Thoughts on this? I feel this tournament is so arbitrary and stupid that I don’t want Doughty risking another injury and potentially the rest of the season.
There’s always an inherent risk of injury, whether its practice or game. Doughty would be going as the 5/6D and his workload won’t be that bad (usually gets 25+ in a NHL game) since Makar – Toews, Morrissey – Theodore will likely play more minutes.
If it gets his competitive spirit up, I think it’s probably ok.
Normally I’d say I don’t want him playing but since he hasn’t played at all this season it would be good to get him back into real time game shape. He would get reduced minutes but any time spent playing would get him back up to speed.
Pietreanglo has backed out of the tournament, so there is a solid chance they will take Doughty depending on his play in next five games
Tired of people saying the tournament is arbitrary or it’ll “risk injury”. It’s a fun little all star tournament to show off all the top talent. What’s 4 (if they even make it to the final) extra games to the 82 regular season. It’ll be fine the injury risk is tiny. And personally would love to see all the talent in one place vs all scatter shot across the league. Personally I love the idea and these dudes are just grumpy pessimists.
Doughty can do whatever he wants. Obviously, we don’t want him to get injured, but he’s a legend. If he wants to play, he can play
Oh we knew that since it was announced, and I figured that’s the only reason he’s pushing so hard to get back.
