Bringing up the Boston series in the playoffs and using it as some justification to diminish Lucic (and the other Boston tough guys) is short-sighted and foolish.
The playoffs are a best-of-seven series.....win 4 games and send the other team packing. Teams cannot lose discipline in a short series that will not last for more than 7 games. Coaches know this. So do the players.
Now look at an 82 game season where one loss has significantly less impact on a team. It is easy for Lucic and company to send a message without regards to winning or losing the game.
Lucic will get his revenge against Weise and Emelin. If not from Lucic, it will be from one of his teammates.
Once Prust is taken from the game on a misconduct.......who's left?
The pacifists will surely complain loudly on the Main Board about the dirty Bruins when we play them and they take advantage of our team physically.
Enjoy it!!
Boston has attempted this in the past and gotten spanked for it. In fact, the whole reason we had a thirteen game winning streak against them is due to them constantly trying to goon it up with us and losing the actual game. Besides, Gallagher can just 'accidentally' fall on/over Rask a few times to get them to knock it off.
