Was this simply a moment to collect himself? Or Doughty's way of signaling that he understood what was happening to him.

The Snap Specs? Gone.
The footage? Gone.
As a sign of goodwill, NBC stepped up and gave the LA Kings social team a new pair of Snap Specs.
A wonderful gesture, but what happened to the glasses and the footage?
The American public has yet to see the Doughty Snap Specs film. Why? There are hundreds of documents that could help prove this conspiracy. Why are they being withheld or burned by the NHL? Each time my office or you the people have asked those questions, demanded crucial evidence, the answer from on high has always been "national security."
I've submitted dozens of requests to the NHL, but I know they will not offer me access to their records.
The league talks about transparency, yet questions remain unanswered with no signs of answers being handed over.
All these documents are yours. The people's property, you pay for it! But because the league considers you children who might be too disturbed or distressed to face this reality, you cannot see these documents for another 75 years.
I'm in my early thirties, so I'll have shuffled off this mortal coil by then, but I'm already telling my eight-year-old son to keep himself physically fit, so that one glorious January morning, in the year 2093, he can walk into the National Archives, and find out what the NHL and NBC knew!
They might even push it back then, hell it may become a generational affair, with questions passed down from father to son, mother to daughter, but someday, somewhere, somebody will find out the damn truth.
Then again, maybe this is just the case of a blogger looking for answers that aren't there.
Maybe the glasses simply got lost. Things get lost every day.
Maybe Doughty didn't hand them off, and just put them down on a table of things that got thrown away.
There probably is nothing, and this all got out of hand.
The glasses are gone and that's simply the end.
Then again...
