I don't understand Thachuk response to the wack fest between him and Doughty. Both get a slash in (mind you doughty's was better), then Doughty drops his stick to square off and Thachuk freezes. I understand it drew a penalty but Thachuk didn't know at that the time... even the announcers thought that it was going to coincidental. It is not like he decided not to fight Lucic or Reaves, Doughty in his weight class with less fighting experience. And it might been the boost the team needed at a perfect time. And then top that off with the comments made by Doughty to the media.
