I agree. It wasn’t necessary to defend that play. I fully believe he was looking for some payback with a big hit. Don’t think he was looking to head shot tho. Is what it is.It looked like a bad hit the first time i saw, no replay of it has changed my mind. Still surprised it got a playoff game suspension though.
who are you the new Osprey? You make it seem like he flew at him with his chicken wing and leveled him with a career ender.Maybe if Doughty wouldn't have taken a stupid, angry headshot Kings would have a shot at game 2. If they blow this series, you can thank him.
I get it, dude was pissed they were down a goal in the first game of the playoffs in the 3rd period. He didn't have to blatantly take his frustrations out on Carriers head. Doughty is a loose cannon and a menace to society.
He's lucky he only got suspended for 1 game.
Did you not see the play? I mean, it's possible he was aiming for the shoulder, but between me and you, Doughty hit him in the f***ing head....hard.who are you the new Osprey? You make it seem like he flew at him with his chicken wing and leveled him with a career ender.
It was just a coincidence that happened to be Carrier skating down the ice with his head up his ass and Doughty was in the perfect position to level him. He would've and should've done the same no matter who it was.I agree. It wasn’t necessary to defend that play. I fully believe he was looking for some payback with a big hit.

um ok...Did you not see the play? I mean, it's possible he was aiming for the shoulder, but between me and you, Doughty hit him in the ****ing head....hard.
You can't argue facts, so don't even try. With that said, I think it was unintentional. He meant to level him, but not in the head.
He needs to be put in the corner for a game because he was a bad boy.
Wow what a great post that adds so much to the conversation. Thanks for that insightful comment.um ok...
Ditto, very helpfulWow what a great post that adds so much to the conversation. Thanks for that insightful comment.
Not going to lie, i am considering dropping hockey with how inconsistent the refs have been and this stupid suspension.Quick is going to have to be amazing tomorrow for the Kings to win. 3-4 goals would be nice too.
Still pissed off about the suspension. I don't agree at all. This just ruins the series and the playoffs for me. Haven't even watched hockey today.
That's cool, man. I've watched ~30 years of NHL hockey too as a lifelong Kings fan. Doughty is one of my all-time favorite players. I love the Kings, but I try not to watch every game through Kings-colored glasses.I thought it would be farther from earth.
That's one of the softest calls I've seen in 30 years of NHL hockey. I've read your take on it through this thread and I'm having a hard time taking you seriously.

Is Carrier at least out for the series or something?

You're entitled to your opinions. That's why we come to these boards. I've noticed over the past year how this board has been take over by overly argumentative posters who resort to attacking another poster's intelligence. I have to stop reading half of these threads because they end up with two or three posters yapping back and forth as if they know everything there is to know about hockey.
I'm just out here contributing my opinions just like you.
A headshot is a headshot. Accept it and move on.This board has been like that since it's creation.
I agree. Many posters on here state an opinion as a fact.
But how anyone thinks that awkward hit deserves a suspension... I just can't even relate on any level. if that's what equals a playoff suspension with no priors in today's NHL I'm not sure its the spectator sport for me anymore.
Even still, if you think doughty is a dirty or irresponsible player for that hit I just can't do the math on that. Sorry. Without that fire in his eyes he's no drew doughty.
You don't have to worry about it, your kind washes out quicklyI'm paid per post about as much as you are
And you've posted about 1000000000% more than me. I hope I never end up like you.
How long ya been doin this for?You don't have to worry about it, your kind washes out quickly
Unacceptable. I will move on, but not before disagreeing with the 3 kings fans on the planet that thought the suspension is warranted.A headshot is a headshot. Accept it and move on.
Watch the replay and remove any bias and you'll see the light.Unacceptable. I will move on, but not before disagreeing with the 3 kings fans on the planet that thought the suspension is warranted.
I've watched it.Watch the replay and remove any bias and you'll see the light.
So what part of that replay that you watched wasn't a headshot?I've watched it.
You are a part of a rebel alliance and a traitor. Take her away!
Well with those missing front teeth i'd probably think he was a crackhead and run.The ‘menace to society’ bit is what got me. If you saw drew on the street you would be fearful for your safety? Menace lol
