Is Milan Lucic shrinking now too?

[SpitfireIX]

Always find it funny how misinformation often comes in to play when it comes to height and weight listings. Lucic is 6'3 sure he only scored 27 pts but don't make him shrink too, even the tsn page lists him at 6'3 why does this writer choose to make him 6'1. https://www.tsn.ca/lucic-i-still-have-a-lot-to-give-1.1050438

"At 6'1 and 235 pounds, it's no secret that Lucic has struggled at times with the pace of the current NHL, something that he admits himself."

He's a grower not a shower, ok?

People naturally shrink as they age. Looch is a little young for it to happen to someone in perfect health, but we don't really know the state of his health.

He has some back disorder, so maybe he's developing more a of hunch.

Looch has Scheuermann's Disease.

If it wasn't for this he'd probably be closer to 6'4 or 6'5

 

[JarvisFunk]

Yeah he has a condition that would completely explain this

 

[oobga]

Just to fuel the conversation

No wonder he's only 6'1" now, he has no feet!

Thanks. That explains why he would lose height prematurely.

It explains why he could lose height prematurely. I don't think it explains why one tsn reporter has different numbers than every other source.

Bad/lazy research department? Maybe those were the measurements for Looch from his time with Boston or LA and they aren't using the updated numbers from the Oilers?

The Hunchback of Notre Dame was actually 6'8" at one time.

No it's hands that he's missing.

I heard that when you get dehydrated you shrink exactly 2 inches. There is your expert medical opinion. Lucic needs to drink more water and take his vitamins and he will be 6-3 again.

There is hope for next season after all.

According to Dr. Tom Brady, drinking water prevents sun burns too, so you're killing two birds with one stone.
