The Los Angeles Kings learned this the hard way after they handed Doughty their fancy Snapchat Spectacles to get some primo content from the ice at the 2018 All-Star Skills Competition.
When he came back without them, Emily Griganavicius and Michal Olszewski from the Kings social media team did what lots of people who lose valuables do. They put an ad on Craigslist.
The ad
reads:
Have You Seen Our Glasses?
Our boss said if we don't find our Snap Specs, we may as well not take our flight home.
Please help the LA Kings social team find their Snap Specs.
They were last seen with Drew Doughty when he came off the ice and handed them "to some person."
He told us today: "Yeah, that's a lost cause."
They gave Doughty the glasses to wear on Saturday so he could capture video with them for the team's Snapchat account. But when they saw that he took the ice without them, a member of the Kings public relations staff ran down to tell him to put the glasses back on. He'd left them on the bench. Forward Anze Kopitar was also tasked with making sure Doughty wore the specs.
Doughty put the glasses on and captured some footage, but when he came off the ice again, he handed them off to someone he didn't know.
"He spent about 20 minutes after the Skills Competition trying to find who he gave them to," Olszewski told NHL.com. "Then Sunday morning when we got back to the arena, we found Drew, asked them where they were, he said, 'Oh, let me go try to find the person.'"
Well, he didn't.
So the ad went up, and Griganavicius and Olszewski took full advantage of the royal blunder by razzing Doughty in tweets throughout the All-Star Game on Sunday.
