Personally, I don't blame anyone for not going after Lucic as we didn't have the right guy to do it in the lineup. I am sure had it happened earlier in the game, Lucic would have been the recipient of multiple hard body checks and slashes but dropping the gloves with him just isn't an option. I do think Ferland could stand toe to toe with him however it simply isn't worth sinking to Lucic level in such a game.
I would like to see a top line RW brought in next year and the ability to have the best option of heavyweight / can skate sit in the press box until required vs being called up and down. Lucic will get his and I hope it comes at the hands of the flames.
