Actually...Lucic threw his gloves in Vandemeers face and then threw 2 punches as Vandemeer was dropping his gloves. Typical Lucic....gotta get a couple of cheap punches in before the other guy is ready.
I've never seen Lucic drop the gloves fairly with anybody and then square off with the other guy....he always either throws the gloves in his opponents face and then hits him or he drops his gloves and throws punches before the other guy knows he's in a fight.
I guess he needs that element of surprise to help him out.
Vandermeer is one of my favorite scrappers.
Too bad he's 'just' 6'1'' otherwise I think he would be a great heavyweight. He still doesnt mind to go toe to toe with them but he lacks reach.
Lucic looked gassed so this bout was not really fair, I think.
I've heard people say this but I disagree, I didn't think Vandermeer did anything in that initial exchange. Lucic hung on there because he was at the end of his shift, good on Vandermeer to give him a second to catch his breath but that wasn't because of a punch.i meant Vandermeer stunned Lucic. It looks like Lucic was stunned and Vandy held up on firing more shots until Lucic was all together. Watching it with the sound now even Homer Jack said Lucic was shaking off the cob webs.
Either way a real good fight by two guys throwin bombs.
Of course he didhe gave up 3 inches and a few pounds but definitely held his own

Slight edge to Lucic despite being gassed from a long shift, if they fight again and Looch isn't bagged, he will lay a beating on Vandermeer. For further proof, check out the 2nd fight between Chris Neil and Lucic, it was an exhibition game, Neil got carved up real good, he hasn't gone near Lucic since.
IMO Lucic didn't want to fight and ask to stop at the start of the fight. IMO he don't want to break his hand or something in a fight who mean nothing. Sorry folk this guy is the Bruins top scorer, The Bruins can't let him fight and risk going in the playoff without him.
We get it, you're very sensitive when it comes to PK, now stop trolling.Actually...Lucic threw his gloves in Vandemeers face and then threw 2 punches as Vandemeer was dropping his gloves. Typical Lucic....gotta get a couple of cheap punches in before the other guy is ready.

Not that I necessarily disagree, but how does the fact that Lucic beat Neil in their 2nd fight prove that he would do the same the Vandermeer in the event of a rematch?
I think Lucic knows that he could have done better and the 2nd time around he would take care of business. Early in his career he took a beating from both Erskine and Gleason, in the rematch against both he did well. The funny thing with Lucic is he fights best when coming to the aid of a teammate, he has given some real beatdowns in these situations, including the Neil beating where he was paying him back for a cheapshot on Savard. He also pounded another guy this past exhibition season who took a run at Horton, not that Horton can't handle himself.
