrated and says the same thing, he’s in the wrong lol.

This is not so much about right or wrong as it is about him being an unlikeable weenus. It’s hilarious, not offensive.

 

[canadianmagpie]

why are you calm and rational? i don't like this

As I'm Canadian, I apologize.

The Kings are basically the Canucks in the 2013-15 era. Right off success where they were winning games by blowouts to losing more games than not, with some of the team not willing to accept that the team they're on a team that is no longer a cup contender. If it sounds reasonable, it's because I lived through those years just a little while ago.

Doughty shouldn't have implied that the Canucks aren't a good team as it's not a diplomatic way of putting it down. Yesterday's game was when the Canucks got the bounces (e.g. Miller's goal) and the Kings didn't. But he did call out his team for not playing well, even though it didn't help that anytime the Kings scored, the Canucks answered right back less than a couple minutes later in both goals. Quick was the main reason the Kings lost, but you can't call out your own goalie for being bad because the team will lose faith in him.

I love it, i wish there wasnt some weird rule that u had to win a cup or have elite production to talk **** without old media heads talking bad about you. Either way im glad Doughty has the creds and balls to bring some storylines into the league.

 

[SI90]

This guys such a clown and has no respect for anyone.

 

[redcard]

I'm genuinely curious how some of you manage to get through the grocery store checkout lines with all the tabloid papers in front of you.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Doughty seems to be either trolling or incensed. There is no middle ground with him.

Don't need to look too deep. He knows, he's just loses his shit a lot.

Do you think this rebuild is going to take a little bit longer than people thought?
“I think about it every day, but I really don’t know what to say,” Doughty said. “I don’t want to get myself in crap or anything. I just want to bring this team back to where we used to be and the past in the past. We’re a new team. We’re rebuilding. We’re going to be younger.
“We shouldn’t be surprised if we make trades this year. Whatever happens, happens. We just got to be better.”
Doughty doesn’t self-edit much. But the player who is appreciated for unflinching honesty was walking a linguistic tightrope on Friday.
There is the simple fact that the rebuild is going on, coinciding with the first year of his self-negotiated eight-year, $88 million contract extension.
“I signed here because I like being in L.A. and I want to make this team a Stanley Cup champion again, and that’s all I can say,” Doughty said.

'We shouldn't be surprised if we make trades': Drew Doughty...

 

[Little Psycho]

Man western Canada is going to hate doughty more than they hated kesler at the rate he is going.

 

[KingsHockey24]

People complain about the lack of emotion shown by the players and when someone days they get flamed for it.

Sounds about right.

 

[Kranix]

Doughty's a beauty, but this after saying the Kings have been **** for 4 year or whatever, and then they get drubbed 8-2 and he says the other team sucks...oh well
just emotional because he cares I guess

 

[Dirty Dan]

nooo u cant say that stuff mannn

 

[63 others]

Doughty is an douche.

And I like it

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Guy is hilarious and provides great sound bites

 

[Gil Gunderson]

lol why is this guy so jaded all the time?

 

[Canadienna]

Any chance he just meant a team like that ie. a divisional rival?

 

[Choralone]

Well I for one enjoyed watching the Queens get **** on and then having Nancy Drew throw a tantrum.

Ah yes, let's equate him and his team to women for a musty old misogynistic burn in the year of our lord 2019. Is that the best you can bring? Up your game - dig a little.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Reaaaaally wish the thread title was changed to match context instead of being clickbait intended to draw the wrong intention but maybe that's just me.

"Doughty calls out canucks" is absolute garbage, but I guess when the local media does it, it's hard to come up with your own interpretation...

 

[izzy]

i love doughty saying and doing whatever he wants

f***ing awesome

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

He is so finished with the LA team but stuck there.

 

[Fixxer]

I simply think he means that they shouldn't lose 8-2 against a team which is not IMO a cup contender or any close.

 

[Anomie2029]

I love to dislike Doughty, but realistically there is nothing wrong with his statement.

I think to quote "a team like that" is placing misplaced emphasis - rather it should be we shouldn't "lose 8-2 to a team" like that.
