GDT: 2023-24 season game 45 LA Kings vs Buffalo Sabres @7:30pm 1/24/24

Doughty needs to shut the f*** up and tend to his own play.
Thats just great throw your teammates under the bus

Doughty can talk because he backed it up with 2 Cup wins!

What kind of a leader is Doughty to throw teammates under the bus when he’s part of the problem?

It was always a head scratcher when they gave him the A he's always been immature like that

He's not wrong. We've seen other team captain do it too, there's nothing wrong with it.

Hope Brown bought out the trash cans

He sure can talk

 

[bland]

I'd gladly take him on the Sens.

And your team perma-sucks, so it doesn't surprise me.

Nobody serious about winning values displaying skills when the play calls for simplicity.

 

[johnjm22]

I don't understand why people are criticizing these comments by Doughty.

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Fiala can easily be part of a winning team. He's trying too hard because the kings are plummeting toward total flatline. Give me that any day over the dispassionate losers and skill-free plugs in this deployment

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Didn't he say 6-7 years ago something like how he hated practice and purposely dogged it at practice?

 

[unicornpig]

Like others have stated it's most likely fiala, which doesn't make sense. He's not playing for a contract nor is he any where near any individual accolades or awards. That's just the way he plays

Absentee ownership is the reason this happened.

No owner or ownership group should ever have allowed what happened here to happen. Two unqualified buffoons gain control of an NHL organization, hire and promote all of their buddies and completely run it into the ground. This is where we are almost 7 years into Luc and Blake, and nobody at AEG seems to care.

You should post this message everywhere. I mean everywhere.

Its all talk allthe time

 

[Reaper45]

He's not wrong. We've seen other team captain do it too, there's nothing wrong with it.

So there have been lots of times captains or assistant captains have called out lots of guys in the room? He says lots of guys will speak up but lots of guys are more concerned with individual accolades as opposed to a team game. That is a leadership problem.

 

[Little Psycho]

I don’t have a problem with what Doughty said because no one else would have said it. The other guys need to step up, can’t rely on the old vets.

 

[kingsholygrail]

It's a great description of what we've seen since the celly game against Colorado. They build a lead and clock out.

 

[Live in the Now]

Someone has to say something. The things Todd says aren’t getting through, in that case your teams leaders have to say something. Even if Todd got fired, someone in the locker room has to call this team out. You can’t just go quietly into the night, keep losing games and show up at the arena and act like a good boy.

AEG probably thought everything was fine based on the start and not having a clue of all the roster holes and other issues we talk about. Now the whole rotting mess is exposed. So theyve only had about 3 weeks to actually sense how bad it is. They are probably meeting internally to come up with a plan and maybe search for an interim GM and coach.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Man props to drew for standing in there calmly answering a ton of questions trying to dig in for dirt haha

I thought he was great if not really self aware

 

[Shellz]

Doughtys words are fine he’s obviously all about the team and will always be.

 

[Little Psycho]

…….

 

[Sausages]

Back to FFWing games after a brief period of attractive hockey.

Bummer.

 

[dman3474]

Why get mad at drew? He’s actually speaking up, showing emotion. Maybe now that it’s getting out more some of the players will get it that they are f***ing up.

AEG is counting tickets at the door. No one there is completely hands on with the team and really most ownership groups are like that. It's a business. They won't start chopping heads until it hits the wallet.
