Player Discussion Milan Lucic V.2.0

[Belieber]

No such thing as too long when you have cap retention and so many ways to move a player in the final years.

Worth the cap hit this season for sure.

Member all those times booyakasha would crap all over Lucic?


Pffft.

Huge night for a huge game

 

[Mr Positive]

Lucic will be worth every penny of his deal, for every year of his deal.

A few members of this board have a problem with short memories.

Just remember that this is the kind of swing you get out of Lucic in big game situations, not in ~November when they've got 5 months of hockey to go before playoffs.

Awesome performance by Milan Lucic. Hat-trick, Natural hat-trick, and a fight. It would've been the ultimate performance if he had an assist.

Makes me wonder....did anyone achieved all three possible hat-tricks (Hat-trick, Natural hat-trick, and Gordie Howe hat-trick) in a same NHL game?

I was hoping you would have the stones to admit you were wrong, but that's kind of like hoping for world peace, a nice idea, but it just ain't happenin'

 

[Tyrolean]

Amazing change, He was crap for the first 50 games though. Well deserved criticism then. Good for the team he is on form now.

 

[Up the Irons]

still too long.

by "too long", do you mean the term is not ideal, or do you mean we should not have signed him?

if the former, I agree with you, but not the latter.

still say, if we get 3 good seasons out of him, 2 decent, and the last two he's an anchor..... worth it.

Major exaggeration.

 

[The Hound]

Still love it, he's only 28. I was a big fan of him during his Boston days so I was pretty excited when he signed. A little disappointed him and McD couldn't work. Curious to see what kind of intensity he brings during the postseason, he has a good playoff record, with two finals (one cup).

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Todd's comments were interesting about how Lucic just now bleeds Oilers colours. Took him some time to adapt.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Also worth nothing that Lucic is 26th in LW scoring from mostly 2nd line minutes. Add in that he brings an element no other top 6 forward in the league can replicate, as well as cup experience and veteran leadership, it was absolutely a solid signing.


How long did we beg to have someone who can stand in front of the net and outmuscle the D for a goal?

Outmuscle? Most D don't even go near Lucic!

 

[shoop]

There shoulda been poll options for people who changed their minds.

I'm much happier with the deal then I was during the Christmas break, for example.

maybe you should crawl out from under your rock once in awhile..

now you can go away agfain and hide.

This guy cried after every game how bad Lucic was, what a horrible contract, yadda, yadda....... someone calls him out on it and he calls them a troll.....

Its quite sad actually.

I voiced concern when he was bad, ...and he was when I posted at the time.
sorry if your feelings get hurt when someone questions the play of your favourite player...grow a thicker skin if you're on a message board.

It's called preventative maintenance.



I've been on the Looch wagon since day 1. Nothing changing my mind about the man.

 

[JayE]

Lucic did have some very poor stretches this season, but judgement should have always been reserved for the stretch run and playoffs.
