That hit Drew didn't look good and it's a huge blow to the defense now.The reason I kept preaching about the Kings needing another top 4 defensemen just in case of injury.I hope someone steps up.
 
Doughty has no concussion history so hopefully he's OK. He looked ok but with the concussion protocol he went right to the room.

Got popped a few games into the 11-12 season.

In case of injury, to anyone not named Doughty.
 
Any video of it yet? Edmonton fans think it was because Doughtys head was down.
Technically his head was down but it was down the entire play. He didn't suddenly drop it. It was down already and Maroon chose that as the primary point of contact.

No one the Kings could trade for would ever replace Doughty, but having another top 4 defensemen could help patch the defense until Doughty for instance comes back.
 
i quit after seeing someone comment that the oilers should "target that shoulder" after kopitar got jammed

real easy to run your mouth behind a keyboard

You don't think the players themselves aren't thinking that? Why do we get upper or lower body injuries? That's basic sports. Attack at the weak point.
 
Was hoping it was the typical Doughty sell job but unfortunately it doesn't look like he was doing that.
 
Yeah I went over to their board expecting to hear the tired lines about Bettman and the refs hating them but they know it wasn't a good hit. The debate seems to be about the number of games for a suspension, given that Maroon isn't a repeat offender.

That's fair on their part.

Yeah, it would be ideal, but it's a cap league, and every other team is looking for that same top 4 defenseman.

Can the kings score a couple on this awful PK to put the game away, please? Or they going to fail against this awful PK and let Edmonton steal the game?
