About

Doughty Face is a photoshop meme featuring a picture of Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty from Game 1 of the 2012 NHL Western Conference Quarterfinals against the Vancouver Canucks. In the original picture, Doughy is looking upward and smiling while a scrum is ensuing at the net behind Doughty. Due to Doughty's silly face, the image became very exploitable and a massively popular on the annual HFBoard Playoff Photoshop thread.

Origin

Annually, HfBoards hosts a photoshop thread for the NHL Playoffs. Their work has caught the attention of a number of websites ^{[1] [2]}

The original picture can be found on page 19, post #468 in the 2012 Playoff Photoshop Thread (Part I) by user Little bunny Foo Foo ^[1]. The first Photoshop, albeit a sloppy one was posted by user elproducto 2 posts later ^[2].

Spread

The image was immediately exploited by HF users with hundreds of shops being posted in the thread. The Photoshop thread has reached it's post limit twice, now on part 3 of the epic thread.
