Sens fans are really the worst. If you try to make any sort of argument against one of their players, they act like you ****ed their wife.

**** the main boards. **** the Sens. **** Karlsson. That is all.
-sigh-
There's literally no one in the world that I don't hate right now...
Sens fans and EK woshippers are really something. Karlsson losing a poll to Doughty and they lose their ****.
"Seeing Doughty win this poll pisses me off"
"Your opinion is wrong"
"You'd be crazy to take Doughty over Karlsson"
"Learn English"
I don't see the same hostility and absolutes coming from the other side. Frickin crybabies.

It's annoying not having a simple, catchall, elegant stat to measure defensive performance like you can use points to evaluate offensive production, because then the simple minded can't grasp a deeper, longer argument; even some of the national 'writers' just go "POINTS!" then drop the mic and walk off. Lazy lazy lazy.
And what the **** is wrong with this board? Why is any Kings fan even defending Doughty? His hardware and play on the big stage speaks for itself. Why waste your time responding to these ****tards? It amazes me how many of you post on the main board. Especially Doty. He posts this long, detailed response to get a single letter and emoji response. "K![]()

Look on the bright side. Your Blackhawks scored a goal last night with 0:03.6 left on the clock, averting a shutout. It was quite amusing looking at the crowd shots after that goal, as though they really had a chance from center ice to tie it up.
C'mon guys, why bother posting clips of Doughty making huge plays in the playoffs? We all know that the only thing that matters is regular season success and individual numbers. Screw elevating performance at a bigger stage, you know, something Karlsson and Sens fans aren't familiar with.
I mean some of their fans are calling him underrated. Now that's now delusional.
Discussions like these are why people make fun of HFBoards outside this site. This isn't close. It hasn't been for several years. Doughty is a top-5 defenceman in this league. Be proud of it.
Stop trying to compare him to Karlsson, he is not, and will likely never be, as dominant as Karlsson is night in and night out.
People are going to call me a homer for saying that, and if that helps them, I'm cool with it. But I watch a TON of Kings games, and I love me some Doughty. But to pretend that Doughty would have the impact that Karlsson has with that roster in front of him is crazy.
And if you're one of the people that likes to pretend that Karlsson is bad at defence (he isn't, and that argument doesn't even make sense), that still doesn't matter. The production gap between them is enough that Karlsson would have to be like Jared Cowen defensively for Doughty to be the clear winner here.
Come on.
I just fall back on the simple fact that Doughty had more first place votes last year and if Karlsson wasn't king of being 2nd banana, he wouldn't have gotten the trophy last season.
