CALGARY — Thanks to his comments slagging Matthew Tkachuk earlier in the day, Flames fans spent Monday evening booing Drew Doughty every time he touched the puck.No, not just because he heaped a healthy dose of support behind Mark Giordano’s Norris Trophy chase. But because without Doughty’s colourful criticism to spice up the night, the paying public populating the ‘Dome may have had a case for a full refund.
As Doughty suggested in an exclusive chat with Sportsnet following the morning skate, “sometimes he’s successful,” in getting him off his game.Doughty refused comment after the game, while Tkachuk shrugged off Doughty’s early claim that he has no respect for Tkachuk, before adding he believes “most” people around the league share his opinion.
Add a pair of Kings to the growing list of those who believe the historic season being pieced together by Giordano should be recognized by the Professional Hockey Writers Association as such. “They’re amazing at the offensive side of the game. None of us are even close to them — well, we’re close, but we don’t have their offensive upside. But they don’t have even close to our defensive upside. I would want Giordano on my team before I’d want those points guys.”
