The only thing mildly lucky about the Bruins run was beating the Leafs in Game 7, but that was in part due to Lucic going into beast mode and turning things around pretty much on his own. In that game alone you saw how important that guy is to his team, beyond just goals and points.
Does anyone even understand his dbag comment? Who on the Bruins is one? I guess Marchand, but I'd take that talented dbag on my team every day, and twice on Sunday's. I don't see how Lucic could be considered one; he might have a grittier style of play that gets under the oppositions skin, but he's is not a dbag. Has he ever been suspended, attempted to injure someone, or done anything remotely bad to another player? Nope never. Ference dives a bit I guess, but not that often.
Outside of those few who else is there? Chara is a great guy, who does a ton for charity. Bergeron is a class act all around, as are most of the players on the team. Then there are guys like Campbell, Kelly, Paille, Thornton, and Horton who are all around class acts regardless of where they play in the lineup. Rask can be a bit overzealous, but no more than many other goalies. I don't understand how anyone could say Boston has more dbags than most other teams.
Heck moon's hero Sidney is much bigger whiney dbag that almost all of the Bruins.
Edit: I guess Lucic has been suspended a couple times, but only for one game on each occasion. Hardly anything worthy of him being considered a dbag.
For the record, although no one might agree, during the last couple seasons Iginla became just as much of a diver as someone like Ference. He's no saint in that regard either.
