NHL Discussion (Other than Jets)

It dont matter.

Sure it does. He's disrespectful, immature and downright jerkish. That sort of douchebag behaviour and piss-poor attitude has no place in pro sports, especially during a handshake after a playoff game. Not to mention his "celebratory" bicep flexing and taking his stick to another player's genitals. He then utters threats like some kind of psycho after his team lost and then calls out Weise and Emelin for saying something about it, resorting to name-calling and some lame attempt at saying they should've left it on the ice. Give me a break.

Milan Lucic needs to grow up. Being a sore loser to the extent his has been only makes him look bad in all of this.

Looks like Shero and Bylsma are gone:

I started reading then it all just turned to Blah Blah Blah  :p      In the end this sport is all about the entertainment factor and Lucic has entertained me

I for one do not find it a big deal. He told Emilin and Weise he was gunning for them next season. There is nothing wrong with that at all. He is a power forward that hits and he is going to hit them very hard when he has the opportunity. Multiple players went nut happy these playoffs, Markov and Perry amoung them.......Lucic is just a trend setter.

I'm a big fan of Lucic, however, the bag check from behind and the threats while shaking hands doesn't look all that good on the big guy. Take your loss like a man and keep your mouth shut if you have nothing good to say when shaking hands. Then when next year rolls around and you still have some anger and hatred towards a particular player just inform him of it on the ice.

And Weise should have taken the high road and not said a thing about it. Telling the media you were threatened doesn't look good on ya. Just deal with it next year. And if the time comes you have to drop the gloves with Lucic just get in close and hang on. Weise is big enough to at least protect himself. This is a mans game, don't look to the media & fans for empathy.

Weise said he was threatened? The interviews I saw he said he wasn't going to say what was said.

Ah Weise did take the high road. Can't blame him for nothing even afterwards. Lucic is a knob and it should have been known if it wasn't already. Don't' wrap whatever Weise did into this crap. IT'S ALL Lulu being the anything here.

You're right. I have since read that a certain reporter admits to reading too much into Weise post game comments. Weise alluded to the fact comments were said and that Lucic could have shown more class like Thornton.

Nothing drastic there, but a "no comment" would have sufficed rather than a subtle last poke at a angry bear thru the media.

a bah humm bug

Well, the Ducks forgot to show up tonight. Yikes.

[New_Earth_Mud]

Weise should have not said anything about what a player told him on the ice.

Lucic is an idiot for opening his mouth.

Both these guys need to learn to not comment on things said on ice.

Sorry, but "heat of battle" and "unwritten code of what is said on the ice" is dumb.  These are grown men playing a professional sport for millions of dollars. Wanna be a jerk and and take a chance at destroying your earning potential, knock yourself out.  But don't be upset when you get outed. 

His comments had no place on the ice or off.  The game was over, there was nothing at stake, he was just bitter about losing and lashed out at someone that was less of a "star" thinking he is better than Weiss, and its Weiss's job to take that kind of crap from him.  Sorry, it isn't anyone's job to take that abuse.  He needs to find a more appropriate outlet for his anger. 

As to the whole Cowbell incident earlier, sorry, but that defines Lucic for me.  Regardless any on ice heroics he may perform, my thought of him will be that whacking of an unsuspecting opponent in the genitals when his back is turned.  The epitome of both classlessness and cowardice.

Hahaha... The Habs.

oops....montreal forget there was a game today

I never mentioned any heat of the battle.

Players say crap to each other all the time. Most are just smart enuff to not mention it.

You sure seem concerned about that player's junk. I have to wonder if Lucic had high sticked the guy if you would be as upset. I'm certainly not defending Lucic but he wasn't the first to do that and he won't be the last but you're acting like he's the only one to ever do it.
