Mancrush Of The Week: Drew Doughty



Mancrush Of The Week: Drew Doughty


This is LeTude's pick for her Mancrush of the Week. We have to agree that this is an excellent choice for a Mancrush.

Name
Drew Doughty



Age/DOB
20 / December 8, 1989


Team
Los Angeles Kings


Number
8



Position
Defenseman


Hometown
London, Ontario



Why He's A Mancrush



Drew is attractive to some girls but not to all. And LeTude is an example of that. She loves Drew for how amazing he is.

Like his flying puck save to keep it in the zone.


Or his amazing ability to score about every damn game.

And how funny he is.

He's unflappable, nothing bothers him when he has the puck. He always makes the right decisions when the opposition is bearing down on him.

It's so much fun watching him work it on the blueline.

As the year progressed, we saw more and more of Drew Doughty playing the important minutes. We guess that it helped that his defensive partner most of the time was Rob Scuderi but still, Drew was out on the ice all the time.


During the playoffs, Drew was a force. Although the Kings didn't get out of the first round, it didn't matter. Drew was amazing to watch even though he was injured.

We love Drew Doughty because he plays like a veteran, has confidence with the puck and doesn't make bad decisions.

Mom! Nashville's Imploding Again

The adorable and hilarious Dan Ellis was shipped off to Montreal along with Dustin Boyd for Sergei Kostitsyn and future considerations.

Lame!

We demand a re-vote.

Literally two seconds later, Bob McKenzie published this How will Ellis, Price play alongside each other? article.

And the craziness hasn't stopped.

The Oilers keep shaking shit up. They placed Ethan Moreau, Robert Nilsson and Patrick O'Sullivan.

Buyouts!

Not to be outdone, the Canucks have made an offer to Shane O'Brien despite his awful allergy to hard work and training.

And of course, our dear friend Bob makes us feel better and shows us how it's done. July 1st is going to be insane.

NHL Bad Boys Club: Episode Two

Episode Two: Confrontations Are Everywhere


It's Sean Avery's idea to go out to a bar.

The boys have been in the house for one week and have been getting along pretty well so far. Each one has been given a job to do to keep them busy and out of trouble for a while at least.

Shea and Dion are working at a soup kitchen.

Pat has been driving a delivery car for Domino's Pizza.


Mike is helping out at a life counselor's office.

Carey was forced to be a window model for Men's Warehouse.

Brooks has been working as a hairdresser.

And dear Sean has been the den mother to the boys. With the help of Pierre McGuire of course.


After a week of working and being business-like, Sean convinces them to go out on the town on Saturday night.


A limousine picked them up at the house and the first place they stopped at was a strip club only a few blocks down.

That was supposed to be the first place but it ended up being the only place they went to.

The seven of them get a big table and then the liquor starts flowing and they start getting up in each other's faces and yelling.

Then, Pat stands up to dance. And all hell breaks loose.

Dion is on the end and he wants to dance too, why should Patty have all the fun? But he misjudges the distance between him and another club goer and smashes into them. His drink goes flying and you get the picture.

The tan and dark-haired man pushes Dion back and yells full in the face, "Watch where you're going Frankenstein."

Shea stands up and gets in the Jersey Shore man's face, "Who do you think you are? I'll cut you."



A punch is thrown and then it's bedlam. Arms are flying, words are being yelled. A table is knocked over and people are screaming.

Then the fight is carried outside.

And Officer Toews is there to take care of shit. He shoots two bullets in the air and yells, "Alright bitches, let's break this up!"

He separates the men hitting and kicking and biting each other and throws Dion, Shea and the man up against the wall.


Pierre McGuire steps in suddenly and whispers sweet nothings in Officer Toews's ear until only the Jersey Shore man is put in handcuffs.


Pat takes that opportunity to start talking to Officer Toews, giving him the 'nod' and asking what he's doing out on a Saturday night.


Officer Toews just stares blankly at Pat.


Back at the house, Brooks Laich has had enough.

Pat's stuff is everywhere. He leaves wet towels on the bathroom floor and underwear in the hallway.

The last straw for Brooks is when he finds the shirt and pants that Pat was wearing out at the topless bar hanging off the banister.


"Kane! Where the fuck are you?! I'm going to eat your soul and shit it out if you don't pick up your shit!"

Pat comes stumbling out of his room, bleary-eyed and half-asleep. "What the-" but he barely gets any words out before throwing his clothes at his face.

"I may kill you! Take your stuff into your room!" Brooks is launching anything he can reach in Pat's general direction.


He doesn't move.

While this is going down, Mike is appalled. His soft nature has him scurrying into the kitchen to avoid the confrontation in the upstairs hallway.

But there is another confrontation happening in the kitchen.

Shea and Dion are sitting at the island in the kitchen, watching as Carey preens in the microwave door.

"You know that there are other goaltenders that are better than him, right?" Shea is talking as loud as he can to Dion.

Dion smirks, "Duh. I mean, no one wanted him in a trade. Useless weight."

Carey stills for a moment, listening to what they're saying. Then he turns around, "Uh I'm right here, I know you're talking about me."

That doesn't stop them.



"He doesn't work hard either, never had to. Fifth overall pick, never does much." Shea is still bitter that he went in the second round.

Dion takes up the bait, "Never worked a day in his life."

Carey sniffs indignantly, "I know what working is. I used to work hard for my money as an exotic dancer."

The kitchen goes silent.

Stay tuned for next week's Episode Three.

When the rest of the house finds out Carey's secret and the argument between Brooks and Pat goes Chernobyl.
