I think Treliving made that trade because he's a much better contributor than Neal and plays a heavy game, not so much for fighting.

Ya, I agree. Lucic had a solid game from what I saw, he threw some huge hits and you could see the Oilers were flinching when he was around. Our forecheck really hemmed them in a few times and that physical play really helped with that. I wasn't unhappy with his effort at all last night and if he had to be the sheriff, you know he would have been even against his former friends.
There was no need for him to go ape **** for no reason.
