It might be one of the most hate-filled rivalries in the NHL. L.A.'s Drew Doughty and Calgary's Matthew Tkachuk seem to love hating each other, and take every chance they get to trade barbs in the media. As their two teams got set to square off again Saturday night, Doughty did not waste an opportunity to get another few choice words in about his rival.
"A guy that kind of thinks he's really good but isn't," said Doughty when asked about Tkachuk. "Ya know, pisses me off on the ice to be honest."
Despite constantly talking about him, Doughty insists he's "over" Tkachuk.
"To be honest, he thinks he's something and he's not even getting close to anything I've done in my career, so that's the way I look at it."
Doughty may have won the individual battle Saturday night, scoring a goal and an assist in the Kings-Flames game while Tkachuk was kept off the scoresheet. Tkachuk won the war, though as Calgary pulled out a 4-3 victory.
