Dewyisms

[Little Psycho]

This is a guy who, on his first trip to Los Angeles, just after being drafted, waded into the Pacific Ocean with his street clothes on, losing his cellphone and his wallet in the surf. His parents had to wire money to someone in the Kings’ front office.

“It was just chaos,†says Doughty, who volunteers the story. “That’s one of my first L.A. memories, losing all my stuff on the beach.â€

These moments are common enough to be known as “Dewy-isms.â€

The time when the boys were talking about fly-fishing and Doughty thought it meant dropping a line from a low-flying plane? That’s a Dewyism. When the Kings’ charter was turning over Catalina Island and Quick told him it was Hawaii and Doughty believed him? That’s a Dewyism.

Even in our conversation, Doughty couldn’t remember where the Toronto Maple Leafs used to play (“Maple Leaf Gardens?†I offer) or when we were talking about his role as a youth ambassador for McDonald’s and he spoke about the responsibility he feels because he remembers the impact meeting his first NHLer had on him. “Who did you meet?†I ask. “This is sad,†he says. “I don’t remember who it was. I have to ask my mom.†So Dewy.

Great article. A lot of good quotes from ex-teammates!

No one has more fun than Drew Doughty

Gold. This is main board stuff. Somebody would probably talk about how he's classless because he doesn't take the game seriously enough though.

Yeah, I was reading that during the post game and spit out my drink

Fantastic read, very down-to-earth article reflecting a down-to-earth guy.

Also interesting to me that Doughty is just one of those freak, always-in-shape guys Ray Bourque style. Like, you wouldn't know looking at the guy that he can play infinity minutes. Not that I wouldn't like him to do more!

If they ever remade Bill & Ted, they have to cast Drew Doughty and Trevor Lewis in their respective roles.

Awesome, lol

Of course, you have to speculate that with those brain farts he may actually be working at McDonald's if not for his God given talent.
