[Fazkovsky]

so he is a really good figher but what is his resume? Is it that impressive? Didn't Ben Eager do quite well vs him? Would Kevin do well against Lucic?

This isn't gonna end well...for starters the premise that he is a good fighter was incorrect...and lucic would eat him alive to answer your question.

Bieksa is 6 foot 200 pounds. He plays big but isn't really. Lucic is way too big for him given that he's also a really good fighter.

Against a guy like Lucic, no, he's not a good fighter...

But, he's a relatively small guy, and if he stays in his weight class and goes up against players of similar importance to their team (top 6 forward/top 4 d-man) hes a pretty good fighter.

People don't like him because they think he should fight guys like Lucic, or guys that are in the league primary bc of their fighting ability.

The Eager fight...Bieksa was way smaller, and Eager bearhugged him and body slammed him to the ice. I think Bieksa gives up at least 30+ pounds to Eager.

What would I say about his fight skills (at his peak, not now): he knew what he was doing with his fists, but was never a heavyweight or anything like that.
His class of fighters would be guys like Carcillo and Avery.

He's improved his cred a little with a few recent honourable scraps, but he's generally been known to turn down offers with like-sized opponents and slides over to grab smaller guys or guys less inclined to fight.

Asking whether he'd do well against Lucic is comparable to asking whether I would.

 

[LeanBeef]

He wouldnt do very well against Lucic... Against others his size he'll do fine.

The ducks will have Stewart to square up with Lucic
