Wouldn’t agree with Kings defenseman Drew Doughty’s assessment of the Kings’ 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks on Sunday night, but I can appreciate his pride in how well he and his teammates played in rallying three times to force OT and a shootout.

“I think we dominated the whole game,” Doughty said. “The only thing that is frustrating is we only get one point rather than two. We outplayed them. I think there’s no doubt in anybody’s mind about that. It (stinks) that we kind of had them if we won that game. We would have been only six points behind them and we had a chance to catch them, but we gave up the two to them and now it’s a little bit more difficult.”
