Best feuds in hockey - Tkachuk vs. Doughty
Emily Kaplan: I'll take Drew Doughty vs. Matthew Tkachuk. Let's go over the cast: Tkachuk is the Calgary Flames' 19-year-old hot-shot winger (and, duh, son of Keith) who is getting a reputation as a guy who can score goals but also likes to stir things up. Doughty is the veteran Los Angeles Kings defenseman who has won two Stanley Cups and anchors a team that's trying to squeeze one last run out of big contracts. They're in the same division. And they don't like each other.
This budding saga began last season, when Tkachuk elbowed Doughty, then was slapped with a two-game suspension. The duo rekindled it earlier this month, when both players served penalties around the same time and began chirping at each other through the glass. Actually, they were standing up and screaming -- the type of shouting that the TV broadcast hones in on, then everyone on Twitter giggles with funny euphemisms for what is actually being said. (The Kings' official Twitter account posted the video with this caption: "Drew Doughty making postgame dinner plans with Matthew Tkachuk.")
