Oh God, I wasn't even on HF and Canadians were pissed that Bergeron made it over St. Louis...
Now he's one of the safest bets aside from Toews and Crosby to make it.

Loved that scenario w/ Nash b/c it symbolized several important things.
1. I play on a top line in this league, too. Deal w/ it, big boy.
2. I don't care how much money you make or how many goals you score. If you touch the puck, I'll run you over. If you don't like it? I'll give you the bonus plan, and turn you into a human speed bag in front of millions of people, hotshot.
He may not make it. However the fact he's not operating under that notion himself, speaks to why I never worry a/b Milan Lucic, his work ethic, and desire to win. That's what got him here in the first place. The thought of him pancaking Russians, Finns, and Swedes in the Olympics is hilarious. The thought of him pancaking dudes wearing red, white, and blue? Well, mixed emotions. Like watching Bin Laden go over a cliff in my M3.
If he makes it, it's b/c there are few players in this game as intimidating on the forecheck. Where he's underrated, even by B's fans, is he possess the ability to burn you when that intimidation, one way or another, bares black vulcanized rubber fruit.

Good luck moving that guy out of the crease! Carey won't even see the pucks until he's fishing them out of the net! Imagine the pain defensemen around league will be feeling when that guy is bearing down on them at the end boards!
All jokes aside, Big Buff carries double (at least) extra baggage around than that and he seems to make out just fine.

It's just funny considering the subject of this thread. Don't take it like a stab.

Ahhh, so that's how Haggs is still getting in behind the scenes
Hiding under Lucic's shirt. Makes sense

I've questioned this before because I saw it live and Lucic was noticeably shorter so I don't know.

Looch is like the Hulk, he's got a spinal thing where he curves forward at the top as he's walking and his head is buried between his shoulders. That he's 6-4 when stretched out doesn't surprise me. But I'm 6-1+, and it seems like he's only a little taller up close.
Though I'd love it if he did, I can't see him making the team. I think Marchand has a better chance of making the team.
I heard you say that before but at that time,he looked a good 4 inches shorter than Ortiz live.

maybe Ortiz's height is fudged down a bit?
Zetterberg is listed at 5'11
Look at Lucic's chin relative to his shoulders, then do the same with Zetterberg.

Pretty much. I think it's safe to say that whether he's 6'1 or 6'4 we'd all Hjalmarsson ourselves if he had to go into the corner against him

I see Lucic being on the cusp, and his story is about rising to the occasion and beating the odds.
Other teams are playing tougher, and you can't discount the intimidation factor either.
Yzerman will look for a mix of skill, speed, strength and puck sense for the players, it's not necessarily the best that will make it.
I'm hoping both Lucic and Bergeron make the team.

Agree, that does not look good. Hope it's just a bad picture or something.
He likes dat Mexican Lasagna.

LUCIC KNOWN AS BOSTON'S BOB MCKENZIE
Lucic has earned the comparison for a number of reasons. For one, he seems to have a scouting report on every player in the league filed away in his brain. Also, he is knowledgeable about the history of the game. But, mostly, he can recite statistics on command.
"I think [Bruins coach] Claude [Julien] may even throw some statistics out, which Looch corrects him on," said Marchand. "He knows everything and you just don't want to argue with him when he speaks."
"He loves stats – and not just in hockey," said Julien. "It's in football, it's in baseball. He just really likes stats. Every once in a while, you kind of look at him after you say something stats-wise to see if he's disagreeing or agreeing. It's almost like the [Dustin Hoffman character in the 1988 movie] Rain Man."
