Canorth Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Nice hit. Only thing that could have made that sequence better is if it ended with Couture choking on his teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Like c'mon who can even blame him. Who amongst you can honestly say you don't have strong urge to punch this face? To me that scene feels like it was written specifically for Couture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyLuciano Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 This guy needs to be drug tested and checked into the substance abuse program. Maybe some counselling to go with the ego/insecurity issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand rat face Couture especially after the antics he pulled against us in the playoffs two years ago, so I don't blame Lucic at all for doing what he did.

Shift-4 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Was watching when it happened. Loved the crap eating grin from Couture. It mirrored my crap eating grin from just watching the good guys whip the lames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas19 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Honestly I hate Couture so much I really don't mind Lucic doing this at all. Lucic is probably going to sign here next summer so we better get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwen Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Also, in what world is what Lucic did afterwards deserving of a match penalty lol. Really soft call. As per Kerry Fraser's breakdown of the initial hit and the subsequent match penalty handed out to Lucic: The match penalty was imposed by the referees against Lucic (and deserved) as a result of the 85 foot distance Lucic travelled to deliver a forearm shiver/elbow to Couture’s head in retaliation for the hit. The extended timeline between the initial body check and the ultimate attack by Lucic on Couture demonstrates a premeditated act and potentially an intent to injure his opponent. The fact that Lucic delivered an upward blow to the head of Couture also constitutes an illegal check to the head. Since this was not part of a normal play or attempt to deliver a check, the illegal contact was worthy of a match penalty under rule 48.5. http://www.tsn.ca/so-lucic-didn-t-think-he-deserved-a-match-penalty-1.373816 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanGnome Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Found this as well 0:35 ???? dirty by Lucic. The only thing this illustrates to me is Lucic is being targeted because he's more imposing than 90% of other NHL players. Naturally David wants to take on Goliath. Is Lucic guilty of being hot headed and short tempered? Sure, but half of those top 10 hits were dirty and unwarranted. At this point in time, what you see with Lucic is what you get, he's old enough now that if he hasn't managed to wrangle in his temper by now, it's unlikely to begin suddenly by coming to Vancouver (if he does). That said, I still think the Canucks would be better with Lucic than without, if only due to the fact that he creates such an impact on the game (positive or negative), that opponents are forced to alter their approach to the game. Love him or hate him, he's a polarizing player had still has upside. I want Lucic on the team, but not at the price tag that Benning is likely to hand to him. He doesn't have many good years left with the rough and tumble game he plays, and I can't help but feel like we'd get 1-2 good years and 2-3 poor years without an ability to move the contract.

PhillipBlunt Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Lucic Is A Fraudulent Tough Guy May 16, 2014, 11:05 AM ET Paul Stewart Blogger • Former NHL Referee • Follow Paul on Twitter: @paulstewart22 As hockey tough guys go, Boston Bruins' forward Milan Lucic is a fraud. He quite literally pounds his chest and talks the talk but his actions repeatedly suggest otherwise. The things he says and does are beneath the integrity of what being a Bruin used to mean in the old-school hockey days. He has no integrity and no class. I say he has no integrity because his actions on the ice suggest that he's just an another cowardly opportunist. Let's start with the two spearing incidents in the playoffs; one of which was among the nastiest I've seen in years. Spearing is one of hockey's most despicable and dangerous acts. Unfortunately, the so-called Department of Player Safety decided that spearing is worth only a fine and that players won't be suspended for it during the playoffs. The precedent was set in the final game of the regular season when Philadelphia's Scott Hartnell speared Carolina's Brett Bellemore. The NHL lacked the, um, fortitude to suspend Hartnell for any playoff games and issued a fine instead. As a result, the league back itself into a corner and has subsequently issued fines to the spearing offenders in the playoffs or simply not doing anything if the call was not made on the ice. Lucic, however, was the only repeat offender (to date) and skated away from it. Lucic has a history of doing questionable things on the ice that show a complete lack of respect for fellow players. I think back to the way he gratuitously and mercilessly steamrolled Ryan Miller, trying to take the goaltender's head off. He got a two-minute charging minor on the play but it was basically a kamikaze attack. As for Lucic's actions during the post-series handshake line, the player once again showed a complete lack of class and respect. Not only did his threats to Dale Weise violate the spirit of what the handshake line -- and the ever-dying Code -- is about, it smacked of being an idle threat. Over the course of my playing and officiating careers, I had more battles than I can count. Trust me, if I had a score to settle, I did not make idle threats. If we couldn't do it right on the spot, I set a time and place, and we went at it. As far as shaking hands afterwards goes, there were only two players whom I held a permanent grudge against for doing especially egregious things on the ice: Rick Jodzio and Bobby Schmautz. Jodzio cross-checked me in the face, getting me for 64 stitches, a broken jaw, eight teeth spit onto the ice and a concussion. And, yes, I stayed in the game although I was in agony and dazed. I got stitched up, rode back on the team bus in frigid temperatures and had the stitches break. I ended up in the hospital and had plastic and oral surgery. Initially, my teeth had been crudely wired back into my gums. The surgeon in Binghamton did his best to fix that and the plastic surgeon worked on my face. As for Schmautz, the SOB deliberately took a stick to my face and damn near carved out one of my eyes. No, I am not exaggerating. Neither player showed a drop of remorse for his actions. To this day, if either one was in front of me, I'd go right at him. In fact, one of my regrets is that I once passed up an open chance to pay back Schmautz for what he did to me. At any rate, the more I see of Milan Lucic, the more I think he's a gutless puke who deserves to get his someday. I'll tell you something else: he's not a player I'd ever want on my team. If I were Lucic's teammate, I'd be furious about the idea of having to defend him and spill my own blood -- that was my role as an enforcer -- because of situations created by his immaturity and lack of regard for his fellow players. *********http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Paul-Stewart/Lucic-Is-A-Fraudulent-Tough-Guy/196/60086 This coming from an NHL referee, who are truly the lowest life forms in the NHL outside of the commissioner. I'd like to see Stewart say these things to Lucic's face. We'll see who's a gutless puke then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Fast forward 9 months. Canucks sign Lucic in free agency. Suddenly, everybody who whines about him now suddenly loves him. I'd take Lucic on this team in a heat beat. I would love it as long as the price is right. I also don't think its a big deal what he did after he took that hit. That's what he does and I think it should have been a roughing minor, not a match penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
