Drew Doughty out month to month after fracturing ankle

[HabsMD97]

Well this a Marc Bergevin team so the kings are screwed. We've seen this story with Bergevin led teams way too many times. A crumbling injury to 1 star player resulting in a lost season because there is absolutely nothing to insulate the injured player.

The clip is literally talking about the Leafs

Dude steps outside in the Fall and is immediately angry.

The joke is that not even two full seasons ago their RHD depth was Doughty, Roy, Durzi, Faber, Spence, Clarke, Grans and now with Doughty out it's Spence-Clarke-Burroughs-move an LHD over.

Another Rob Blake masterclass.

Man talk about terrible asset management. If they even had one of them, Durzi or Walker or Faber or Roy i would say they could be fine but now am not so sure

Ow. Sorry to see Kings fans.

I guess thats the best news you could get in this situation. Its good that there was no further damage.

 

[GKJ]

I guess he needed ligaments fixed too

Thankfully Doughty's game isn't built on physical talents but hard not to wonder if this is the end for him as a league TOI leader elite #1 all situations guy.

Ouch, wish him a speedy recovery!

 

[Duder54]

I’m not a Kings fan in the slightest, but Doughty has always been one of my favourite players - hope he’s able to fully recover!

Sucks to get a big injury in the preseason

 

[kingsholygrail]

Not the first time we've been without Doughty for a significant chunk of the season.

 

[VeteranPresence]

Literal tough break, and in a critical season no less for not only the Kings but Blake/Robitaille. "Their" core needs to show they can take that next step with Byfield now earning the big bucks and Kopitar's career winding down. If they remain a one-and-done- or worse, miss the ploffs- their could be seismic change next off-season. You also hope Doughty doesn't have any lingering effects from this injury, but at his age that's an unfortunate reality a lot of the time.

 

[Sombastate]

I guess we're gonna see how good this Clarke guy is.

Always been a fan of Doughty as a player. I hope he recovers quickly, and also hope the Kings are in good hands until then. Never want to see a team's season derailed this early, especially due to injuries.
