The Los Angeles Kings defender was asked about the status of his rivalry with the Flames' pest ahead of Tuesday's matchup, and he gave a blunt response.

"I think we both know who the better player is, so if he wants to compliment me first, I'll give him one back," Doughty said, per Kristen Anderson of the Calgary Sun.

Tkachuk was then asked if he respects Doughty and replied, "He's a good player and had a good career," according to Sportsnet's Eric Francis.

The two sides clash at 9:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday in Calgary.

All they will know is the joy of a slapshot, the grace of a goalie, and the unlimited potential of the St. Louis Blues in the postseason.”

Speaking of Dallas, Bishop has looked not so good thus far.

I saw Bill's question and thought, "boy that's a long story", but then read your answer and realized "ok, it's a short story." ...

Hintz was one of my must haves at the draft and I had him ready to go quite a few times but always pulled the trigger on someone else. Eventually it just got to the point where I was like , well if somebody grabs Hintz before my next pick, I’ll just holdout for Victor Olofsson instead. Wish I would have taken Hintz for sure but definitely glad to have drafted Olofsson.

People from Western Canada are conditioned to be brief. If they talk too long, their mouths freeze open.
