PhillipBlunt Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 The decision to attack another player like Lucic did to Sherwood was a horrible idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I like that, as Canucks fans, we should file an appeal and ask them to rescind the suspension. Calgary might appeal to have the suspension extended. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Never liked Lucic... this incident confirms my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanIsleNuckFan Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 What was anyone to expect, he received accolades for playing like this in Boston. He would have received a pat on the back if this happened there plus the announcers would have stated that you "Don't mess with our goalie arrgh!" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 He was an effective power forward but that style of play must have taken a lot of toll on his body. My guess is that he will be "retiring" (I mean go on the LTIR) as soon as next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that he will be "retiring" (I mean go on the LTIR) as soon as next season. Agreed, I think in his time he was a decent player, but his time has passed. Although, even when his skills were decent, his attitude on the ice was horrible and I'm so glad he never wore Canuck colours. He's truly a shell of his former self. I'd take Louie and his contract over Milan and his any day. Wonder if there is a lesson in that for GM's signing aging FA players...nah, it will still happen and there will continue to be albatross contracts out there. Too bad there are no minimum standards that have to be met to continue earning one's pay. Wonder if there will ever be a clause bargained that would allow teams to escape bad contracts if the player can't live up to them. Bit of a double edged sword I guess.

Monty Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I'm confused. I did the same thing last night in my rec league game. Which is non contact. Afterwards, everyone (and that includes the guy who hacked at the goalie to dislodge the puck) knew he shouldn't have, and what happened to him was nothing special. Just a shot to the chin while he fell against the boards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Oldtimers, it would get you tossed 99% of the time. In the NHL, the zebras are always concerned about affecting the outcome of games, which is why they gave Looch 4 minutes and Sherwood 2 for the "slash". I guarantee, if he hadn't been punched by Lucic, the dig by Sherwood isn't penalized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Considering how they're really trying to get head shots out of the game, an unprovoked sucker punch directly to the head should be severely judged. There was no reason for it either. He just snapped. Time for Lucic to hang 'em up, maybe the octagon is better suited for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like a dig in the pads to me...but it must be quite the league you play in where a blatant punch to the face isn't considered a penalty... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With goalies always difficult to come by, we want to make sure that they’re taken care of. We’ve got goalies between the ages of 35-50 in our league. The last thing they or anyone else needs is someone thinking that hacking at their hands is appropriate. So yeah, a punch to the face is pretty normal. As is the occasional fight.

That's interesting.....I've played all over BC and Alberta and I've never played in a Rec League that allows fighting....in fact, I'm pretty sure that Hockey Canada mandates a game misconduct for it. They must do things different in Manitoba.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
