Scotto74
taking a break
He's having a really solid regular season though. Last year, he had some prolonged stretches of very poor play, which he hasn't really had this year, which seemed to make tensions pretty high. I don't think a bad playoff performance would put him in the crosshairs. Lucic, on the other hand...
I disagree. Lucic has stepped it up in the playoffs. Marchand has been a no show for 3 stright years.
after the cup run Marchand has played 41 playoff games and has 5 goals and 10 assists over that three year period. so total 15 points
Lucic in the same 41 games 11 goals 18 assists - so total 29 points.
Lucic has been twice the player point wise in the playoffs since we won the cup.
Add to that Lucic leading the team to the game 7 comeback against the Leafs while marchand takes a stupid game 7 penalty spraying ice into Prices face to start the game and I would say marchand is and should be much more in the crosshairs then Lucic.
regular season means squat if you pull a no show when it counts.
