I recall Mike Vernon's parents, mom especially, had a hard time with that during the latter part of Vernon's 1st tenure in Calgary.

Well in Lucic case, his parents have heard it all already and gone thru some things already (I think their church got vandalized or something after the Bruins won), so you would think it would only get better as they would gain pretty much all the bandwagon fans.
Returning to Vancouver is probably the best thing for Lucic's family.
Oops I forgot to add, Vancouver and their fans are no good.
