Drew Doughty incident

[SjMilhouse]

Why pointless?

He came back 5 minutes later and the slash was a light tap on the knee that likely just hit Doughty on a nerve.

I'm a little foggy on the whole rub one off at the end of the bench process. Does the trainer use his right or left hand?

 

[Lunatik]

Cannot confirm or deny if it was a dive. The slash might have just caught him in a really awkward spot.

Having said that. I first saw the slash talked about in a Facebook post and I was intrigued. Then....I saw the video and my first reaction was to roll my eyes.

That is what I thought when I saw it, looked like the heel caught just below the pants and maybe just above the knee pad.

So you don't think the total over-reaction and acting is thread worthy?

 

[Sparksrus3]

This is right there with the Mcsorley on Brashear slash

 

[Lyons71]

Mike Ribiero approves.

 

[KCC]

When you aren't expecting something like that it can hurt more than usual, especially if it hits a nerve. Going to assume that's what happened.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

If he acts like this for a little tap, what's he going to do if he genuinely gets slashed? Call for a stretcher?

It's a good thing literally no one ever slashes him or guns for him in any way whatsoever then.

I'm a Sharks fan and while I assume he sold it a bit, I also think he just happened to get hit right on a nerve. Sharks broadcasters told stories of getting hit in the same place and their leg going numb...I hate the Kings and felt they were embellishing all night but I don't see why that is thread worthy, yes

Waaaaaahhhh.... what a baby!! Somebody call the wahmbulance!

 

[Frosty415]

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

Says the guy that laughed at the thought of karlsson being a generational player, you’re one to talk.

I haven’t forgotten

Embarrassment

Got 'em

 

[Hockeyphysio]

Probably hit the peroneal nerve. Thats going to hurt

 

[ZZamboni]

Probably hit the peroneal nerve. Thats going to hurt

Yep ....

Or he just dove ...

Either one is plausible.

He’s not a generational player

 

[Anomie2029]

He may have been hit on a nerve...
... But to be honest, it looked like it got him closer to the front of the knee which the shin guard protects.

Putting that aside, the way he reacted was not how someone would react when getting a nerve hit. The carry on, the beating his fists against the ice, the swearing at officials, before getting assisted from the ice like it was a severe knee injury - only to then return a few minutes later when the Kings got a PP.

 

[snopro31]

That should be a 10 game suspension for diving

 

[The List Of Jericho]

I'm surprised there isn't a thread about this.



At first I was actually scared that he'd broken his leg or some ****. I was thinking he was going to be out for the season maybe not be able to play the same way ever again. The pain seemed so excruciating... And then he throws a temper tantrum in the middle of having had his leg broken, and then I see the replay. What a dive.

It was one of the most blatant cases of embellishment I have ever seen, It was like Neymar in the world cup final bad. Such a lack of class.I just don't even know what to say.

Honestly I hate the **** that has happened to soccer. It's a great sport that is a little tarnished and i'd hate to see it happen to hockey too. I think this should be finable .

Did you ever overdramtize that title...he caught a slash that may or may not have been embellished.....uh....Go Leafs Go!!

Exposed, gotem

 

[Unspecified]

Doughty channeling his inner James Neal on that gem. Pads these days extend to the sides of the knee and that is where this devastating tap landed, what a p***y.

 

[do0glas]

If couture did that...

Dive, plain and simple.

 

[BLNY]

That doesn't even qualify as a love tap. I've seen sticks move faster on guys simply skating up ice. Furthermore, he caught Doughty flush on the side, where there's plenty of padding.

There was all manner of foul being ignored by officials on that shift, including the blatant tackle Doughty put on Meier that resulted in the play under scrutiny.

Drew should have received a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
