Drew Doughty incident

[LT]

Is he trying to body slam Timo Meier before the slash? Whatever that was definitely looks like it deserves a bit of a tap.

Probably just caught him in a sensitive spot. The tantrums are a Doughty trademark.

Not much to see here, really.

 

[JoVel]

Doesn't need to be a hard hit in that area to hurt a lot. That said, Doughty probably would've had the same reaction if he got hit in the skate blade.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

Doughty's a tool, news at 11:00.

 

[King'sPawn]

Doughty sold it, and I'm a Kings fan.

Love him as a player, but hate these antics.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Come on Doughty! JFC.

I'll usually be the first to defend a guy saying getting hit with a stick hurts but this is ridiculous. Is he wearing the same broken shin pads I wore playing peewee hockey in 1976? You'd think he got shot with an elephant gun ffs.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Throwing a tantrum got him a Norris. He is just evolving his craft.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Doughty is a terrific player, but he comes across as very entitled. It’s okay for him, but when someone else does something it’s worth yelling at an official about?

At some point doesn’t saying things like this get embarrassing for you?

 

[Tryblot]

I ****ing hate Drew Doughty because of **** like this and his infamous tantrums.

Well I hope you feel the same way about Subban because the shit he pulls is a lot more annoying.

I think it goes beyond entitlement; I think it's just an issue of immaturity.

 

[Sojourn]

Also possible. I have the same issue with Getzlaf when he gets bitchy when things don’t go his way. You just want them to shut up and play, you know? They’re fantastic players. Suck it up and get back to the game. Your teams need you. And I say this as an Anaheim fan.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Whether it hurt or not, he definitely sold it looking for a call. Glad the refs didn't bite.

Suprised that the refs didn't. Well done zebras.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

And he wonders why he didn’t get the C lol

 

[SjMilhouse]

There was a thread and it was locked because it was pointless, much like this one

 

[WesMcCauley]

Lol at people defending him. Even if that slash did hurt, there's no doubt that he completely overreacted. Guys get whacked like that all the time and don't react like this.

He got hit right on the side of his knee though. Horrible spot to get slashed and it hurts like hell because of where it was. It probably was very painfull for 5-10 minutes.
Could easily be a minor penalty just like all the other slashes that are ignored during a normal game could be called.

 

[BeastoftheEast85]

I don’t get why people say classless Subbans, should be classless Doughtys.

 

[tarheelhockey]

I can imagine how that could’ve caught him in the space where there’s nothing but a hockey sock for protection. That’s right where that cluster of muscles and tendons comes together behind the knee, so it probably gave him a dead leg for a moment. Not a surprise that he thought he had been injured, he had no way to know how much damage was done.

Doughty’s a meathead, so it also doesn’t surprise me that he would find time to yell at the refs through whatever pain or fear he was experiencing.

Not comparable to Neymar, not a dive, not a major cheapshot. It’s hockey and guys are fired up, this stuff will happen.

 

[heynowbababooey]

4 doughty claps for that dive.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Doughty sold it, and I'm a Kings fan.

Love him as a player, but hate these antics.

I actually think it was extremely painfull for him for a couple minutes. Side of the knee is a spot that hurts a lot to get slashed at.
Im not a Kings fan but it could easily been called a minor slashing penalty because it was a slash.
With that said, slashes like that happens 100 times every game and get ignored, but because of the spot he got slashed it was very painfull for a short time.

 

[Tkachuky]

Amazing player but what a lousy p***y. Can’t wait for chucky to face him

 

[Prairie Habs]

What are the chances Cherry calls him out tonight on CC? Less than zero?

I don't disagree. I'm sure it actually hurt.

But I think he also exaggerated the degree of trauma he felt.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

I was genuinely worried about Doughty when he was rolling on the ice in pain.

 

[HanSolo]

Uhh I'm a little stunned to see people bring up that that's a painful unpadded part of the body. While technically correct, if the amount of force delivered in that slash was enough to cause THAT amount of pain, maybe this isn't the game for him.

Definitely Neymar'd everyone there.
