While I agree Bogo compares favorably with Bouque, I have Doughty pegged as a Brian Rafalski type when Doughty peaks.

How so?
He has plenty of time to prove me wrong, but in all honesty, I see him regressing on his performance this year instead of getting better, he walked into a pefect situation in LA where he saw alot of minutes, and thats about it.

Flapjack lost all credibility when he included Keith with Chara and Lidstrom. Keith is good but take the Blackhawk homer glasses off.
Careful, You're a "troll" if you don't proclaim Doughty the best young D in the game and a future Norris winner.When did a second pairing defenseman who plays the power play become a bad thing?
Theres nothing so far that says Doughty is the next Lidstrom, and from watching him, he has plenty to learn before anybody can put him in the class of the upper echelon of defenseman like Lidstrom, Chara, Keith, etc.
He wasnt even a finalist for the Calder, even with many here campaigning for him to be, HF writers included, while I predicted the final three correctly, stating it wasnt even close.
Bogo dominated in the NHL, Doughty was good, but wasnt even the best rookie defenseman last year, that being Bogo.But again, a second pairing defenseman isnt a bad thing.

He's right.While I think the rest of your assessments are fair (I may or may not agree), this
Proves that you either didn't watch him, are trolling, or are purposely bending the facts to your will.

(cues kings fans pointing out his MPG)
I'll counter that on a good team he never gets that many minutes because of all the rookie mistakes he made
He's right.
On a good team he is not getting all those minutes
I hope this is sarcasmI still see him as this era's Orr... I'm proud to have him on the Kings roster...

If Bogo had played a whole year, nobody would be talking about Doughty, but even in limited action Bogo made more of an impact, and Iam not knocking Doughty, I just think he isnt as special as Bogo, thats MHO.

When did people compare Bogosian to Bourque? Ive heard non-Kings fans compare Drew to him, but never Bogo.
And the only guy blatantly against Drew(in my eyes) him is Flapjack, and thats all that is needed to say. And he is one of the better D-men in the game, but not a Norris contender for a while.
And Kane, Toews, and Keith are in for BIG raises after NEXT season
Matt Foley-HFs Kings fan with rationality for the most part on Drew Doughtry.
How am I against Doughty by giving my opinion, an opinion that states hes a second pairing defenseman who should be a PP mainstay, comparing him to Rafalski, like thats a knock on him?
Somebody compared him to Orr, is that what you want to hear, or reality?

Bobby Ryan had more goals than your captain last year, in fewer games, at a fraction of the price.Randall, Ryan's a no count hack who had Getzlaf bank 30 goals off him.
Be gone you quacking troll. How you have not been booted off of HFBoards is beyond me.

But that's not the topic, is it?
How many Doughty games have you honestly watched? The kings defense improved by leaps and bounds and if don't think Doughty was a huge part of that you're a moron. Stepping in as an 18 your defenseman and playing at the level he displayed shows how elite this kid will be. Bashing on him for no good reason other than you have nothing better to do but piss off a bunch a kings fans is asinine.

Doughty is already one of the better defenseman at rushing the puck. Rafalski rarely did in his prime and he still doesn't.
Here's the problem with you Randell, you miss the point entirely. That's exactly the kind of crap you always invade Kings threads with. You are color blind with the black and orange and are about as interesting to talk to as stuffed mallard. Who gives a crap about Bobby Ryan or that you called him as a great player long before everyone else.
We know you hate Doughty because you hate everything Kings, right?
