Says Drew Doughty.
Quoting: LAKI
– When asked if he’d like someone brought in as a partner, Doughty quickly rejected that idea. He noted that he has loved playing with Mikey Anderson this season and feels that he and Anderson have made a great pairing. He went on to add that he doesn’t even feel that the defense necessarily needs any additions, stating that he likes the makeup of that unit when everyone was together and healthy.
“I don’t want someone, I like playing with Mikey Anderson, I love playing with Mikey Anderson. We’ve developed quite the partnership. I don’t think you need to bring anyone in to play with me, I don’t think you necessarily need to bring anyone in on defense, I think our defense is solid. I like our young guys, I like our middle of the pack, veteran guys. Obviously, we have to bring guys in, that’s not my job to make that decision, you guys can ask Blakey that.”
Doughty went on to complement Anderson both as a player and a partner, but also as a younger guy who was confident enough to speak his mind in the locker room. On a team where Anderson is amongst the youngest players, Doughty called him one of the most vocal individuals on the team already, and that says volumes about Anderson’s character at a young age.
“The one thing with Mikey is this guy is already talking in our dressing room, at intermissions and stuff like that. He’s already one of the more vocal, probably one of the top three most vocal guys on our team already. To say that about a guy like that, it’s basically unheard of. Mikey is a great pro already, he’s many years above what his age actually is.”
Doughty believes that he and Anderson clicked as a pairing, almost right away, and made it clear who his preferred partner is moving forward.
