Yeah perfectly said. It's like you lose power/support immediately and stings like a funny bone. But you don't Neymar your way thru it.
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 .
This is classic Doughty. He initiates the unsportsmanlike and dangerous conduct (here, body slamming Meier against the board wall); then, when the player gives it back to him, acts like the victim, trying to milk sympathy from the refs; then, when he doesn't get it, throws a tantrum. He takes no personal responsibility for what he initiates and expects the refs to call every retaliation. You would think that, if he hates the liberties that other players take with him and get away with, he'd stop taking liberties, himself. You rarely see players take liberties with Kopitar because 1) he doesn't take them, himself, and 2) players respect him. Doughty should work on earning the respect of the other players in the league rather than being consumed with receiving the respect of the refs.
Its like hitting your funny bone, you can barely bump it, but your arm goes numb.
Probably hurt like hell..
Yeah, I don't know why he mentioned Kopitar. It's just that Kopi is very hard to take down and he's not the type to sell it to the refs.Um, players always take liberties with kopitar, the dude is such an ox he just battles through them.
Doughty is my least favourite player in the league, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Looked like it caught him in an unpadded area.
yep guys with f***ed up knees and serious concussion issues. great time to live your senior yearsHockey players of this generation are such sissies. I miss the days when men played this game.

The skating during that game did more to degrade his knee health way more than that slash did.yep guys with ****ed up knees and serious concussion issues. great time to live your senior years

He didnt get hit in the back of the knee, he got hit in the side and that part has protection. There was no pain, slash was very soft. Sad embellishment to put his face on the ice and pound his hands
