Doughty has 2 cups with him being a major factor. Karlsson can't get his team anywhere near the Cup.

I'll take Doughty and in fact Keith over Karlsson any day of the week

He was definitely a major factor in this year's playoffs. Too much Doughty, not enough Muzzin

Soooo Muzzin>Doughty and Doughty>Karlsson then Muzzin>Karlsson. Got it.

I was only half joking, but the fact that you're even in a Senators blog defending Doughty's lifetime achievement award indicates that even the homerest of homers need to reassure themselves.
And if you're happy with the league's "best defenceman" and "major factor in multiple Cups" being -5 with 1 point in 5 playoff games and not even being the best D on his team, then I say more power to you

I'll take it! before I go, what was Karlsson's stat line in all the games he played in this years playoffs? Enjoy your Sens this season...

Amazing point, but EK basically had the same stats as DD despite not playing in the playoffs.... (And The Kings somehow missed the playoffs last year despite having the world's best defenceman and a vastly superior team than Karlsson has ever had around him, but let's just pretend that didn't happen, because it stomps all over your argument.) If you really want to LOL, you should look at the Karlsson vs Doughty head to head stats for the two times they played each other this year

Not to worry though, Canada will win the World Cup of Hockey in the fall and the Doughty lovers can reassure themselves that it is because he is so good

Amazing point, considering that when they play each the game is a 1v1 teams system and coaching styles has nothing to do with it. Enjoy the World Cup

I am fairly certain that you are just picking hockey words out of a dictionary and stringing them together, but if you actually meant to say that in the two games that LA/OTT played each other the reason the EK had a far greater impact than DD was because of systems and coaching, then I applaud you for going all in
