**** 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...

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.
 
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.

Winning polls is all they've got, because they sure as **** aren't winning anything else.

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.

EK is all theyve got. trying to reason with a Sens fan is like trying to have a conversation with a loaf of bread, just doesnt work.
 
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 :laugh: :facepalm:."

They go for points because that about all the every makes the stat line. And they can't be bothered to watch a game in the Pac time zone.

I ask myself the same thing and I post there all the time. theres only so much blatant homerism I can take before I start to get mad. I know better and I know its the internet, but its like how willfully ignorant can a person be? Sens fans have a penchant for taking that ignorance to the next level for some reason
 
"Name something Doughty is elite at."

*names several things*

"Nuh uh."

*posts several stats to back said items up and some videos to help support*

"Psh, any of the top d-men can do that. Points!" Drops mic and leaves.

Repeat ad nauseum for 5000 posts, goes and bumps one of the other two echo chamber threads because they fell off page 1. Sprinkle in some "AINEC," awful player comparisons, and drivebys by folks who don't even know how to read time on ice.

Both goals on hockey's biggest stage.





Doughty could be a 60+ point player if he cheated on defense. He's one of the smartest players in the game.

That's the only bright spot for me right now. If the Hawks did actually tie it up from center ice...:tvhappy:
 
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.

the ridiculous thing is that Karlsson himself hasn't even really been BAD in the playoffs, but since the comparison with Doughty is obviously waaaay closer when you bring that into the equation (aka no more "30 point gap")...it's glossed over
 
I mean some of their fans are calling him underrated. Now that's now delusional.

It's not as bad as this gem I found.

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.

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Apparently defending a player who's far from overrated means you're the reason this site is a joke.

Let's put it this way, there's a fanboy on youtube who puts together compilations of other defensemen making mistakes to pump Karlsson. That should tell you a lot.
 
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.

not that it matters at this point, but i can't help but think that if the Kings squeeze into the playoffs last year Doughty wins it. Being left off several ballots entirely is just mind-blowing.
