Ghostsof1915 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I don't recall Lucic acting this way as a Vancouver Giant. He certainly was more mature when the Giants lost in the playoffs, and eventually won the Memorial Cup. He also didn't resort to hacking a guy in the privates. I think he's a victim of believing everything the press and fans tell him in Boston. It's ok to hate to lose. You may not like the guy you're playing against. But the lineup and handshake after a playoff series its tradition, and it supposed to show the best of hockey players. Not the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Our love-hate relationship with Lucic is ridiculous. One of the best ever from Vancouver. Deserves way more respect than what we've shown. Absolutely loved him as a Giant. You could tell he was going to be a horse. Silly the Canucks passed on him considering he was in their backyard and all. Hate the Bruins though. So I'm part of the love-hate relationship as well I guess. He deserves exactly the amount of respect he shows for the game, which is none. The guy's a disgrace to the city and I can't wait until his career is ended by either a lifetime ban or a serious injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 King Heffy, Milan Lucic may be a meathead of the highest degree and somewhat of a douche, but he is not a disgrace to the city. He hasn't done anything to warrant that. He got in a bar fight downtown.....like that doesn't happen a hundred times a week. He beat the Canucks as a member of the Boston Bruins. They drafted him and developed his talent. Did he get away with a lot of garbage after the whistle? Sure. However, if you want to blame anyone for that, blame the referees. He loves Vancouver and returns here every off season. Not exactly a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbanks Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 At least he admitted to losing his cool and that it wasn't the best way to handle it, but man, he certainly won't be the next Iginla, Linden, or Smyth, that's for sure.yeah he wont be , hes already a champion...

I like the chip on his shoulder he has. It inevitably gets him in trouble (and clearly unwanted attention when going back home), but someone's gotta have character. People who wish for career ending injuries on players just because they play for rival teams are the REAL disgrace. Makes the rest of us here at CDC look like a bunch of cretins. But it's so edgy! "Just wish he'd DIE!" Damn, I'm cool now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm proud to be from the same city as a piece of garbage that headshots goalies, spears people in the nuts, and threatens opponents in the handshake line... The city would be better off if he kept his pathetic arse out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMexico Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 He was drafted by our recent Saviour GM Jim Benning...I would like to hear if Benning would take him back... I have never understood why people get so uppity about what athletes say and do. They aren't good role models. Jerks, thugs, loudmouths, murderers, rapists, wife beaters, whores (except AC Green), rednecks, racists, drug dealers/users, cheaters, etc etc. I know that I just singled out a small minority of athletes but athletes are human and do stupid human things too.

The "Pontius Pilate Folk" are still having second thoughts on Benning .. there is a ripple of discontent evident just beneath the surface, as always.

RUPERTKBD Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 It begs the question, Deb: This is a re-hash of a two-month old story and posters are using it for nothing more than to spew vitriol at a player, exactly as they did in the original thread. We even have one paragon of tolerance wishing for a career ending injury... With all the "redundant" and "lacking substance" threads that get locked around here, why is this one allowed to continue? Has CDC not used up it's quota of "classless" comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for CDC "using up its quota of classless comments" I fear that will simply never happen as long as Steve Moore is alive. Or Brad Marchant for that matter.

Like really? I used to hate the Bruins just for that Finals run where they played so dirty but I admire how they play now. It's become evident they have a few dirtbags on their team but oh well, they have an amazing team. ...this isn't about "Bruins hate from Canucks fans" or anything like that cause the entire hockey world is talking about it. Seems more you guys are stuck in the past and assuming that's the case when it clearly isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
