Drew Doughty incident

[SirClintonPortis]

Not very good optics for Doughty. I mean, a nerve? You're probably hitting a tree trunk thick quad muscle there, padding or no padding.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Exposed, gotem

You must be new here

 

[stampedingviking]

He’s not a generational player

Yes he is.

You know you are a fraud when you make Matthew Tkachuk look tough.

No. You know you're talking about a very intelligent number one D who won't let some punk's antics take him off of the ice for 5 valuable minutes.

Lets see Matthew try that tough guy act on Chara or big Buff, wonder why he hasn't? maybe because he knows Drew is marshmellow soft and all he does is whine and dive all over the place expecting the refs to bail him out.

 

[Brock Radunske]

I'm a little foggy on the whole rub one off at the end of the bench process. Does the trainer use his right or left hand?

He sits on his hand for a while and uses "the stranger"

Combination of two things here:

1. Doughty's acting ability
2. The slash catching him in a vulnerable non-padded spot. Knees are a weird area, especially when it comes to getting slashed.

There was a slash. He went down right away. Likely just a stunner. It can happen. Not a big deal. Glad he's fine.

Shades of Joe Thorton. Thank god there was no light saber involved this time.

Chara goes down pretty easily as well.

 

[Hennessy]

This isn't the hill to die on in the war against diving.

You realize that Doughty is nowhere near the sizw of two of the largest men to play the game right? Of course he wouldn't tangle with those two guys. This is not a good comparison.

Secondly, only Chara has logged as many minutes and is as vital to his team.

Lastly, it was an attack on Drew specifically trying to get him off of the ice and as I said he saw it for what it was and responded intelligently

 

[Deuce22]

Why pointless?

Because it's just Doughty being Doughty.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

0% chance that was a dive. Just got him in the right spot. You cannot fake that fall. Maybe he sold it after he hit the ice, but the slash was very real.

Wonder if Sharks fans forgot about this. Hmm.
