One thing Lucic can do is learn to control himself after he gets hit, even if it is dirty. This isn't the first time we've seen it. It's selfish to run a guy down because you're upset about being hit. The team has to kill off a 4 minute penalty. I didn't see Brian Campbell freak out when they called a total phantom hook on him after Bergeron stepped on the puck. And the B's promptly scored on the powerplay.
That said, I have no idea why it wasn't called. Plenty of time to see him, hit from behind square in the numbers, and Lucic went into the boards head first. Not the worst thing I've ever seen, but two minutes for sure.

Love Milans game, but he's got to show more discipline. He could have really hurt the team in that situation. Would have preferred seeing him wait until later and punished Weaver at a more oppurtune time, of course that's easy to say, sitting at home.

Careful Fletch, someone on here will take offense that you never played the game, and it was the response of a true hockey player, and that's real hockey ... WOW!!... totally agree with you... I like Lucic a lot and he brings a lot to the table, but seriously, Julien would not have like Lucic taking a retaliation penalty, especially a four minute job... and put the team in a spot. -

It was typical of Chris Lee. He is by far the worst Ref in the NHL.

BS! I bet if you're someone who can handle yourself on the ice you'd do the exact samething. With a hit like that it could've been serious & I'm extremely pleased that he had a reaction. There's such a thing as a selfish penalty, but that wasn't it! The 10 min misconduct was stupid. He had plenty of time to calm down & get back in the game to have a chat with Mr. Weaver. -

last 4 games Bos shanded 12 PP4 0PPG against 3PPG 1SHG
Boston also became the first and only team this year to go a complete game without a pp opportunnity.
I will be the first to say Luc pound the mf then and now, shiiittte has been going on too long.
Retaliation takes the penalty but his team had his back, turning the other cheek has been going on to long, BRING BACK THE BEAR!!!

What's with the whole macho reaction to this thing? I played hockey for a long time and took plenty of dumb/selfish penalties, so I'm not saying I'm above it. But it was dumb. Lucic was fine, and that hit wasn't that bad. Two minutes tops. Sometimes the refs miss calls.
I'm fine with getting revenge, but why can't you be a little smarter about it? Take a number and light him up later in the game. Chasing a guy down and throwing a fit in front of the ref doesn't help anything. Do you honestly think Weaver would hesitate next time because of that? It wasn't effective, if you're looking for revenge or sending a message. All Lucic did was take 14 minutes of solo penalty time, over a marginal hit, while Weaver probably got high fives on the bench. It was dumb. Part of being tough is shaking yourself off after a hit instead of throwing a tantrum. Even if the hit was a little dirty.
I want Lucic to play tough, mean, and effective. To me, that reaction was none of those things.

Fletch, in Lucic's defense, there was quick series of things that lead to the explosion.He gets boarded, he's angry...
He sees "no call"....angrier
He gives a push to Weaver's back, who flops...sees red.
I understand why he is pissed off. Sure, I wish he demonstrated some restraint, but he didn't. I can live it. I like angry Lucic, he can be very effective when he plays with emotion.

Yeah, like I said, I've been there and I've done the same thing. But we've seen this a bunch of times from Lucic (Atlanta, Carolina, in recent years). My hope is that he plays just as tough and nasty, but a tad smarter as he gets older. Today was dumb. And again, I'm not just talking about the penalties either -- it wasn't effective in terms of sending a message or punishing Weaver either. It really didn't accomplish anything. I'm obviously a big Lucic fan, I just didn't think the hit was that bad and I thought his reaction hurt the team. -

If Lucic got hurt - which he easily could have - we would have expected someone to go after Weaver. He didn't, so he did it himself.
I wouldn't downplay a crosscheck from behind that launches a player face first into the boards. It was a dirty hit in my book.

There was plenty of time left. He's supposed to continue play -- take a number -- then sit for a 2 minute instigator penalty after punching the guys lights out sometime later in the game. -

The Florida feed..."a good, clean hit by Weaver". Good grief.
