Lucic
Lomberg
On the back end too, more than one prickly guy per pairing!
Giordano
Hamonic
Valimaki/Andersson
I think having Lucic will go a long way to changing the character of this team and letting everyone feel like they can and should finish their checks whenever given the opportunity. And where you have 2 prickly guys on the ice the entire game in a league that's gone soft, I think it goes a long way to winning a playoff series.
A guy like Lucic on Calgary against the Avs...maybe he gets 0 points. But he wouldn't have let the flames roll over like a bunch of sissies.

the Avs aren't even a tough team though... they have Zadorov, Ian Cole and now Kadri.
Colorado beat the Calgary with speed and skill. the Avs would just skate around Lucic and goad him into penalties imo.
now against a team like the Blues i think is where he can make a difference.
