His remarks appeared to target the recent acquisition Pierre-Luc Dubois. <q>We got guys in this room too worried about themselves and worried about their points.</q> Doughty continued, highlighting that many people are more focused on their personal statistics that the organization's success. <q>We got a 3-1 lead tonight and guys start thinking it's a cookie night and stop playing the way we know how to play.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/helenenothelen/status/1750405662834827718?s=20'> </a></blockquote></div> Doughty also mentioned that he already mentionned these concerns multiple times throughout the season, but had only little effect. <h2>Kings Head Coach Makes Harsh Comments After Defeat</h2> The Kings' head coach Todd McLellan also expressed his disappointment with the game's outcome, attributing it to poor decision-making from certain players. <q>The stupidity that went into this loss is beyond explainable.</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLRussell/status/1749684311056695720'> </a></blockquote></div> He emphasized that the responsibility shouldn't fall solely on veteran players like Doughty and Anze Kopitar. McLellan stressed the need for younger players, specifically Dubois, to elevate their performance. Do you think the Kings are among the top teams in the NHL?
