GDT: GM#57 LA Kings vs Pittsburgh Penguins @4:00

What did Quick do when the entire team didn't show up in Games 1 and 2 against the Sharks?

Doughty needs to stop getting his shot blocked.

Doughty getting his shot blocked is the least of the kings problems.

We have guys like toffoli and Pearson and forbort playing like Ass but to blame this team for sucking because drew isn't showing what they think is leadership is beyond Pejorative Slured.

Doughty is having a Norris finalist year while playing with forbort ffs. God forbid he wants to win games.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The effort level by this team has been so putrid. Doughty still shows he cares. So does Quick. Not sure about a good majority of the others. Toffoli has been one of the most disappointing performers the last few seasons.

If he’s going to keep playing this way, I’d rather they deal him for two additional forwards who can add to the team depth, like when they flipped Bernie Nicholls for Tomas Sandstrom and Tony Granato.

 

[Winger23]

How is a immature,whining and complaining alternate captain going on a Canadian radio show and throwing your teammates under the bus saying he only wants to be on a contender or he'll leave?Thats leadership?You think he learned his lesson right?Hell no,he goes back on another media site and repeats the same thing.He can't hold anyone accountable until he fixes his own behavior.He's a hypocrite and other than his talent he isn't a role model or leader.

If you can't tell that was sending a message to management that he's wanting them to improve to compete and not rebuild I don't know what else to say.

He showed leadership tonight by playing his balls off that last shift. He he damn well can hold his teammates for taking that shift off. It was unacceptable.

Oh so Quick has never acted like a big baby before? Quick has hissyfits all the time. Doughty can be too open to the media, but hes been straight forward his whole career about who he is. I think there's shit he shouldn't say, but it doesn't make him any less of a leader by being honest.

 

[Nodoughtyboutit]

Wow, I came back in here to see what you guys thought about the game. And I'm surprised that Doughty is the topic.

I love his passion and maybe it wasn't the most "mature" thing to do at the end of the game I've never questioned Doughtys need to win at any cost.

It's funny because it seems like our players can't win. Either Kopitar is too nonchalant or Doughty is too firey. All I care about is winning and what's best for the Kings and since he was drafted Doughty has been nothing but a stud for us.

That or trade him for a draft pick

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Put Toffoli next to McDavid and he might pot 40.

Just don't make him handle the puck anywhere outside the offensive zone.

I'm pretty for trading him at this point but maybe Carter coming back will have the same effect.

No, no, no, no, no. Doughty is part of the issue, not the issue. I hope Doughty attacks every teammate for the crap effort they show. He is the most talented guy, and he does care. Do it in the room though. That's it. I hope he brings the arena in Pittsburgh down with the heat of a thousands suns because his teammates are beneath him. Just in the room. That's all. Not that he's too emotional, and not that he takes any chance of a Cup with him when he finally gets away from this sinking ship. Just not with the public tantrums. Hold that for the room, and then go nuts.

What's puzzling to me is his board work used to be phenomenal. It's like all of a sudden he doesn't want to work hard anymore, and without Carter there to create space he's useless.

Fair enough about keeping it in the locker room. This is the first time I've seen him show emotions towards his teammates, maybe a heat in the moment in shock thing like wtf are you guys doing?

They have tried to do that, and we do nothing but blame Lombardi for trying it.

Isn't Quick famous for not doing it at his teammates? They say he's always pissed at himself.

To be honest, I don't care how he plays with carter back. I don't want a player who doesn't try.

 

[Winger23]

They did? I don't remember players outright say they need outside help?

And yes, quick always redirects anger at himself but I think the point is he's thrown tantrums as well, he just says the right boring things to the media all the time.

 

[KingsFan7824]

He got paid. Every guy that has gotten paid since the Cups has had a down season months after signing the contract. Except Gaborik. He went the opposite way.

Fair enough about keeping it in the locker room. This is the first time I've seen him show emotions towards his teammates, maybe a heat in the moment in shock thing like wtf are you guys doing?

And I completely get that. They're in a playoff race, and they should all be going hard with a few seconds left on the clock. Just hold it for the room. Nobody needs to see it. Forget the fans, we're meaningless. Other teams don't need to see that. They don't need to see you get rattled like that. It doesn't help when Quick does it either.

His 7 million dollar salary is unacceptable when you don't score in 19 games.Dought is the last player to be holding anyone accountable.His actions on the radio show and again on another interview saying he leave unless the Kings are a Contender is showing leadership.The immature temper tantrums on the ice get old.And his whining does as well.He's a hypocrite if he is demanding accountability when he needs to take a step back and pump the brakes and look in the mirror at his behavior and his lack of scoring.

 

[Nodoughtyboutit]

I wonder if Toffoli is playing hurt right now. It felt that way with Kopitar last year.

 

[deaderhead28]

Williams,Stoll,Brown,Kopi and the many other leaders with letters and without never blame others.The difference of true leaders and Doughty.

some world class spin to take what he said as "i'll leave unless the kings are contenders". you're taking a few words from the middle of a blurb and blowing it up. he said he doesn't want to go through it and he's proud of ownership for trusting them to get it done.

besides

""The biggest change in his game for me has probably been leadership," Stevens said. "He's taken a really active role. Sometimes guys change a little bit where they're a little more outspoken in the [dressing] room and it's uncomfortable for them."

"Stevens said that the increased leadership responsibilities have not been a burden.

"If anything, it's only enhanced his play," Stevens said. "He still takes great pride in defending. He can control the game because he has the puck a lot. He's really been a big proponent of our philosophy of trying to play faster in the neutral zone.""

You can't be serious?Comparing Wuicks few outbursts compared to Doughtys?Lol If Doughty isn't complaining to the Ref's he's whining,if he isn't whining he's outing out like a immature child breaking his stick.No leader should be wearing a letter acting like he does.

 

[KingsFan7824]

They did? I don't remember players outright say they need outside help?

Management tried to keep a winner going, and Lombardi lost his job because all of the players on this roster didn't come through at one time or another. Consistently. Doughty pulls more of his weight than most, or anyone, but if you want to call your teammates out, and justifiably, do it in the room.

Few ?? Lol. Okay.

Lol What is Stevens going to say about the Kings franchise top 4 defensemen if not the best defensive defensemen that their trying to resign this summer lol.You don't need to listen to Stevens bs fans about Doughtys leadership when you can see it with your own eyes on tv during the games.He's a baby.

Oh gotcha, it's because he's not scoring. How dare he play 30 min a night with a pylon like forbort and get pissed at his teammates for giving up on a shift when he's doing everything he can.

He's one of the few earning his paycheck this year, whether you hate his antics or not.

I'm willing to bet you are too young to have ever seen Gretzky play live. You think drew whines a lot? Gretzky was 3 times worse constantly whining to the refs. Suppose you'd want to have traded him too.

 

[deaderhead28]

Few ?? Lol. Okay.

You got to be kidding right?Anyone with a tv can tell you that Doughty has had more outbursts,Whine fest to the Ref's and complaining then Quick has ever had.Its ridiculous to say otherwise.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Of all the silly things I've seen about this game, measuring Doughty's worth in goals might be the funniest.
