Drew Doughty finds mannequins as creepy as we do, fires pucks at them
Mannequins really freak me out for two reasons. First, somehow clothes always seem to fit them better than me. And second, I hate the way they stare, always judging you.
But my psychosis aside, I'm glad LA Kings defenseman Drew Doughty shares my disdain for these glorified clothes displays.

Taking aim with his newly released Easton hockey stick, Doughty lays waste to a trio of mannequins with some very well-placed shots.
Last season's Norris Trophy winner, Doughty netted 14 times for the Kings, the second highest total of his career. A do-it-all defenseman, teams have to be aware of him at all times on the ice as he's just as likely to deliver a crushing check on one end before jumping into the rush to finish off a wicked one-timer at the other.
And did anyone else notice the color scheme on those mannequins? They looked oddly familiar, like say a team out of the Windy City.
Doughty repping the 'A' on his sweater a sign of things to come?
Kings fans might also notice Doughty with the 'A' on his sweater as an alternate captain. After Anze Kopitar took over the captaincy from Dustin Brown this summer, there's been a lot of speculation about who would serve as the teams alternates. Did Easton and Doughty drop a hint here? You be the judge.
