Milan Lucic

What are your thoughts on him? I think he is already a great hockey player for his young age, I mean he throws his body around and gets into fights and he's only 19. I think he will become one of the great Bruins.

i think he still has more to prove before we start throwing him in with "great" bruins. but he deffinitely has shown heart thusfar in his young career.

One of the things about Lucic that makes him so valuable is that he is able and willing to play a number of roles. If a guy like Kane isn't scoring then he's not doing shit for you, but Lucic can contribute without needing points on the score sheet. He can move up and down the lines seamlessly, and that's one of the things that impressed me when he was in the 'dub - his heart and his willingness to what it takes to help the team win.

Sounds like you've seen him in a G-Men uniform too. He sure made it worth the price of admission most nights, eh? And even when he didn't get on the scoresheet too.

Looks like he has a ton of potential. Decent hands to boot. The only knock I've heard is his skating.

[djinferno 2]

hes pretty good, at his age hes already in a man's body...

I think he is a great player and a very good fighter with alot of potential, the only thing he needs to work on in my opinion is his skating.

Lucic suffers from Scheuermann's disease, a condition that causes the upper back to curve. I think this causes his skating not to be as good.

i could see lucic becoming a player like a sean avery, one of those guys that gets under your skin but can play too. He is a very solid, young player and gives the Bruins a bit of an edge that they need in todays game.

I dont think he will end up like Avery because he dosen't trash talk much and he just not one of those agitator types.

I Agree. He just goes out there and gives 110% on every single shift.

Him and Komisarek went at each other hard tonight. One of the more physical games I've seen in a while.

He's gonna be good...is a Cam Neely comparison fair...? Maybe not as many goals as Cam...but he's damn good

I don't think his hands will be as good as Cam's, but they do play a similar game. He will be fun to keep an eye on the next few years as he develops.

Vancouver hockey teams have a habit of giving up awesome players to Boston don't we?

[mickz 107]

Lucic vs Bell

Probably his most dominant fight in the NHL so far.

And he isn't nearly the skater that Cam was.

Love his game and attitude so far. He's only going to keep improving.

It might be interesting this afternoon w/Lucic and Downie on the ice at the same time.

Right on! I have a feeling Lucic will destroy Downie.

[EBondo 233]

You got your wish, though it wasn't nice and legal like.

Now Lucic's gone after trying to hit Smith.

His skating technique and speed have improved vastly since the beginning of the season. Milan looks better every game, and that is no joke. And he is starting to find his niche and produce offense on a somewhat regular basis to boot. He is going to be something to watch in the future, guaranteed.
