That next Neely thing is, next to the ankle injury, the worst thing to happen to Lucic. Totally unrealistic. Let him be Cool Hand Looch.
If you think this kid does nothing but fight and be violent, you don't understand the game. No one on the Bruins - and few guys in the league - lay the body, retrieve the puck, and put a pass neatly onto a skilled player's stick as well as Lucic when he's healthy and on his game. He's a human puck retrieval system when his legs allow him to get where he needs to go. Like any player, he's only as good as skating will allow, and right now, he's skating at about 85%. That means he's not getting the same number of opportunities to make game-changing plays with the body. But - a week ago he was at 80%. Also, watch his instincts around the net. He's not finding the range, but he gets the puck up quickly and with zip. That's why they'd consider him for the Olympic team, not his fists.
So - to everyone who chucks out these shots about "toothless morons" who must only like Lucic for his big hits and full on fights - maybe you should look at what's actually happening on the ice because it seems like you're missing a good game (well...not lately if you're watching the Bruins...but you get the point). -

Lucic is amazingly overrated by Bruins fans. That said, I wouldn't give up on him at this point in any Kovalchuk deal, especially since I doubt the Bruins can get him to sign a contract extension.
He could be a very good player. Not even close to being the "next Cam Neely", but a solid 2-3 liner. -

bookboy, what do coaches preach from peeewee to batams, SKATE, and LUCIC CANT i rest my case... HE WILL BE THIS TYPE OF PLAYER FOREVER NO UPSIDE, OK when he is feeling better 100% you think he will be skating better, its the same sluggish one way up and down, no smarts and/or creativity god stop defending somone who can only do one good thing, not in todays league or talent pool that is setting the stardard in winnig games/cups , ie caps, hawks, pitts -

When Lucic first came here he was trying his all out hardest to make a name for himself as a tough fighting young gun..Now, he has his money and is more concerned about his looks, his jewelry, and only fights once in a blue moon!
A BUM! -

I like the passion of Bruins' fans... but knee-jerk panic posts like this about Lucic are pathetic. Let me see, the guy is the heart and soul of the team last year... he mixed things up and scored around 20 goals... now that he has had an injury and is off his game people are screaming about how needs to be traded.
I'd pay to see what these neurotic fantasy-league fans would do as GM of the team. No doubt they would make trades on a weekly basis like Phil Esposito did with the Rangers back in the 80s. It wouldn't work, but boy would it make them feel as if they're doing something... anything... -

Rocket, more kudos on another excellent post.
I, too, sit in the Balcony and am equally repulsed by the people you so eloquently identified.
Its actually re-assuring to read your post and so many others from Bruins fans who don't pay to go to a Fight and watch a Hockey game break out.
I really believe we are the silent majority.
Look at all the teeth :) -

Gees i guess all you negative Lucic posters didn't read that Yzerman was considering him for team Canada. Yeah he is sh#tty player isn't he. I guess Yzerman knows nothing about hockey.
His problem has been lack of icetime supplied by Julien. -

If you can't appreciate what this kid brings to the game, you don't know hockey - and you sure as hell shouldn't be a Bruins fan
There's not another one like him in the NHL, be happy he's on our side

if i was yzerman i reconsider, seriously this guy does not deserver 4 min a year or whatever he got... i see him on the 4th line maybe 3rd line wing with limited ice time, when they need an emotional life : ))) -

BTW, apologies for the North Shore remark. Thats home to the absolute most dedicated excellent hockey fans. Unfortunately it has a disproportionate amount of the stereotypical slobs you described so well.
The North Shore is the Epicenter of Greater Boston Hockey....for better and (in some cases) for worse -

Wow whats wrong with you guys. He's only 21. he'll be worth every penny . He has had a severe high ankle sprain, which can take a year to heal. He had a bad finger injury. That may never be the same. He said he couldn't fight until at least the new year. I know its Feb now, but I'm sure he's not even close to 100%. Give him a break, I'm sure he came back too early, just to try and help, and he's looked bad I know, but don't kill him for it! -

i said at the beginning of the week julien is killing these kids that are suppose to be our cornerstones for years to come....i got killed myself for saying this then there 50 posts that half say lucic should be gone.....julien doesnt look at players as individuals, the talent they bring to the table & formulate a gameplan from that......you are goin to play the system the way the system is meant to be played.....lucics strongest part of the game is the forecheck,knocking people off the puck & making them know his presence is there everytime they go back to get the puck...that is not part of the system....these future cornerstones are not progressing under the great tuteludge of the great claude julien,its sickening & if you all want to live off juliens jack adams award from last year quit your bit**ing,lucics doin what hes told -

All you people beg for passion, hits, fights etc. Now you say his style is too wreckless and will only lead to more injuries. Well which is it? Lets' bring back Stumpel and Czerkawski. That was fun. He really had someone lined up when his skate caught that rut in the ice! -

By the way, I don't think it was Lucic who compared himself to Cam Neely, so lets' give that a rest. Neely was my favorite Bruin of all time, but he was awful when he was Lucic's age! Give the kid time and let him carve his own niche!
