Lucic will have likely have hearing for hit on Joseph (upd: fined $10,000)

[PhoenyX]

Get this guy outta the league already. Enough is enough!

 

[Master P]

I wonder if Joseph has pulled his Dora panties out of his arse crack yet after cowering like a beaten dog!

so having a giant plug sit on top of you is cowering? Lmao

Plug or not Joseph is still probably trying to clean his shorts after thinking the end was near, and I for one loved every minute of seeing that big ass plug rag doll that little weasel around!!!

Yeah, I doubt he was cowering all that much, he was snickering at the Oilers giving up an extended power play.

He was back in his safe place on the bench...why wouldn't he be smiling?

He got what he deserved

Idiocracy has come to life in this thread.

 

[Crede777]

That has never worked, and will never work.

Players are crappy judges - worse so in the moment, all charged up on emotion. It simply isn't the path to proper enforcement or safety. Your solution would simply favor the team that employs more goons willing to cross the line the farthest.

The league should be in charge of discipline. Any player who attempts to usurp that authority ought to be disciplined - as would be the case in virtually any other sport.

I would agree if it wasn’t obvious how much the league misses in terms of discipline. The players only step in when the league itself fails to protect them. Lucic’s actions are as much a message to the league as it is to the Tampa players - if you want to protect Joseph, put him in the box for hitting Russell from behind. Or better yet, crackdown on games early so they don’t get out of hand. If the refs let borderline hits go or miss them, someone is going to get hurt.

This is why I feel fighting is an important aspect of player safety. What Lucic did was more dangerous than if he had simply fought Joseph. But if you remove fighting, the only recourse players will have in seeking retribution for an unjust play is to hit the player in open ice.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Very clever and relevant to the thread topic. Another sensational contribution by the Tampa brethren.


This actually is an interesting point, I can understand this view. I guess the deciding factor is he did not headshot him, could have obliterated him but didn't, and just gave him the business afterwards, did not actually throw a flurry of punches or anything. Kinda swatted him once I suppose.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Cower: to shrink away for shelter from something that menaces, domineers, or dismays.

[God King Fudge]

Man. I think we can all congratulate the Oilers for winning the "we scared someone lol" trophy. Last thing they'll win in the next decade.

 

[Critical13]

I got you fam

Surprised he didn't get 5 and a game for that hit

How many times are you going to use this joke in this thread? I've only read two pages and you've used it twice already. Is there one of these hidden on every page?

 

[Master P]

Epic.
Quentisential coward.

lmao how is he being a coward? For not throwing punches while he's down?

 

[Kevs Security]

Lucic is like a brother to me but I hate his current form, can't do anything with guys like Drai and McD feeding him every night. Glad he did something for his team here. Let's not kid ourselves, Joseph shouldn't be in the NHL with those antics. Lucic did good here.

 

[MNRube]

God people in Edmonton are so tough.

 

[Sugi21]

Here’s what happens when Lucic faces guys his size and know how to fight!!!! Lol

 

[VinikToWinIt]

What’s with this weird Oiler inferiority complex? You guys ever been sat on by a fat***?

 

[Leafidelity]

Lucic is such scum. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching him get the full Oilers experience

It true, the cold ass weather has that affect.
